A filling adapter for a container to be filled with media, in particular for the filling of containers on assembly lines for the production of motor vehicles where the filling adapter is equipped with a hose pack, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines. An electronic assembly (ID chip) for a maintenance check is integrated in the adapter head of the filling adapter, which assembly detects the number of use cycles of the filling adapter and compares said number with parameters which can be set in advance in such a way that when said parameters are approached, at least one prior warning is triggered, and when said parameters are reached, an associated controller is informed about the maintenance which is now due.

A filling system includes a pipe, a restricting member, a detector, and an actuator. The restricting member is disposed in the pipe to restrict insertion of an object into the pipe. The detector is configured to detect the presence of a metal nozzle in the pipe. The actuator is configured to move the restricting member to enable access through the pipe.

A dispensing unit is provided having a circulation system for circulating a fluid in the dispensing unit is provided. The circulation system can include a circulation circuit, and a mechanism configured to circulate the fluid in the circulation circuit. By circulating the fluid, the fluid is counteracted from crystallizing. A method for circulating a fluid in a dispensing unit is also provided.

An apparatus for manual transfer of a viscous fluid such as essential oil or wax comprises a tip having a depression to accommodate an amount of the viscous fluid and a brim to cause a break in a vapor trail when the amount of viscous fluid is being placed on a heated surface and becomes vaporized; a cap that fits over the tip to prevent unwanted transfer of any remaining viscous fluid to surroundings when the tool resting on a surface; and a handle to allow a user to hold the without contacting the tip.

The present invention relates to a kit of parts (1), comprising plurality of hose connection parts (2,3) selectable from, first hose connection parts (2) comprising one fluid inlet (5) and one fluid outlet (8), second hose connection parts (3) comprising two fluid inlets (7,8) and one fluid outlet (9), and third hose connection parts comprising three fluid inlets and one fluid outlet, which kit of parts (1) is suitable for assembly a hose connection (61,82,83,64) having at least a first and second fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, according to any one of three configurations. The invention also relates to a fuel dispensing unit (85) for refueling vehicles and a method for assembly a hose connection.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for apparatus used to detect clogs in a fluid delivery system during CMP processes and methods of detecting clogs in a fluid delivery system during CMP processes. In particular, embodiments herein provide a flow splitter manifold configured to enable monitoring of the pressure of the polishing fluid disposed therein. Monitoring the fluid pressure in the flow splitter manifold enables the detection of clogs in the delivery lines and/or dispense nozzles that inhibit and/or prevent the flow of polishing fluid therethrough or therefrom.
