A fluidic device is disclosed, comprising an enclosed passage that is adapted to convey a circulating fluid. The enclosed passage comprises a flow unit having a first electrode and a second electrode offset from the first electrode in a downstream direction of a flow of the circulating fluid. The first electrode is formed as a grid structure and arranged to allow the circulating fluid to flow through the first electrode. The fluidic device may be used for controlling or regulating the flow of the fluid circulating in the enclosed passage, and thereby act as a valve opening, reducing or even closing the passage.

An airflow device projects a flow of air proximate to a field of view of a camera. The airflow device includes: a housing shaped to fit over an end of a camera lens; one or more air pumps located within the housing, the one or more air pumps receiving air through one or more air inlets; and one or more air outlets formed in the housing proximate the camera lens. The one or more air outlets are oriented to project air from the one or more air pumps across a field of view of the camera lens.

The dent removal assembly of the present application is configured to apply a gradual distributed pressure to a hardened material for the purpose of removing dents. The assembly is operable with any vehicle or other tool or panel where a dent may be present. The assembly is configured to regulate the flow of air into and out of the assembly in a controlled manner to cause a desired effect. Air is selectively inserted into an airbag to expand. The expansion presses against a dent and uniformly applies pressure to the dent so as to push it out to a desired position. The method may include the use of one or more braces or the use of a plurality of stacked airbags side to side.

An agricultural work vehicle having an air supply device includes: an air compressor for pressurizing air; an air tank for storing the air compressed by means of the air compressor; a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of the air stored in the air tank or atmospheric pressure; a controller for stopping the operation of the air compressor when the measured pressure exceeds a first reference value; and an air pressure regulator for discharging, to the outside, the air inside an air pressure circuit system so as to reduce the pressure when the pressure of the air stored in the air tank exceeds a second reference value.

An electronic control valve for an HVAC system of a vehicle may include, in the electronic control valve configured to control the angle of a swash plate (angle with respect to the surface perpendicular to a rotation shaft of a compressor) in the compressor in an HVAC system, a solenoid, a plunger coupled to the solenoid member and configured to slid according to whether the solenoid is magnetized, a valve body formed integrally with the plunger, and configured to open or close a supply flow path through which a fluid flows into the compressor, a discharge flow path through which a fluid is discharged from the compressor, and a control flow path through a fluid flows to control the angle of the swash plate mounted inside the compressor, a diaphragm configured to operate the plunger by the pressure of refrigerant, and a return spring configured to return the plunger, and the solenoid is applied with power according to a vehicle target cooling load.

A pump monitoring system includes a pump with a pump body and a releasable head. An RFID transponder is secured to the pump head and an RFID reader in communication with a processor is provided in the pump body. The transponder receives and stores information relating to operation of the pump head. The reader reads information from the transponder and transmits further information to the transponder. The processor interprets the information from the transponder and controls operation of the pump in response.

A pump operated lid that pushes liquid through the lid. The pump operated lid includes an enclosure having an interior volume and an outer perimeter, wherein the outer perimeter is designed to removably secure to a cup. An air pump is within the interior volume along with a power source and a control circuit, each operably connected to the air pump. A switch is on the enclosure and operably connected to the air pump, such that the switch is designed to activate the air pump. One or more valves are on the upper surface and designed to allow air into the interior volume, and close when the air pump is activated. An aperture is on the upper surface and extends through the enclosure and is designed to receive a straw therethrough.
