A multipurpose blower assembly for stimulating flows in underwater environments, which includes a lower assembly connecting to an upper assembly by a rotating shaft and a mount post for connecting the blower assembly to a supportive structure near a water body and supporting the lower assembly below and the upper assembly above the water body's surface. The lower assembly includes a lower bracket for supporting a blower motor, whereas the upper assembly includes a top plate for mounting an electrical gear motor having an output shaft connecting to the rotating shaft and a system controller having a microcontroller communicatively coupled to logic circuits for controlling operation of the electrical gear motor for rotation of the lower assembly relative to the upper assembly and a linear actuator to move upward and downward the lower bracket to effect angular positioning of the blower motor.

The invention relates to a mixing device for mixing a fluid in a container, in particular of a fluid system, comprising a fluid supply and at least one outlet arm with an outlet opening, the fluid supply being connected to the at least one outlet arm in a fluid-communicating fashion. According to the invention, the outlet opening, for an outlet of the fluid, is oriented towards an outlet direction in order to set the fluid in the container rotating at least in sections thereof.

An applicator for dispensing adhesive and a method of diverting flow in an applicator are disclosed. The applicator includes a plurality of pump assemblies each having an inlet and an outlet, a plurality of dispensing modules each having an inlet, and a flow diverter plate in fluid communication with the plurality of pump assemblies. The flow diverter plate defines a body having a first surface in fluid communication with the plurality of pump assemblies, a second surface opposite the first surface in fluid communication with the plurality of dispensing modules, and a plurality of diverter passages extending from the first surface to the second surface. Each of the plurality of diverter passages has a first opening on the first surface and a second opening on the second surface, and the first opening is in fluid communication with the outlet of one of the plurality of pump assemblies, and the second opening is in fluid communication with the inlet of at least one of the plurality of dispensing modules.

An agitation blade for agitating a liquid includes a cylindrical core having a central axis of rotation and a plurality of blade portions provided on a side of a first surface of a rotation portion, and the plurality of blade portions are provided to surround the central axis of rotation and provided to be rotated with respect to a center of rotation of the central axis of rotation.

An aerating and liquid agitating device to efficiently introduce high velocity, agitating air into a water line for mixing and aerating water tanks. An illustrative embodiment of the aerating and liquid agitating device includes a device fitting having an ingress end configured to be coupled to a liquid pump, an egress end and an opening between the ingress end and the egress end. The device fitting may be configured to accommodate flow of a liquid from the ingress end to the egress end. An air inlet fitting may extend through the opening in the device fitting and terminate inside the device fitting. The air inlet fitting may be defined by a terminal angled profile sloped between from about 35 to about 90. An air inlet hose may be coupled to the air inlet fitting. The air inlet hose may be configured to introduce air through the air inlet fitting into the device fitting.

An automated computer-controlled sampling system and related methods for collecting, processing, and analyzing agricultural samples for various chemical properties such as plant available nutrients. The sampling system allows multiple samples to be processed and analyzed for different analytes or chemical properties in a simultaneous concurrent or semi-concurrent manner. Advantageously, the system can process soil samples in the as collected condition without drying or grinding. The system generally includes a sample preparation sub-system which receives soil samples collected by a probe collection sub-system and produces a slurry (i.e. mixture of soil, vegetation, and/or manure and water), and a chemical analysis sub-system which processes the prepared slurry samples for quantifying multiple analytes and/or chemical properties of the sample. The sample preparation and chemical analysis sub-systems can be used to analyze soil, vegetation, and/or manure samples.
