Mix manifold and valve seal assembly
A mix manifold (16) includes a plurality of valves to control the flow of material therethrough. First and second valves (36a, 36b) are linked for simultaneous actuation. The first and second valves each include valve members (56a, 56b) disposed within and rotatable relative to seal bodies (58a, 58b). The valve members seal against the seal bodies and the seal bodies seal against the manifold. A solvent valve (36c) also includes a valve member (56c) in a seal body (58c). The first and second valves are configured to open only when the solvent valve is closed. The solvent valve is configured to open only when the first and second valves are closed. The solvent valve can rotate between a plurality of positions to control the flow of solvent to flowpaths downstream of the first and second valves.
Systems and methods for spreading particulate material
Systems and methods for managing spreading of particulate material over a surface by a spreader. One step of the method includes receiving a selection of a type of the spreader. An additional step includes receiving a selection of a type of the particulate material to be spread by the spreader. An additional step includes obtaining data indicative of a travel speed of the spreader, with the data being received from a sensor associated with the spreader. An additional step includes determining an operational attribute of the spreader. The determination is based on (i) the type of the spreader, (ii) the type of the particulate material, and (ii) the travel speed of the spreader. A further step includes presenting the operational attribute.
PRODUCT DISPENSER HOLDER WITH COMPLIANCE MODULE
A product dispenser holder comprises a dispenser holder body configured to receive a product dispenser that stores a supply of a product to be dispensed, an actuation sensor that senses actuations of the product dispenser, and an actuation button, such that when an actuation force is applied to a pump of the product dispenser, a substantially downward force is applied to the actuation button causing the actuation button to rotate substantially downwardly and actuate the actuation sensor to generate a dispenser actuation signal.
Vehicular work machine and method for vehicular work machine water control
The present disclosure relates to a vehicular work machine (10) that is adapted for handling at least two different interchangeable tools (4). The machine (10) also comprises a user control device (11) and a water supply arrangement (31) that is adapted to distribute water for retaining dust that is created when a tool (4) is used, The water supply arrangement (31) comprises a controllable valve (24) that is arranged to control the flow of the water that is distributed via at least one nozzle (29). The user control device (11) is arranged for selection of a desired tool, where at least one selectable tool is associated with a certain predefined water setting. Each water setting relates to a certain relative flow of distributed water during a certain time that is related to the time said tool (4) is chosen and performing a certain work procedure, and/or to the time said tool (4) is chosen and ready to perform a certain work procedure.

METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SPRAYING DEVICE AND SPRAYING DEVICE
A mist spraying unit atomizes a liquid and sprays the liquid as a mist, a light projector irradiates a space into which the mist is sprayed from the mist spraying unit with light, an imaging unit images scattered light by the mist of the light irradiated from the light projector, and an arithmetic unit calculates a mist concentration in the space based on a luminance value of a pixel constituting an image acquired from the imaging unit, thereby stopping spraying of the mist sprayed from the mist spraying unit.
Optical spray pattern imaging apparatus for generating images including density image features
A spray pattern imaging apparatus, and method of operation, is described herein. The method is carried out by the spray pattern imaging apparatus that includes a frame having a set of known aspects corresponding to a first dimension and a second dimension within a first plane. The spray pattern imaging apparatus also includes a light source generating a planar light pattern within a substantially same plane as the first plane of the frame. The set of known aspects facilitate both correcting an image distortion and a scaling of a spray pattern image generated by an image acquisition device during a spray application by a nozzle positioned in a physical relationship with the planar light pattern such that spray particles emitted from the spray nozzle pass through the planar light pattern while an initial image is acquired by the image acquisition device.
