Some embodiments disclosed herein related to a device for transferring precise amounts of fluid from at least one source container to a at least one target container. In some embodiments, the fluid is first transferred from the source container (e.g., a vial) through a connector to an intermediate measuring container (e.g., a syringe). In some embodiments air can pass through an air inlet and enter the vial to compensate for the volume of fluid withdrawn from the vial. An air check valve or a bag or a filter can prevent the fluid from escaping through the air inlet. The precisely measured amount of fluid can then be transferred from the intermediate measuring container to the target container (e.g., an IV bag). In some embodiments the connector can include a source check valve and a target check valve to direct fluid first from the source container to the intermediate measuring container and then from the intermediate measuring container to the target container. Some embodiments of the device can include a motor and a controller for automatically actuating a plunger of the syringe to transfer the desired amount of fluid.

A washing machine including a detergent supply device to supply a detergent together with water to a tub. The detergent supply device includes a detergent housing installed within the main body and a detergent accommodation box movably installed within the detergent housing, and the detergent accommodation box is divided into automatic detergent accommodation parts to accommodate a detergent to be supplied automatically and manual detergent accommodation parts to accommodate a detergent to be supplied manually, and the detergent supply device supplies the detergents through an automatic detergent supply method and a manual detergent supply method.

A dispenser may dispense a predetermined amount of fluid from a fluid container. The dispenser may include an actuator that applies a force to a nozzle of the fluid container to open the nozzle for a period of time based. The period of time may be based on the predetermined amount of fluid. The dispenser may include a weight sensor, wherein the weight sensor detects a weight of the fluid in a fluid container. The period of time may be based on the weight of the fluid in the fluid container.

An automated container fill line system comprises a container fill line configured to transport a plurality of containers at a fill line speed, and a filler configured to dispense a material into each of the containers individually and sequentially. An Expert System is configured to control the container fill line speed using a set of hierarchical rules and one or more machine learning models associated with equipment of the container fill line.

Some embodiments of the device can include a motor and a controller for automatically actuating a plunger of the syringe to transfer the desired amount of fluid.

Provided herein are systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products relating to a dynamic dispensing system. Embodiments may include a dishwasher including a washing chamber, a water supply, an additive supply, and a plurality of fluid supply lines that provide fluid communication between the water supply and the washing chamber and the additive supply and the washing chamber. The dishwasher includes one or more pumps that direct additives stored in the additive supply to the washing chamber and water from the water supply to the washing chamber. The dishwasher further includes a tank sensor within the washing chamber and a controller communicably coupled to the controller. The controller may receive and analyze signals from the tank sensor to determine an additive concentration within the washing chamber and cause additive or water to be added to the washing chamber in response to the signal.

A water dispenser is provided that includes an upper chamber for receiving liquid, a triptych-layer filtering assembly operably coupled to the upper chamber, a lower chamber operably coupled to the triptych-layer filtering assembly for dispensing filtered liquid, and a float assembly system. In one embodiment, the float assembly is operably coupled to the upper and lower chambers. The float assembly system may include a float body, a float valve and a float seal.

A mechanism for dispensing fluids to a manufacturing process includes a vented fluid reservoir, a pressure chamber, and a pump in fluid communication with the vented fluid reservoir and the pressure chamber for pumping fluid from the vented fluid reservoir to one end of the pressure chamber. The mechanism also includes an air compressor for supplying air under pressure to an opposite end of the pressure chamber, a fluid level sensor responsive to the level of fluid in the pressure chamber, and a controller connected to the fluid level sensor and to the pump. The mechanism also includes a pressure chamber outlet, and a fluid dispensing component. The fluid dispensing component includes a first venturi at an inlet into a supply chamber, a second venturi at an outlet from the supply chamber, and an electrically controlled valve in fluid communication with the second venturi.

A refrigeration device includes a refrigerated compartment, a door that seals the compartment, a dispenser opening in an exterior surface of the door, and a dispenser outlet in the opening. The refrigeration device also includes a reservoir configured to hold a substance and a conveyor configured to convey the substance from the reservoir to the dispenser outlet. Measurement sensors of the refrigeration device are configured to generate first measurement signals that are indicative a gesture of a hand in the dispenser opening. A control unit of the refrigeration device is configured to ascertain a requested fill height based upon the first measurement signals. The control unit is further configured to generate signals that cause the conveyor to convey the substance from the reservoir to a container placed under the dispenser outlet and cease conveying the substance upon the container attaining the requested fill level.
