Systems apply a material (e.g., adhesive) to an article (e.g., a component in an article of footwear) with a multiple-nozzle tool. A first nozzle of the multiple-nozzle tool is effective to provide an edge application of the material that is consistent in application of the material. A second nozzle of the multiple-nozzle tool is effective to provide a greater material coverage application than the first nozzle. The second nozzle may be implemented to apply the material at an interior area from the edge at which the first nozzle applies the material, in an exemplary aspect.

A system includes a material sensor system having an inlet and an outlet. The inlet receives a flow of a material and the outlet outputs the flow of the material. The material sensor system includes an inner cavity having a surface, where the inner cavity receives the flow of the material. The material sensor system also includes a float system having one or more floats, where the one or more floats float within the material of the inner cavity. The material sensor system also includes a switch that sends one or more signals to a control valve system when the float system engages the surface of the inner cavity.

Disclosed is a filter regenerating apparatus of a denitrification facility, the apparatus including: a body module disposed above a filter installed in the denitrification facility, and capable of reciprocating in a first direction; a nozzle support module supported by the body module, and capable of reciprocating in a second direction crossing the first direction; a coating material spray nozzle detachable from the nozzle support module, and capable of spraying a coating material toward the filter disposed below; and a power control module configured to control operations of the body module and the nozzle support module so that the coating material spray nozzle is transferred along the filter in the first and second directions.

This disclosure provides an improved nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly includes a spray element for jetting media through an outlet (e.g. onto a surface), an active conduit for supplying a first media to the spray element, and a passive conduit for supplying a feed of a second media to the spray element. The spray element includes an eductor that is actively fed with a pressurized stream of the first media (i.e., motive fluid) via an annular injection port coupled to the active conduit, and passively fed by the second media via an intake duct disposed cen-trally within the injection port. The eductor utilizes the Venturi effect to efficiently prepare a homogenized media jet from the two different media feeds. A system comprising the nozzle assembly, and methods of using each of the same, are also disclosed.

A device for coating a cylinder includes a coating head capable of being inserted into the cylinder, a plurality of coating guns which are provided on the coating head and are configured to discharge a coating material in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the coating head, and a rotating cover which, when the coating material is discharged from one of a first coating gun and a second coating gun among the plurality of coating guns, is configured to cover the other of the first coating gun and the second coating gun, in which the plurality of coating guns are connected to coating material supply devices of different systems, respectively.

An apparatus for manufacturing golf balls each having an exterior pattern includes a conveying device and a spraying device. The spraying device is disposed at one side of a first processing area. The conveying device is configured to convey a ball-shaped body into the first processing area along a predetermined path, and to rotate the ball-shaped body at a predetermined speed. The spraying device includes a first sprayer and a second sprayer. The first sprayer and the second sprayer are configured to apply a color paint to the ball-shaped body from each of an upper position and a lower position.

An aerosol delivery system includes a perforate membrane comprising a plurality of apertures, as well as a fluid reservoir reservoir in fluid communication with a first side of the perforate membrane and actuation means configured to vibrate the perforate membrane to cause a liquid in the fluid reservoir during use to be ejected as liquid droplets from a second side of the perforate membrane. The plurality of apertures comprises first and second arrays of apertures of first and second configurations which are grouped together in first and second discrete regions of the perforate membrane. The fluid reservoir includes first and second reservoir portions and a liquid barrier by which the first and second reservoir portions are separated. A removable cartridge for an aerosol delivery system.

In one aspect, provided is a liquid diffuser comprising a base, a cover and at least one duct. According to another aspect, provided is a liquid diffuser system comprising an electronic device and at least one liquid diffuser. Other example embodiments are also described. In certain embodiments, the liquid diffusers allow easy, single-hand manageable, leakage-proof and hygienic replacement of the liquid containers. In certain embodiments, the liquid diffusers provides a smart system to manage or control the time for diffusion and the type of liquid to be used in response to user's requirement and/or data collected from the environment.

A coating composition for application to a substrate utilizing a high transfer efficiency applicator. The coating composition includes a carrier, a binder, a corrosion inhibiting pigment. The coating composition has an Ohnesorge number (Oh) of from about 0.01 to about 12.6. The coating composition has a Reynolds number (Re) of from about 0.02 to about 6,200. The coating composition has a Deborah number (De) of from greater than 0 to about 1730.

A system for applying a coating composition to a substrate utilizing a high transfer efficiency applicator is provided herein. The system includes a high transfer efficiency applicator defining a nozzle orifice. The coating composition comprises a carrier and a binder. The coating composition has a viscosity of from about 0.002 Pa*s to about 0.2 Pa*s, a density of from about 838 kg/m3 to about 1557 kg/m3, a surface tension of from about 0.015 N/m to about 0.05 N/m, and a relaxation time of from about 0.0005 s to about 0.02 s. The high transfer efficiency applicator is configured to expel the coating composition through the nozzle orifice to the substrate to form a coating layer. At least 80% of the droplets of the coating composition expelled from the high transfer efficiency applicator contact the substrate.
