Systems and methods for monitoring a level of hydraulic fluid in an agricultural sprayer
In one aspect, a system for monitoring a level of hydraulic fluid in an agricultural sprayer includes a drive system, a hydraulic fluid system, and a fill level sensor. The system also includes a computing system communicatively coupled to both the drive system and the fill level sensor. The computing system is configured to monitor the level of hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic fluid reservoir based on data received from the fill level sensor. The computing system is further configured to detect a leak condition in the hydraulic fluid system based at least in part on the monitored level of the hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic fluid reservoir and control an operation of the drive system to reduce the ground speed of the agricultural sprayer in response to detecting the leak condition.
Spray nozzle for attemperators and attemperator including the same
Disclosed herein are a spray nozzle for an attemperator and an attemperator including the spray nozzle. An attemperator according to an embodiment includes: a steam transfer pipe through which steam is transferred; a fixed pipe which is fixed to an outer surface of the steam transfer pipe; and a spray nozzle, which is coupled to the fixed pipe, disposed in the steam transfer pipe and configured to spray cooling water into the steam transfer pipe. The spray nozzle includes, on an outer circumferential surface thereof, at least one support that protrudes toward the fixed pipe. The spray nozzle is spaced apart from the fixed pipe.
Handheld pet spray wand
A handheld pet spray wand may be configured for use in washing or bathing a pet, for example, a dog. The handheld pet spray wand may be configured for attachment to a hose that is further attached to a water supply source. The handheld pet spray wand may be operable to have a number of spray modes to assist in the cleaning of the pet. The handheld pet spray wand may further be configured to provide selective nozzle array sizes designed for both small and large pets. The form factor of the spray wand may further be ergonomically formed to provide a spray pattern conforming to the body of the pet.
AGRICULTURAL SPRAYER WITH AUXILIARY OPERATION CONTROL
An agricultural sprayer includes a hydrostatic drive system configured to rotationally drive at least some of the plurality of wheels, with the hydrostatic drive system including a hydrostatic pump. Furthermore, the sprayer includes an agricultural fluid supply system configured to supply agricultural fluid to nozzles on the sprayer, with the agricultural fluid supply system including a supply pump and a plurality of supply valves. Additionally, the sprayer includes an operator input device configured to receive to an input indicative of halting auxiliary operation of the agricultural sprayer. As such, a computing system is configured to receive the input from the operator input device. Moreover, upon receipt of the input, the computing system is configured to control an operation of the hydrostatic drive system and the agricultural fluid supply system such that the supply pump is halted, the plurality of supply valves is closed, and the hydrostatic pump is operating.
SURGICAL STERILIZATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
A method of preparing a surgical site includes the steps of: disposing a preparation material with a selected surface of a patient body, the selected surface includes a sterile region having a boundary; engaging a first applicator with the selected surface and moving the first applicator along a path from a first incision site of the selected surface to the boundary; engaging a second surgical applicator with the selected surface and moving the second applicator along a path from a second incision site of the selected surface to the boundary, the path of the first applicator intersecting the path of the second applicator. In some embodiments, surgical systems and surgical instruments are disclosed.
Mobile research sprayer
A system for spraying objects in a field, wherein the system includes a treatment hoist connectable to a mobile platform main deck. The treatment hoist includes a treatment platform that is structured and operable to support and carry at least one treatment container, and at least one lift assembly. The lift assembly is structured and operable to lower the treatment platform to a loading position and raise the treatment platform to a dispensing position. In the loading position the treatment platform is lowered such that the treatment container(s) can be secured on the treatment platform in order to configure the system to dispense a desired solution, wherein the solution comprises at least one object treatment contained in treatment container(s). In the dispensing position the treatment platform is raised to a height above the objects in order for the system to dispense the solution onto the objects.
Float sprayer system
A float sprayer system for efficiently dispensing a fluid from a float to treat a curing material. The float sprayer system generally includes a float for smoothing a curing material and at least one sprayer on the float; with the at least one sprayer being adapted to dispense a fluid from the float. A pump is fluidly connected to the at least one sprayer by a conduit which extends through a handle that is connected to the float. The pump is adapted to transfer the fluid from the fluid source through the conduit to be dispensed by the at least one sprayer on the float. A valve on the handle may be utilized to control flow through the conduit within the handle, and a mobile device may be utilized to control the pump.
Method for distributing glue on tubular cardboard cores in rewinding machines
Method for applying glue on tubular cores for the production of logs of paper material comprising the step of supplying in sequence more tubular cores (1) along a predetermined advancing direction (A) and the step of applying on each of said cores (1) a predetermined amount of glue, and the glue is applied on the tubular cores (1) from the above. While advancing along said direction (A) and without interrupting their run, the tubular cores (1) intercept for a predetermined time the glue (EG) released by a predetermined number of nozzles (114); and during said time interval the glue (EG) is both on the nozzles (114) and the tubular cores (1) given the absence of any element interposed between the nozzles and the tubular cores.
Fluid ejection device
The fluid-ejection device (100) comprised a first member (110) having an inlet suitable for being connected to a source of fluid (120); a second member (130) that can be moved relative to the first member (110); and a control member (150) arranged to be at least in a first condition, in which the control member (150) is at least substantially inside the second member (130) preventing the flow of fluid through the second member (130) to define a first stroke (S1) of the second member (130) where no discharge of fluid is allowed out of the device (100); and a second condition, in which the control member (150) is at least substantially outside the second member (130) allowing the flow of fluid through the second member (130) to define a second stroke (S2) of the second member (130) along which discharge of fluid is allowed out of the device (100).
