A tank volume measurement system and method. The tank volume measurement system receives a tank identifier indicating which tank the level sensor is sensing, receives a tank level indication from a level sensor, correlates the tank level to a tank volume using a calibrated strapping chart, and outputs a volume indication to a user.

Automatic flavoring and water dispensing systems are disclosed. The systems may be used to add flavorings to medications, and to reconstitute medications by adding water. The systems include multiple flavoring containers communicating with a valve assembly that controls the type and amount of each flavoring to be delivered during a dispensing operation. Water for reconstitution purposes may be provided through the flavoring valve assembly and/or through a separate valve. An input device such as a code scanner may be used to input data regarding the type of medication to be flavored into the system, and a flavoring formulary may be used to provide multiple flavoring options. The dispensing system allows for automatic dispensing of medication flavorings and/or reconstitution water from a single unit.

A counter mountable fluid dispenser includes a below deck reservoir for storing a fluid comprising at least one of a soap, an anti-bacterial cleanser, a disinfectant, and a lotion, an above deck spout including an outlet port in fluid communication with the reservoir for dispensing fluid stored in the reservoir and an external supply port connected with the reservoir by a supply passage to supply fluid to the reservoir, a supply access valve connected with the supply passage and operable to block flow from the external supply port to the reservoir in a closed position and to permit flow from the external supply port to the reservoir in the open position, and a controller in communication with the supply access valve for controller operation of the supply access valve from a closed position to an open position in response to receipt of an authorized supply signal at the controller.

This invention discloses a fluid discharge system and the squeezer thereof. The squeezer includes a pair of rolling shafts, a driving device, and a mounting bracket, wherein the pair of rolling shafts is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket. Each rolling shaft has a mounting part at each of both ends and a squeezing segment located between the mounting parts. A pair of rolling shafts can operatively clamp an object to be clamped between the squeezing segments and can rotate oppositely through a driving device to apply a squeezing force to the object clamped. The squeezing segment includes a supporting shaft and an elastic body provided around the supporting shaft. The squeezer also has a protective device for protecting the elastic body at the end of the squeezing segment. The discharge system provided by this invention is a zero-residue discharge system needing not to hanging the liner bag, and has a simple structure, a good manufacturing process, simple operation, and cost savings.

The driving device includes a motor, wherein the motor is mounted around the rolling shaft. The fluid discharge system and the squeezer provided by the present invention are a zero-residue discharge system without liner suspension, have a long effective squeezing length, and are easy to operate.

Exemplary sanitary soap refilling systems and methods are disclosed herein. An exemplary refill refilling system includes a housing, a pump located within the housing, and a bulk storage tank connector. The bulk storage tank connector having a liquid outlet and an air inlet. A liquid inlet conduit is in fluid communication with the pump the liquid outlet. A refill connector is included. The refill connector has a liquid inlet and an air outlet. The refill connector air outlet and the bulk storage tank connector air inlet are in fluid communication with one another. The refill liquid inlet is in fluid communication with the pump.

An apparatus for minimizing dead leg spaces in a container or tubing includes a first member having a flange for attaching the first member to a wall of the container or tubing, the flange having at least one aperture, and a second member rotatably coupled to the first member, the second member having an upper end having at least one aperture, and an open distal end. The second member is rotatable relative to the first member between a closed position where the at least one aperture of the second member is misaligned with the at least one aperture in the flange to prevent the passage of fluid, and an open position where the at least one aperture of the second member is aligned with the at least one aperture in the flange to allow for the passage of fluid.

In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a housing and a mount. The housing includes a cover portion and a base portion. The cover portion and the base portion define an interior. The housing defines an opening via which the interior can be accessed from a region external to the housing. The mount is coupled to the base portion and configured to maintain a position of a fillable component within the interior of the housing such that an elastomeric membrane of the fillable component is aligned with the opening defined by the housing and a reservoir of the fillable component is accessible by a needle via the opening and the elastomeric membrane.

A cartridge includes a cartridge housing, an atomizing head, and a sealing member. A liquid storage cavity for storing e-liquid is formed inside the cartridge housing. The atomizing head is located at one end of the cartridge housing, and the sealing member is located at the other end of the cartridge housing opposite to the atomizing head. The atomizing head is in communication with the liquid storage cavity and the outside. When a liquid injection needle is used to inject liquid into the cartridge, the liquid injection needle pierces the sealing member and extends into the cartridge housing to inject e-liquid into the liquid storage cavity. The air in the liquid storage cavity is discharged out through the end of the cartridge housing with the atomizing head. After the liquid injection needle is pulled out, the sealing member will form a self-sealing at the pierced position.
