An atomizing spray device includes a housing having plural inlets and one or more outlets fluidly coupled with each other by an interior chamber. The inlets include a first inlet shaped to receive a first fluid and a second inlet shaped to receive a slurry of ceramic particles and a second fluid. The interior chamber in the housing is shaped to mix the first fluid received via the first inlet with the slurry received via the second inlet inside the housing to form a mixture in a location between the inlets and the one or more outlets. The interior chamber in the housing also is shaped to direct the mixture formed inside the housing as droplets outside of the housing via the one or more outlets such that, based on a discharged amount of the first fluid in the droplets, the first fluid promotes evaporation of the second fluid as the droplets traverse from the housing toward a surface of a component.

A method of atomizing a liquid comprising providing the liquid to a liquid duct in a dispensing body, providing a gas to a gas duct in the dispensing body, and introducing the liquid into a head via a plurality of liquid duct channels. The method further includes introducing the gas into a pressure chamber of a pressure cap, the pressure cap positioned proximate the dispensing body such that the head is positioned between the pressure cap and the dispensing body. The gas is expelled through a plurality of pressure chamber exit orifices, the pressure chamber exit orifices positioned proximate a plurality of liquid supply channel exit openings via an alignment spacer defined on the head. The method includes expelling the liquid from the liquid supply channel exit openings and through the pressure chamber exit orifices, such that the liquid and the gas interact and form atomized droplets of the liquid.

A delivery device for an automobile trauma-reducing safety system includes a base component on which a membrane is supported deflated in an initial state prior to an automobile collision and is inflated in an activated state in response to a triggering event. A spray valve is movably coupled to the base component and is concentrically-aligned with the membrane. The spray valve includes exhaust nozzles, is in a retracted position in the initial state, and is movable towards an extended position in the activated state. A containing area stores a chemical liquid in the initial state and is formed between the spray valve and the deflated membrane. The chemical liquid is forced by the inflated membrane in the activated state to move the spray valve from the retracted position towards the extended position, the chemical liquid being expelled through the exhaust nozzles for reducing trauma to an automobile occupant.

A dual media spray nozzle assembly for cleaning an optical viewer or sensor lens is disclosed. The assembly includes two media pathways that terminate in two arrays at the target cleaning area. The nozzle arrays are coplanar. The two media may be activated sequentially or simultaneously. The assembly includes a cover, a spray element, and a media inlet body. The nozzles are formed in a curved, semi-annular opening of the spray element. The spray element includes front and back sides. Formed on the front side is a first media flow path associated with a first media inlet formed on the media inlet body. The first media flow path is associated with the first array of nozzles. Formed on the back side is a second media flow path associated with second media inlets formed on the media inlet body. The second media path is associated with the second array of nozzles.

Aspects of the invention include a nozzle assembly having a housing configured for attachment to the wall of the vessel. The housing has a proximal end portion and a distal end portion spaced from the proximal end portion along a length of the housing. The housing defines a passageway extending from the proximal end portion to the distal end portion, which is delineated by an inner surface of the housing. The nozzle assembly further includes a nozzle that has a base portion adapted for coupling to the housing, a shaft portion that extends from the base portion, and a tip portion coupled to the shaft portion of the nozzle. The tip portion defines a plurality of orifices. The nozzle also has an outer surface extending along a length of the nozzle that is spaced from the inner surface of the housing to create a gap when the nozzle is coupled to the housing.

A fluid dispenser head (T) including a spray wall (26) that is perforated with a network of holes (O) through which the fluid under pressure passes so as to be sprayed in small droplets;

the dispenser head being characterized in that the network of holes (O) comprises at least two series of holes (O), with the holes (O) of a given series presenting holes that are substantially identical in size, and with the holes (O) of different series presenting holes that are different in size, such that one series of holes (O) generates a spray of small droplets with droplet sizes that define a first Gaussian distribution, while another series of holes (O) generates a spray of small droplets with droplet sizes that define a second Gaussian distribution that is offset relative to the first Gaussian distribution, thus producing a complex spray having at least two distinct Gaussian distributions.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for identifying and quantifying chemical components in a high-melting-point liquid. One such method includes: receiving, into a nebulizer assembly, a high-melting-point liquid from a molten liquid conduit; aerosolizing, using the nebulizer assembly, at least a portion of the received high-melting-point liquid; delivering, into one or more instruments, the aerosolized high-melting-point liquid from the nebulizer; and chemically analyzing, using the one or more instruments, the aerosolized high-melting-point liquid.

A spray head assembly comprising a body configured to receive a supply of fluid and a face in fluid communication with the body, the face having a plurality of nozzles arranged in a non-linear pattern for directing the fluid from the spray head, wherein the plurality of nozzles are configured to direct the fluid flow to form a wedge-shaped spray pattern between the face and a focal region at a focal length from the spray head, and wherein the spray pattern forms a linear spray arrangement in the focal region.

The invention relates to a device for injecting a fluid, in particular a cryogenic fluid, the device comprising a fluid feed head and a fluid dispenser body, detachably mounted on said feed head, said feed head comprising a groove for circulating the fluid fed to said body, said groove being closed when the body is mounted on the feed head and said groove being open when the feed head and the body are detached from one another.

A discrete dispensed product comprising a first portion; and a second portion at least partially surrounding the first portion provides a premium and distinct appearance to consumers.
