A system for regulating fluid flow having a processor configured to reduce image noise is provided. The system includes an image sensor to capture an image of the drip chamber. The processor captures the image of the drip chamber using the image sensor, performs an edge detection on the image to generate a first processed image, and performs an AND-operation on a pixel on a first side of an axis of the first processed image with a corresponding mirror pixel on a second side of the axis of the first processed image to generate a second processed image.

Provided is a system and method for rapidly cleaning a surface utilizing a plurality of quick exhaust valves wherein the system is configured for particularly cleaning large or cylindrically shaped surfaces of sensors mounted to an exterior of a vehicle. The system and method contemplate the use of a plurality of quick exhaust valves arranged with at least one nozzle and at least one solenoid valve to efficiently express a dose of pressurized air onto the surface.

The invention comprises a cylindrical reservoir (1) with a mouth (14), side through hole (3), shaft (28) and perimeter flange (8) whose top is associated with a concentric cover (2) anchored to the container (6) equipped with an upper mouth (13), vertical or diagonal grooves (16) and a lower mouth (11); the cover (2) enables the rotary or longitudinal sliding of the reservoir (1), which is activated by the pressure exerted by the cap (T) on said reservoir (1) which descends when the container is closed and takes the side through hole (3) out from inside the cover (2), descent that enables the reservoir (1) to be filled; when removing said cap (T), the reservoir (1) rises driven by the compression means (10), (17), (24) or (25) leaving the through hole (3) thereof enclosed inside the cover (2); the dose (Ds) is selected by tipping over the container (6) and when the liquid returns to the vertical position and is levelled, it is calibrated and when the cap is unscrewed, it is served and used, and so on.

An apparatus, system and method for regulating fluid flow are disclosed. The apparatus includes a flow rate sensor and a valve. The flow rate sensor uses images to estimate flow through a drip chamber and then controls the valve based on the estimated flow rate. The valve comprises a rigid housing disposed around the tube in which fluid flow is being controlled. Increasing the pressure in the housing controls the size of the lumen within the tube by deforming the tube, therefore controlling flow through the tube.
