A fluid dispensing system for a robotic repair unit that includes a fluid container. The system also includes a fluid dispenser associated with a robotic repair unit. The system also contains a fluid coupler that connects the polish container to the polish dispenser. The system also contains a mounting mechanism configured to couple the polish container to a robotic repair unit.

A fragrance diffuser vase is provided that has variable fan speeds and that separates the plant or flowers from the diffuser while allowing for the unenclosed display of the plant or flowers. Methods of using the fragrance diffuser vase to disperse a scent are also provided.

A system for applying an adhesive includes an air flow path for conveying compressed air and an adhesive flow path for conveying liquid adhesive. The system includes an air heater coupled to the air flow path and configured to heat the compressed air and a liquid adhesive heater coupled to the adhesive flow path and configured to heat the liquid adhesive. The system also includes an applicator positioned downstream from the air and liquid adhesive heaters. The applicator is configured to receive the liquid adhesive from the adhesive flow path and the compressed air from the air flow path. The applicator is further configured to spray the liquid adhesive from the applicator using the compressed air.

Delivering a payload across a plasma membrane of a cell includes providing a population of cells and contacting the population of cells with a volume of an aqueous solution. The aqueous solution includes the payload and alcohol content greater than 5 percent concentration. The volume of the aqueous solution may be a function of exposed surface area of the population of cells, or may be a function of a number of cells in the population of cells. Related compositions, apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

System and method for removing scale of a sewer pipe using microbial mist type spray, the system including a microbe storage tank to store liquid microbes; a chamber connected with the microbe storage tank through an injection pipe and supplied with a determined, metered amount of liquid microbes, if needing to spray liquid microbes into the sewer pipe; a metering pump provided on one side of the injection pipe, to supply power for injecting a metered amount of liquid microbes into the chamber; an air tank to store compressed air; a supply pipe to supply compressed air into the chamber when the liquid microbes are sprayed; a supply tube to allow liquid microbes having air cavities resulting from supply of the compressed air to flow; and a spray nozzle provided at an end of the supply tube, to spray liquid microbes in a mist form into the sewer pipe.

Disclosed is a hand piece for an aesthetic and medical device including a first body portion having a cylindrical structure in which a cartridge mounting space a second body portion bound to a lower side of the first body portion and having a cylindrical structure having an upper side on which an air pressure providing portion configured to provide air pressure to the cartridge-mounting space and the auxiliary air flow paths is mounted and a spray head portion bound to an upper body of the first body portion and having a central part on which a spray needle bound to an upper body of the cartridge to upwardly spray the liquid cosmetic product or liquid medication accommodated in the cartridge is mounted.

A method of using a system to apply liquid over a selected area includes providing a source of liquid, a first tube for transporting liquid from the source through the system, a connector, a check valve and a spray device. The connector includes a projection extending into the first tube. The projection has an inlet in fluid communication with the first tube. The connector further includes an outlet and a passageway in fluid communication with the inlet of the projection and the outlet of the connector. The check valve has an inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the connector and an outlet. The check valve is operable to permit the passage of liquid from the inlet to the outlet upon pressurization of the liquid above a threshold pressurization level. The method includes the steps of introducing an amount of liquid to be applied to the selected area from the source of liquid to the first tube at a pressure below the threshold pressurization level of the check valve and providing pressurized liquid through the first tube to pressurize the liquid in the first tube above the threshold pressurization level of the check valve, thereby transporting liquid from the first tube, through the connector and the check valve and through the spray device in response to pressurization of the liquid. The liquid may be ozonated water.

An aerosol device having a bowl with a bottom defining a drain, and a side wall extending from the bottom to a rim. A nozzle is disposed within the bowl. The nozzle defines a chamber and an outlet orifice directed toward the side wall of the bowl. The aerosol device includes a liquid container fluidly coupled to the nozzle via a first conduit having an outlet tip disposed within the chamber of the nozzle and a second conduit connecting a source of pressurized gas to the chamber of the nozzle. The outlet tip is in the form of a tube defining elongated slots communicating from inside the tube to outside the tube, the slots each having a width defined between two parallel tube surfaces. The aerosol device generates submicron liquid droplets, and is suitable for disinfecting porous articles in an enclosed volume.
