The present invention relates to an aerosol device comprising: —a container containing a cosmetic composition which comprises one or more powders in a content of less than 7% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and—a dispensing head comprising a body and an end part comprising at least two outlet orifices configured to allow spraying of the composition about a longitudinal axis of the end part in at least two different directions, the dispensing head comprising at least first and second chambers, through which the composition stream successively passes before it exits via the outlet orifices.

The present invention is directed to improvements related to the generation of aerosols and outlines an apparatus and methods which supports deagglomeration and counteracts reagglomeration of aerosol particles. The apparatus is provided with an arrangement of inlet conduits for pressurized gas that promote transportation with a rotational flow towards an exit conduit. In order to further support production of high quality aerosols, the apparatus can be provided with an impactor aligned with the exit conduit with at least one impacting surface that minimizes formation of impact residues.

A method and apparatus produce an enhanced blast stream which may be directed at a workpiece. The enhanced blast stream has higher energy allowing the blast stream to remove difficult to remove coatings from substrates. A heated flow is combined with an entrained particle flow and expelled through a nozzle. The heated flow results in more energy being imparted to the coating.

a blast nozzle is provided that has a conduit through it for accelerating air applied to the blast nozzle at pressure greater than ambient pressure. The air contains abrasive particles for abrading or “blasting” a workpiece. The conduit includes an inlet portion that converges from an inlet opening for receiving the air, to a throat for accelerating the air to a sonic speed. The conduit also includes an outlet portion that extends from the throat to a nozzle outlet for accelerating the air from the throat to a super-sonic speed at the nozzle outlet. A ratio of area of the nozzle outlet to area of the throat is selected for expansion of the air through the conduit so that air is emitted from the nozzle outlet in a jet at an ambient pressure. The jet imparts drag on the abrasive particles between the nozzle outlet and the workpiece which has been found to improve abrading of the workpiece by the abrasive particles.

The present disclosure relates generally to loose fill insulation installation systems, for example, suitable for installing loose fill insulation to an installation site. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a loose fill insulation hose including a plurality of tubular sections coupled together so as to form a conduit configured to convey loose fill insulation along a path from a blowing machine to an installation site. The tubular sections include a first hose section, a first connector section, and a second connector section. The first hose section includes a flexible body that forms an opening with a first cross-sectional area. The first connector section includes a plurality of projections that extend inward. The second connector section includes a constricted opening with a second cross-sectional area that is no more than 50% of the first cross-sectional area.

Described herein, are methods for providing a protective coating to a storage container for storing nuclear material, the method comprising depositing nickel particles on at least one surface of the substrate to produce the protective coating, wherein the nickel particles are deposited by cold spraying a composition comprising nickel particles and a carrier gas comprising nitrogen. In one aspect, the carrier gas consists essentially or consists only of nitrogen. The methods do not require pretreatment or modification of the nickel particles prior to cold spraying, which makes the methods described herein economically practical. The coatings produced by the methods described herein possess several advantageous properties including, but not limited to, high adhesion strength to the storage system and low porosity. The coatings produced by the methods described herein are effective against chemical attack such as, for example, CISCC.

Cold-spray nozzles, systems, and techniques are described herein related to manufacturing implementations of efficient film deposition. A deposition system includes multiple feed systems to deliver solid powder materials at controlled feed rates and temperatures, and a nozzle, including convergent and divergent sections and connections to the feed systems, to receive a carrier fluid in the convergent section and to spray the carrier fluid and the solid powder materials out of the divergent section. A nozzle includes multiple ports to receive solid powder materials for admission into a carrier fluid, with one or more ports in the convergent section and one or more ports in the divergent section. A method may include delivering a carrier fluid to a nozzle, heating multiple solid powder materials, delivering these solid powder materials to the nozzle, and spraying the solid powder materials out of a divergent section of the nozzle.

An agricultural product delivery applicator for delivering particulate product to a field. The applicator includes a supply compartment to hold the product and a pneumatic conveying system. The system includes an airflow source to provide an airflow, and a delivery line operably connected to the airflow source and to the supply compartment. The delivery line includes a supply line and a plurality of distribution lines. The system further includes a distributor coupling the supply line with the plurality of distribution lines, a plurality of distributor outlets providing outlet channels for the distributor, and a motor mount disposed away from the aperture along an axis and supported by one or more of the plurality of distributor outlets. A motor is disposed on a delivery lines side of the distributor and fastened to the motor mount.

The present invention generally relates to an electrostatic coating system for spraying a stream of particles onto a medium, and in particular to a system comprising one or more apparatuses equipped with a powder coating suspension device. What is also contemplated is the use of a powder management system configured to supply predetermined powdered and air mixtures to the apparatus and a controller configured to adjust parameters of operation of both the apparatus and the powder management system. The present disclosure relates to an in-line industrial device able to coat paint, starch, thermoplastic materials, or any other powder material onto a medium by successively controlling a plurality of parameters.

The disclosure relates to a coating apparatus for applying a layer of particles to a receiving surface. The apparatus comprises a pressurized air source, an application chamber partially bounded by the receiving surface into which an air stream is delivered by the air source, an air return path for returning air from the application chamber to an intake of the air source to form an air circulation loop, a dosing device for introducing particles to be coated onto the receiving surface into the air circulation loop, and a controller serving to regulate the dosing device so as to maintain the particle concentration within predetermined limits. A method of applying a layer of particles is also provided, as well as printing systems benefiting from the present coating apparatus.
