A nebulizer has an aperture plate, a mounting, an actuator, and an aperture plate drive circuit (2-4). A controller measures an electrical drive parameter at each of a plurality of measuring points, each measuring point having a drive frequency; and based on the values of the parameter at the measuring points makes a determination of optimum drive frequency and also an end-of-dose prediction. The controller performs a short scan at regular sub-second intervals at which drive current is measured at two measuring points with different drive frequencies. According to drive parameter measurements at these points the controller determines if a full scan sweeping across a larger number of measuring points should be performed. The full scan provides the optimum drive frequency for the device and also an end of dose indication.

A spray system for spraying a fluid, the spray system including a tank for holding the fluid; and a sprayer including a fluid conductor, a fluid mover, at least one first nozzle and a second nozzle, the fluid conductor including an inner diameter, a first end configured to be connected to the tank, a second end configured to be selectively connected to one of the at least one first nozzle and a second nozzle, wherein the second nozzle including a through opening at least about the same size as the inner diameter, wherein the fluid mover is configured to draw the fluid from the tank through one of the at least one first nozzle to create a spray of the fluid and the second nozzle to return at least a portion of the fluid to a storage tank.

A method of filling a fluid dispenser is provided and a method for operating power driven pump in a dispenser is provided.

An autonomous device for the vaporization and dispersal of a sanitizing agent adapted for the use in closed structures such as rooms, vehicles, trash bins, dumpsters, and other containers.

A humidifier includes a container for containing a fluid; a cartridge for nebulizing the fluid, the cartridge configured to be fixed inside the container, the cartridge including a cartridge housing including a bottom side that is configured to contact a bottom of the container, a top side opposite to the bottom side; a back side; a front side; a left side; and a right side; and a handle on the top side of the cartridge housing, the handle projecting upward and away from the cartridge housing.

A product system for an agricultural sprayer includes a product tank configured to store an agricultural product. A reclaim system can be configured to provide the agricultural product within a flow assembly to a product tank. A computing system can be communicatively coupled to the reclaim system. The computing system can be configured to receive information indicative of one or more characteristics of the agricultural product inputted into the fill station during a fill mode; detect termination of the fill mode; and activate a reclaim mode to move the agricultural product from the flow assembly to the product tank through activation of the reclaim system, wherein one or more operating conditions of the reclaim mode are based on the one or more characteristics of the agricultural product.

An agricultural method for preventing roll-back of an agricultural vehicle may include receiving a roll-back prevention input from a speed setting device indicative of a command to increase the transmission speed of the hydrostatic transmission while a service brake of the agricultural vehicle is engaged. Further, the method may include adjusting a speed mapping for the speed setting device from a predetermined speed mapping to a roll-back speed mapping in response to the roll-back prevention input, with the roll-back speed mapping being associated with a reduced speed range. Additionally, the method may include determining a transmission control command associated with a current position of the speed setting device based on the roll-back speed mapping and controlling an operation of the hydrostatic transmission to adjust the transmission speed based at least in part on the transmission control command.

Afforded is a spraying apparatus that enables the large-volume generation of fine particles having particle diameters minute to a level that can give rise to Brownian motion. A spraying apparatus of the present invention is furnished with: an atomization tank 11 enabled for storing a liquid formulation; an atomizing device 12 being ultrasonic vibration elements arranged in the atomization tank interior, for atomizing the liquid formulation to generate fine particles; a blower 13 furnished with a blower element enabled for maintaining predetermined rpm, for blasting into the atomization tank interior, through a blow port 11b provided in the atomization tank, conveyance air that is for conveying the fine particles of the liquid formulation; a send-out port 11c, provided in the atomization tank, through which the fine particles are sent out together with the conveyance air; and a baffle plate 14a arranged in the atomization tank interior so as to receive liquid columns of the liquid formulation, produced by the ultrasonic vibration elements; wherein the baffle plate and the send-out port are arranged so that conveyance air supplied through the blow port goes through a gap between one end part 14ae of the baffle plate 14a and the atomization tank, winds in along the surface on the plate's liquid-column receiving side and then arrives at the send-out port.
