An antifreeze cartridge includes a container containing an antifreeze agent, and a sealing film on the container. A connecting structure is configured and intended to be connected by force fit or form fit to a complementary receiver of an antifreeze inlet of a motor vehicle. The container has a handling portion which is configured and intended to allow the manual connection of the connecting structure to the complementary receiver of the antifreeze inlet. The sealing film is configured and intended to be perforated by a hollow perforation element of the antifreeze inlet so that the antifreeze agent contained in the container can be supplied to a frost-protection system of the motor vehicle through the hollow perforation element. A motor vehicle has an antifreeze inlet wherein the antifreeze inlet is accessible from the outside of an engine bay of the motor vehicle without opening a hood of the motor vehicle.

Disclosed is a portable container with a refill structure, which includes: first and second containers that are open towards each other and form a contents receptacle space by being inserted in a watertight and variable way and communicating with each other; a one-way valve attached to the first container to allow the contents to be introduced; and a pump unit attached to the second container to release the contents held in the receptacle space through a nozzle. A negative pressure is generated in the receptacle space by pulling out the first and second containers in a watertight way.

The present invention relates to a system and assembly for refilling a reservoir with liquid dispensed from a dispenser, in particular, but not exclusively, to a system and assembly for the substantially leak-free refilling of the reservoir of a smoking-substitute device with a liquid comprising nicotine from a refill dispenser. The assembly is configured to provide a gas communication pathway through the assembly and physically separate from the liquid communication pathway for venting gas from an end of the assembly proximal the first aperture to an exterior of the assembly responsive to the movement of the assembly to the secured and open configuration, the assembly configured to close the gas communication pathway in the unsecured and closed configuration.

A filling system for an electronic cigarette (10) is disclosed in which a nozzle (38) of a liquid dispenser (80) contains a plunger (62) which is biased by a spring (60) into a closed position in which liquid is prevented from flowing through the nozzle (38). In use the nozzle (38) is inserted into an open end (42) of a liquid reservoir (34) for an electronic cigarette containing an air tube (32). The plunger (62) engages with the end of the air tube (32) blocking the air tube (32) and opening the liquid flow path through the nozzle (38). The arrangement of the plunger (62) and nozzle (38) is such that operation of the plunger (62) only occurs when the nozzle (38) engaged within a liquid reservoir (32). A membrane (96) can be provided to prevent leakage from the liquid reservoir (34) when the nozzle (38) is disengaged.

An apparatus for injecting an additive in a pressurized air conditioning or refrigeration system having a service valve includes a cartridge with a piston, an adapter configured to be connected to the service valve, and a bending unit interposed between the adapter and the cartridge. The bending unit includes a flexible capillary tube having a first end fitting adapted to be connected to the cartridge. The flexible capillary tube has a second end fitting adapted to be connected to the adapter. The flexible capillary tube is adapted to be bent at least at 90° without kinking.

A system and method for distributing color-coded dilution ratios of cleaning concentrates at different dilution ratios and flow rates. The system mixes a concentrated cleaning composition with different quantities of water to produce diluted concentrates. A plurality of separate dyes or scented dyes are added to the diluted concentrates, with each color of dye correlating to a unique diluted concentrate. This provides a visual indication of the dilution ratio of the diluted concentrate. A plurality of metering devices selectively dispense the dyed diluted concentrates at different dilution ratios and at multiple flow rates. The metering devices are labeled with identification markings, indicating dilution ratios and flow rates. The dilution ratio and the flow rate are selected based on the type of cleaning that is required, and the type of dispensing means used for cleaning. A plurality of lines carry the concentrated cleaning composition, water, dyes, and dyed diluted concentrate.

Introduced here are systems for customized formulation and production of cleaning products and associated methods for using those systems. A system may include a computer-implemented platform (also referred to as a formulation platform or production platform) that is communicatively connected to an interactive dispensing machine responsible for making cleaning products. An individual or company may be permitted to select, create, or modify formulas via the production platform, while the interactive dispensing machine can produce cleaning products in accordance with those formulas.

In one embodiment, a dual modulator display systems and methods for rendering target image data upon the dual modulator display system are disclosed where the display system receives target image data, possible HDR image data and first calculates display control signals and then calculates backlight control signals from the display control signals. This order of calculating display signals and then backlight control signals later as a function of the display systems may tend to reduce clipping artifacts. In other embodiments, it is possible to split the input target HDR image data into a base layer and a detail layer, wherein the base layer is the low spatial resolution image data that may be utilized as for backlight illumination data. The detail layer is higher spatial resolution image data that may be utilized for display control data.

A fluid transfer connector or adapter for coupling to a container or pharmacy bottle for facilitating the transfer of fluid or medicine from the bottle to a syringe, or from the syringe to the bottle. Optionally, an additional connector can be provided for coupling the fluid transfer connector to the syringe.

The invention relates to removal equipment for removing fuel from a fuel container for fuel cells, wherein the removal equipment comprises: a sealing element for sealing an opening in the fuel container; a fuel line for establishing a first fluid connection between a fuel removal opening in the sealing element and a liquid fuel inside the fuel container; a float suitable for floating on the liquid fuel within the fuel container; and a flexible pressure equalisation line for establishing a second fluid connection between a gas region inside the fuel container, more particularly above the liquid fuel, and a pressure equalisation opening in the sealing element; wherein an end section of the pressure equalisation line is connected to the float. The removal device according to the invention is characterised in that the float is equipped with a damping device for damping impacts of the float against a wall of the fuel container.
