A product dispensing system includes at least one recirculation network configured for communication with a system pump. The at least one recirculation network includes at least one sprayer boom tube and a plurality of product dispensers distributed along the at least one sprayer boom tube. A network pump is in communication with the at least one sprayer boom tube. The at least one recirculation network includes a dispensing configuration and a recirculation configuration. In the dispensing configuration the recirculation network is configured for communication with a supply tank and an agricultural product reservoir. In the recirculation configuration the recirculation network is isolated from the supply tank and the agricultural product reservoir, and the recirculation network includes a recirculation loop continuously extending through the network pump and the at least one sprayer boom tube.

A field-configurable apparatus for different aerial applications is provided. The field-configurable apparatus attaches to an aerial boom on a mobile carrier. The apparatus can perform rapid semi-precise cutting of vegetation. Additionally, the apparatus can perform more precise trimming of one or more areas (e.g., limbs) and optionally use a limb clamp to prevent cut limbs/vegetation from arbitrarily falling on objects below the cutting area. Still further, the apparatus can have a grapple or similar device attached to the end of the boom for use in relocating debris or for loading debris. Other industrial applications are also possible (e.g., commercial water blasting, deicing of planes, etc.). In each configuration, the apparatus comprises one or more rotatable or pivoting couplings to allow for rotation about one or more axis and therefore allow precise manipulation of an aerial tool assembly from an operator in the vehicle or on the ground.

A makeup machine includes a spray head, a main body, an arched track, and vertical support. The spray head has a receptacle to receive a spray cartridge containing a skin spray. The main body houses a controller circuit that controls a position of the spray head with respect to a target of the skin spray. The arched track has a curved shape on a horizontal plane, and the vertical support is attached to the arched track. The controller circuit causes the spray head to slide along the arched track, and adjusts a height of the vertical support to cause the arched track and the spray head to move up and down. The makeup machine also includes a linear track controlled by the controller circuit to adjust a horizontal distance between the spray head and the target.

Systems, devices, and methods for passing vertical travel robotic tank cleaning systems through openings while mounted to existing riser structures, the system can extend to the bottom of the tank and horizontally more than approximately 30 feet. Plural systems can be used within a tank to break down solid sludge by placing high-pressure nozzle(s) in close proximity to solid waste providing maximum coverage. A mechanical arm with a nozzle assembly utilizes high- and low-pressure fluid streams to fluidize and liquefy solids while directly moving them to a centrally located transfer pump. The systems work in highly radioactive, chemically aggressive, explosive, high temperature and low temperature environments through hydraulic actuation. Multiple axis of freedom allows the arm and nozzle assembly to navigate and clean around internal obstacles and reach close proximity for maximum nozzle impingement force. Systems can be remotely operated up to approximately 1000 feet away.

An aerosol distributor for filter leakage detection in a gas filtration system, said aerosol distributor being configured to be positioned in a gas stream upstream of the filter, said aerosol distributor comprising: a rotatable distributor housing comprising a hub in fluid connection with two or more radial chambers evenly distributed around said hub, the distributor housing having an inlet for admitting a test aerosol from an aerosol source via the hub into the radial chambers, each radial chamber being elongated, sealed at a distal end, and provided with a plurality of outlet holes distributed along the length thereof for releasing the aerosol from the radial chamber into a gas stream surrounding the aerosol distributor, and wherein said aerosol distributor further comprises an actuator configured to rotate the distributor housing around a central axis thereof.
