Methods and apparatus for identifying live eggs utilize a cup (430) having a photodetector (432) therewithin that overlies a portion of an egg. The egg is illuminated via a light source (420) positioned adjacent the egg. Variations in the intensity of light passing through the egg is detected via the photodetector (432) which generates an output signal corresponding to detected light intensity. The output signal is processed to identify cyclical and non- cyclical variations in light intensity. The egg is designated as a live egg in response to identifying cyclical and/or non-cyclical variations in light intensity.
L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil d'identification d'oeufs vivants, qui mettent en oeuvre une coquille munie d'un photodétecteur surplombant une partie d'un oeuf. L'oeuf est éclairé par l'intermédiaire d'une source lumineuse placée à proximité immédiate de l'oeuf. Des variations de l'intensité lumineuse traversant l'oeuf sont détectées par le photodétecteur qui émet un signal de sortie correspondant à l'intensité lumineuse détectée. Le signal de sortie est traité en vue d'identifier des variations cycliques ou non cycliques de l'intensité lumineuse. L'oeuf est considéré comme vivant si des variations cycliques et/ou non cycliques de l'intensité lumineuse sont identifiées.
