A method for painting a skin component of a vehicle includes conveying the skin component along a conveying direction. The method further includes controlling first and second painting robots by a control installation such that a first spraying tool of the first painting robot applies a first paint of a first color in a first sub-region and a second spraying tool of the second painting robot applies a second paint of a second color in a second sub-region, where in an overlap region within which the first sub-region overlaps the second sub-region, the first paint is applied over the second paint such that a quantity of the first paint is kept constant perpendicular to a painting direction and is reduced along the painting direction such that a color gradient from the first color to the second color is formed in the overlap region.

A system for applying a coating composition is provided herein. The system includes a first high transfer efficiency applicator defining a first nozzle orifice and a second high transfer efficiency applicator defining a second nozzle orifice. The system further includes a reservoir. The system further includes a substrate defining a first target area and a second target area. The first high transfer efficiency applicator and the second high transfer efficiency applicator are configured to receive the coating composition from the reservoir and configured to expel the coating composition through the first nozzle orifice to the first target area of the substrate and to expel the coating composition through the second nozzle orifice to the second target area of the substrate.

An apparatus for spraying fluid phase color is integrated into a cladding manufacturing machine and synchronized with the manufacturing process. The apparatus is attached to the basket through which the concrete of the claddings is poured into a mould; color spraying initiates after completing the concrete filling phase of the manufacturing of the cladding and the basket retreats to its starting point. Color guns, attached to the basket, connect to color buckets and pump and condensed air pumps to deliver sprayed fluid color onto the top surface of the claddings. A control unit controls the color spraying via a sequential, parallel or pre-selected program or set of values of parameters that determine the final design or pattern on the claddings surface.

A dry fogging system includes a control device including a control device inlet configured to couple to a gas source, a first control device outlet, and a second control device outlet configured to couple to a first tank. The dry fogging system further includes a first spray device including a first spray device inlet configured to couple to the first tank, a second spray device inlet configured to couple to the first control device outlet, and a spray device outlet configured to provide dry fogging.

A discharge container 1 includes a container body having a discharge face 13, on which a discharge hole 15 is formed, a cylinder part including a discharge space 2 in communication with the discharge hole 15 inside the container body, a piston 3 movable between a first position and a second position, the second position being farther than the first position from the discharge face in the discharge space 2, and a plurality of storage portions 5a to 5e for storing contents, wherein a plurality of inlet holes respectively corresponding to the plurality of storage portions 5a to 5e are formed in an inner wall of the discharge space 2, wherein, when the piston 3 is at the second position, the plurality of inlet holes 22a to 22e communicate with the discharge space 2 between a top face of the piston 3 and the discharge face, and the contents are ready to flow into the discharge space 2 from the plurality of inlet holes 22a to 22e, and wherein, when the piston 3 is at the first position, the plurality of inlet holes 22a to 22e are closed by the piston 3.

A flying object includes: a flying object body; a blade that enables the flying object body to fly; a paint ejection mechanism that ejects paint in a first direction; and a fluid ejection mechanism that ejects a fluid in a second direction differing from the first direction by 90 degrees or more.

A liquid droplet ejection device includes at least one first liquid droplet ejection unit including a first liquid holding unit and a first tip, the first tip to eject the first liquid in the first liquid holding unit as a first liquid droplet onto an object; at least one second liquid droplet ejection unit including a second liquid holding unit and a second tip, the second tip to eject the second liquid in the second liquid holding unit as a second liquid droplet onto the object; an object holding unit to hold the object; and a driving unit to move the first tip and the second tip in a first direction. An inner diameter of the second tip is larger than an inner diameter of the first tip. The first tip and the second tip are arranged along the first direction. The second tip is arranged behind the first tip.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for dispensing a mixture of at least two liquid components. The apparatus may comprise an A liquid component source fluidly connected with an A liquid component pump driven by a first motor; and a B liquid component source fluidly connected with a B liquid component pump driven by the first motor. Each of the A liquid component pump and the B liquid component pump may comprise at least two chambers. The A liquid component pump and the B liquid component pump may be fluidly connected with a dispenser unit. There may be one or more A liquid temperature regulators between the A liquid component pump and the dispenser unit. Similarly, there may be one or more B liquid temperature regulators between the B liquid component pump and the dispenser unit.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for delivering droplets of fluids onto an open tray (15) containing poultry. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a stationary working surface, a single arm (16) supporting a plurality of fluid dispensing nozzles, a drive unit for driving the translation of said arm (16), said plurality of dispensing nozzles being connected to at least one fluid supply circuit comprising a fluid reservoir and a pumping unit, a control unit configured to control the drive unit of the arm and to define at least one duration T of travel of the arm (16) above said working surface. The travel time T includes a period of gradual acceleration of said arm (16) outside an area of said working surface occupied by said tray and bringing said arm to a first end of said tray (15) along the first direction at a travel velocity V, a period of constant velocity V when the arm (16) moves above said tray (15), and a period of gradual deceleration of said arm (16) when the latter has passed a second end of the tray (15) along the first direction. The control unit is also configured to control each pumping unit and activate each pumping unit only when said arm is above said tray.
