A device and to a process which can be carried out using the device, for the production of fine particles from a liquid which solidifies upon cooling, in particular from liquid fat. The process has the advantage of producing fine particles of very small size, preferably with narrow size distribution. The device has the advantage that a solidifying liquid can be supplied at a temperature above its solidification temperature, without cooling gas leading to solidification of the liquid in the supply line, which cooling gas is used in the production of the particles.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for dry fogging system. The system includes a first liquid tank including compressed air and a first liquid configured to disinfect and sterilize. The system further includes a second liquid tank including a second liquid. The system further includes a control panel configured to regulate dispensing of the first liquid and the second liquid. The first liquid tank, the second liquid tank, and the control panel are modular and configured to detach.

A method of processing a substrate may include preparing the substrate, polishing the substrate, and cleaning the substrate using a double nozzle, which is configured to provide a spray and a chemical solution onto the substrate. The spray may include a deionized water, and the chemical solution may be diluted with the deionized water. The chemical solution and the spray may be spaced apart from each other by a distance of 7 cm to 12 cm.

A system having a material sensor system coupled to a material tank is provided. The material tank is configured to receive a quantity of the material and output a flow of the material. The material sensor system includes a float system coupled to an inner surface of the material tank. The float system includes a float configured float within a float cavity. The material sensor system includes a switch coupled to an outer surface of the material tank. The switch is communicatively coupled to the float system through a wall of the material tank, and the switch is configured to send one or more signals to a control system when the float engages the switch.

A liquid delivery system including a spray nozzle that includes a spray tip. The spray nozzle receives liquid via a liquid supply line. The spray tip of the spray nozzle generates an atomized liquid spray output when the liquid flowing through the spray nozzle passes through the spray tip. The spray nozzle includes a fluid control valve and a flow meter. The fluid control valve controls a flow rate of the liquid dispensed by the spray nozzle. The flow meter determines a flow rate of the liquid dispensed by the spray nozzle. The spray nozzle also includes a housing configured to retain and support the fluid control valve and the flow meter. The liquid delivery system includes a controller that provides feedback and control of the spray nozzle by receiving a flow rate signal from the flow meter and outputting a control signal to the fluid control valve.

The disclosure herein concerns a method including receiving at a computer at least one target value of a scent parameter for an environment that is remote from the computer, receiving at the computer a sensed parameter of the environment, and controlling, via the computer, diffusion of a liquid from a source of the liquid in fluid communication with at least one scent diffusion device to achieve the target value of the scent parameter, wherein controlling includes setting or adjusting an operation parameter of the at least one scent diffusion device in response to the sensed parameter.

A liquid spray gun nozzle assembly is disclosed comprising a coating liquid inlet portion comprising a liquid connector for connection to an external liquid source; a coating liquid outlet portion comprising a liquid nozzle for spraying a coating liquid fed into the nozzle assembly through the coating liquid inlet portion, the liquid nozzle being disposed along a spray axis; a coating liquid flow path fluidly connecting the coating liquid inlet portion to the liquid nozzle; and a spray gun connection portion opposite the coating liquid outlet portion adapted to connect the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly to a compatible liquid spray gun body. The spray gun connection portion comprises a nozzle assembly sealing surface adapted to seal the liquid spray gun nozzle assembly to the compatible liquid spray gun body, the nozzle assembly sealing surface comprising first and second sealing members that are each circular and concentric with one another.

In some examples, a moveable member including multiple tools is moveable relative to a fixed member to position a selected tool for performing an operation. A first connector half may be included on the fixed member for connecting to one of a plurality of second connector halves included on the moveable member. Movement of the moveable member to position the selected tool for performing the operation moves a respective second connector half associated with the selected tool into connection with the first connector half. In addition, a respective nozzle assembly may be associated with each tool. The respective nozzle assembly may receive multiple fluids including at least one fluid received through the connection between the connector halves. The nozzle assembly includes an inner nozzle that outputs a gas and an annular outer nozzle that outputs a machining liquid to generate a mixture to direct toward a tool-workpiece interface.

A method of controlling a concentration or range of concentrations of a liquid or gas in an enclosure is provided. The method includes positioning an injection station within the enclosure, the injection station includes a liquid or gas source, a sprayer assembly and a system that delivers the liquid or gas from the liquid or gas source to the sprayer assembly. A concentration level of the liquid or gas in the environment surrounding the injection station is monitored using a sensor and the sensor providing a signal indicative of the concentration level to a controller. The controller controls the flow of the liquid or gas to the sprayer assembly based on the signal.

The disclosure herein concerns a method including receiving at a computer at least one target value of a scent parameter for an environment that is remote from the computer, receiving at the computer a sensed parameter of the environment, and controlling, via the computer, diffusion of a liquid from a source of the liquid in fluid communication with at least one scent diffusion device to achieve the target value of the scent parameter, wherein controlling includes setting or adjusting an operation parameter of the at least one scent diffusion device in response to the sensed parameter.
