The tempered portable wash unit generally includes a container having an interior for selectively receiving and retaining a select quantity of fluid. A dispenser may be coupled with the container and be in fluid communication with the fluid retaining interior, the dispenser being actuable between a first closed position restricting outflow of fluid from the container and a second open position permitting dispensing fluid from the container. A heat trace cable may couple with the container and be positioned therewith for generating variable heat along its length thereof in response to changes in localized temperatures to generally maintain the temperature of the fluid within the container within a desired threshold temperature comprising a range of 60° F. to 100° F. in ambient atmospheric temperatures as low as −30° Fahrenheit (“F”) and in compliance with an ANSI Class 1 Div. 1 classification.

A tankless system is provided for use with one or more cartridge-style spray guns for coating pipelines and equipment in remote outdoor locations. The system includes a system case sized to fit into a back of a pickup truck. The system case includes an insulated and heated cartridge container for storing one or more coating or paint cartridges, an independent power source, an independent source of compressed air and a control panel to control power to the system, control and monitor temperature of the cartridge container and control and monitor operation of the source of compressed air. The system is tankless and all coating and paint is provided to the cartridge-style spray guns by the cartridges. A method is also provided for performing painting and coating operations in a remote site using cartridge-style spray guns.

A dental irrigation device for heating a solution and mixing solutes within the solution. The present invention utilizes an oscillator and inductive coil to heat and/or mix the solution. A pump then delivers the heated and mixed pressurized solution from a basin ultimately into a dispenser.

A system for automated de-icing or contamination removal of an aircraft. The system includes a mobile platform, the mobile platform including a set of wheels and a swerve drive for controlling movement of the set of wheels along with a contamination removal apparatus mounted to the mobile platform for delivering contamination removal treatment to the aircraft. The system also includes a processor for receiving instructions associated with the contamination removal treatment from an external party and for controlling the mobile platform and contamination apparatus to deliver the contamination removal treatment.

A modular fluid delivery assembly is provided. The modular fluid delivery assembly comprises a fluid conduit. The modular fluid delivery assembly also comprises an electrical heating element disposed within the fluid conduit. The electrical heating element is configured to provide a heat source within the fluid conduit. The modular fluid delivery assembly also comprises a connection assembly, located proximate an end of the modular fluid delivery assembly, coupled to the heating element and the fluid conduit. The connection assembly is configured to provide a hydraulic coupling to the fluid conduit, and to provide an electronic coupling to the electrical heating element.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for delivering droplets of fluids onto an open tray containing poultry. According to the invention, the apparatus includes a stationary working surface, a single arm carrying a plurality of fluid dispensing nozzles, a drive unit comprising an electric motor for driving the translation of said single arm, said plurality of dispensing nozzles being connected to at least one fluid supply circuit comprising a fluid reservoir for supplying dispensing nozzles, the volume of fluid drawn from said reservoir being determined by a syringe, movement of the plunger of which is controlled by an electrical control element so that the plunger has a feed velocity V in the corresponding syringe. The apparatus also includes a controller for controlling the motor speed and the plunger feed velocity, said controller being configured to synchronize the acceleration/deceleration of the movable arm and the acceleration/deceleration of the plunger of said syringe or of at least one of said syringes.

A sealant dispenser comprising a chassis adapted to carry a supply of sealant dispensable through a nozzle; at least one drive wheel to directionally propel said chassis; and a detection system carried by said chassis to determine a location to dispense sealant through said nozzle and controlling direction of said at least one drive wheel to position said nozzle.

A system and method for delivering materials for deposition is described. The system includes reservoirs for holding materials, heating elements for liquefying the materials (unless they are to be delivered as solids). Once in a desired state, pressure and material delivery systems to move the materials to a deposition nozzle. In the deposition nozzle, or thereabouts, the materials combine and are prepared to be deposited. An agitation element is used to break up the material and push it out of the nozzle tip in an atomized or droplet form. Changes in the material composition/concentration result in adjustment in heat, pressure or deposition agitation.

Apparatus for providing heated cleaning fluid to a vehicle surface includes an inlet port for receiving an amount of fluid, a housing bounding a reservoir in fluid communication with the inlet port, and an outlet port in fluid communication with the reservoir for dispensing an amount of heated fluid. A heater element heats fluid passing from the inlet port to the outlet port through the reservoir. A heat exchanger in thermal contact with the heater element for conveying heat to fluid within the reservoir has a strut that divides fluid entering the housing through the inlet port into two flow paths and elongated fins extending outwardly from the strut at transverse angles that bound fluid flow channels for fluid moving through the reservoir. A control circuit energizes the heater element to heat the heating element and the fluid passing from the inlet port to the outlet port through the reservoir.

Systems and methods are described for generating low altitude clouds saturated with moisture above bodies of water including oceans, lakes, reservoirs, and rivers to generate rain down wind of the location of rain cloud generation.
