A system for biological decontamination uses high velocity low pressure emitters to create a fog of liquid decontamination agent or liquid and gaseous decontamination agents to blanket a volume to be decontaminated. The liquid decontamination agent and atomizing gas are suppled under pressure to the emitters which create various shock fronts in the gas stream as the gas is discharged from the emitters. The liquid decontamination agent is entrained in the gas stream as it is also discharged from the emitter, and the shock fronts atomize the liquid decontamination agent into droplets which form the decontaminating fog.

An additive manufacturing (AM) system includes a housing defining a chamber, a build platform disposed in the chamber at a first elevation, and a lower gas inlet disposed at a second elevation and configured to supply a lower gas flow. The AM system includes a contoured surface extending between the lower gas inlet and the build platform to direct the lower gas flow from the second elevation at the lower gas inlet to the first elevation at the build platform, where the contoured surface discharges the lower gas flow in a direction substantially parallel to the build platform. The AM system also includes one or more gas delivery devices coupled to the lower gas inlet to regulate one or more flow characteristics of the lower gas flow, and a gas outlet configured to discharge the lower gas flow.

A method for analysing a device for spraying a pharmaceutical fluid product including the following steps: providing a spray head of a device for spraying a pharmaceutical fluid product, the spray head having a spray orifice; providing a receiving surface having a plurality of discrete contact zones separated by voids, the contact zones capable of being coated with a heat sensitive material, bringing the receiving surface to a temperature T2, passing a flow of compressed gas through the spray orifice, the flow of compressed gas at a temperature T1 which differs from T2, sending the flow of compressed gas at temperature T1 onto the receiving surface at temperature T2, visualising the impact zone for the flow of compressed gas on the receiving surface, and analysing the visualisation of the impact zone in order to determine whether the spray head complies with predetermined specifications.

A spray gun including a nozzle portion in which a substantially V-shaped groove is formed in a circular section of a truncated conical front end with a cone angle ranging from 20° to 90°, and an internal hole is opened as a liquid ejecting port by forming the substantially V-shaped groove; and a gas cap including a cap face which is provided with an atomized gas opening portion having an opening diameter larger than the circular section, the gas cap forming a circular slit-like gap between the gas cap and an outer periphery of the truncated conical front end, the gap being configured to eject gas for atomizing liquid. The circular section of the truncated conical front end has a diameter ranging from 0.8 mm to 2.8 mm. The atomized gas opening portion has the opening diameter equal to or larger than 1.0 mm and smaller than 3.0 mm.

A system and method for applying a coating to a surface. The coating can include any typical coating, but in some examples includes a styrenated acrylic coating. The coating is first applied. Thereafter, a quick-set formula which includes a brine solution is applied atop the first coating. The quick-set formula sets the first coating. Thereafter, a second coating, or multiple coatings, can be applied atop the first coating. Due to the quick-set formula, the second coating can be applied in less than 15 minutes.

In front view of the application nozzle, all of the pressurized air flow K and adhesive flow H are made to run parallel to each other in the vertical direction. Of the pressurized air flows K from the pressurized air hole b in the pressurized air plate, the two that are located on one side of the adhesive hole opening a and from a pair in the front-to-back direction are tilted so as to approach each other. The extension lines thereof are located on the side of the adhesive bead, which results from the adhesive flow discharged from the adhesive hole opening, and have directions that converge. The respective pressurized air flows on the two side of the adhesive bead are made to flow downward while uniting in the direction of convergence. A web in which the adhesive bead is elongated while being swung in the transverse direction is formed and, near the bottom surface of the application nozzle, a non-interference space Q is formed between the adhesive bead and the fore pressurized air flow. The adhesive bead, resulting from the adhesive flow discharged from the adhesive hole opening, and the pressurized air flows do not interfere with each other and walls R of pressurized air flows are formed below the non-interference space Q and on either side of the adhesive bead.
