A portable, hand-held electrospinning or electrospraying device and system, method, and portions thereof are described. Such device can be for electrospinning or electrospraying a predetermined solution toward a deposit surface. The device can have a durable portion, a semi-durable portion, and a consumable portion. The consumable portion can be received and held by the semi-durable portion, and the semi-durable portion holding the consumable portion can be removably coupled to the durable portion.

The present invention discloses a device for controlling the application of insecticides for indoor residual spraying using a sprayer comprising a lance with a spray nozzle, a distance sensor configured to measure the distance between the spray nozzle and the surface being sprayed, an indicator of the distance measured by said sensor, and an indicator of the spraying rate and means of attachment to the sprayer lance and a pipe which allows the insecticide to pass through, and in that the indicator of the distance measured comprises a luminous device which changes colour according to the distance measured by said sensor; a method of applying insecticides for indoor residual spraying by the use thereof, the use thereof to control the application of insecticides and a sprayer which comprises a control device according to the present invention.

A spray application system and a method of its operation are provided for applying a spray treatment onto a surface of an airframe of an aircraft. The spray application system includes a set of multiple modular hood units that are combinable to form a combined enclosure that defines a shared interior volume. Each modular hood unit of the set includes one or more enclosure walls. At least two airframe-interfacing edges of each modular hood unit define a portion of a spray treatment region of the airframe. At least one inter-unit-interfacing edge of each modular hood unit is configured to interface with another inter-unit-interfacing edge of a neighboring modular hood unit of the set to form at least a portion of the combined enclosure. A spray access port is defined within an enclosure wall of each modular hood unit.

Provided is an aerosol generating device which is capable of stopping aerosol generation at an appropriate timing. This aerosol generating device includes a power source which supplies power in order to atomize an aerosol source and/or heat a flavor source; a sensor which outputs a measurement value for controlling the power supplied; and a circuitry which controls the power supplied from the power source on the basis of the measurement value. The circuitry controls to increase a power supply amount per unit time in response to a first condition that the measured value is equal to or larger than a first threshold being satisfied, and to decrease the power supply amount per unit time in response to a second condition that the measured value is less than a second threshold greater than the first threshold and a third condition which is different from the first condition and the second condition being satisfied.

Location systems and methods for locating paint and other markings on a surface are described. More specifically, but not exclusively, the disclosure relates to smart paint stick devices and methods of use in locating and marking buried utility lines or other buried objects. One system for locating a buried object may include a buried object locator and a paint stick. The locator may include a tracking component configured to detect a location of a buried object. The paint stick may be configured to cause a paint container to dispense paint at a first position associated with the location of the buried object. The paint stick may include a position determination component configured to transmit one or more range vector signals that are detected by the tracking component. Sensors may be used to determine when paint is dispensed from a paint container, and to determine a color of the paint or a type of a marking.

An application system is provided, which includes an application device configured to discharge a coating material from a discharge circuit; an articulated robot configured to change a position and an orientation of the discharge circuit such that the coating material from the discharge circuit is applied to a workpiece; and a control device configured to control the application device and the articulated robot, in which the control device includes a target value calculation circuit and an operation control circuit.

A reusable pump dispenser may simultaneously dispense and cool a product to a user. The product may be dispensed or dosed in predetermined and/or amounts desired by a user. The product may be cooled from an ambient temperature to a product application temperature. A cooling circuit subassembly may control the temperature, viscosity, and additional properties of the product, thereby providing a maximum benefit of the product when applied to the user. The reusable pump dispenser may eliminate microbes from the product and may provide a physical structure that may be held in a user's hand. The reusable pump dispenser may provide a reusable housing that may be easily replaced, refilled, and reused.

A powder conveying device for coating powder includes a powder conveyor having a powder outlet duct and a powder outlet valve for opening or for closing the powder outlet duct. Additionally, a setpoint value generator for specify a setpoint opening period of the powder outlet valve, and a sensor for determining the actual opening period of the powder outlet valve are provided. The powder conveying device furthermore includes an evaluation unit for determining the deviation between the setpoint opening period and the actual opening period.
