An apparatus and method for simulating the effects of dew are disclosed. The apparatus includes a moveable platform; a rotatable base, the rotatable base being connected to the platform; and a plurality of elongated rods for penetrating and spraying beneath the surface of a windrow. The rods radiate from a longitudinal axis of the rotatable base.

A liquid coating apparatus includes a liquid chamber, a diaphragm deformable to change a volume of the liquid chamber, a piezoelectric element that deforms the diaphragm in a thickness direction, a pressurized casing bottom-wall portion between the piezoelectric element and the diaphragm to support the piezoelectric element from a diaphragm side, a fixed casing bottom wall portion that supports an end of the piezoelectric element on a side opposite to the diaphragm, a plunger that extends through the pressurized casing bottom-wall portion and transmits expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric element to the diaphragm, and a coil spring that is between the piezoelectric element and the pressurized casing bottom-wall portion and is supported by the first support portion to apply a compressive force to the piezoelectric element.

A high-pressured rinsing system comprises a base including a liquid reservoir, a rotation motor housing including a rotation motor adapted to rotate a spray wand attached, and extending vertically upward from, the rotation motor housing and base, a linear rail support frame attached the base and including a vertical motor and associated linear rail attached thereto, a cavity mounting plate attached to the linear rail, wherein vertical movement of the linear rail causes vertical movement of the cavity mounting plate over the base; and at least one door and a plurality of side panels mounting to an enclosure support frame, wherein the enclosure support frame is mounted and secured to the linear rail support frame and base to create an enclosure around the spray wand and linear rail.

A painting robot includes a painting head mounted on the tip end side of a robot arm, a coating material supply passage connected to the coating material supply side of the painting head, a return flow passage which recovers coating material that was not ejected from the nozzles, and a bypass flow passage that is provided in the robot arm and allows coating material to flow through in parallel to the painting head. The painting robot further includes a shutoff valve, a control unit which controls the opening and closing of the shutoff valve, and a first air bubble removal member and second air bubble removal member which are provided in a stable part of the robot arm.

A solenoid valve in a manifold is commanded to move to a closed position. Upon activating a pump to supply fluid to the manifold via a supply line, a first pressure is determined in the supply line after commanding the solenoid valve to move to the closed position. Upon deactivating the pump to stop supplying fluid to the manifold, a second pressure is determined in the supply line. Based on a difference between the first pressure and the second pressure, the solenoid valve is determined to be one of (a) at least partially open or (b) in the closed position.

A system and method for tagging, tracking, locating and identifying people and vehicles transporting people using Perfluorocarbon tracers. An on-going problem faced by military as well as law enforcement personnel is that of friendly fire incidents. To prevent possible friendly-fire incidents, troops would separate the two layers of the uniform patch, thereby releasing a controlled release of the Perfluorocarbon vapors. Other “friendly” troops, equipped with sensors tuned to the specific perfluorocarbon characteristics would thus be able to literally view a plume around the tagged person or object. The system may conversely be used to tag enemies. Formulations of mixed perfluorocarbons may be used to provide coding of emissions.

Portable mist dispenser systems are disclosed. One mist dispenser system includes a mister assembly (8) including at least one mister nozzle (27) configured to form a mist of water droplets. The system further includes a pump assembly (5) including a water pump configured to pump water through the mister nozzle (27) to form the mist of water droplets, a battery configured to power the water pump, and at least one magnet configured to mount the pump assembly (5) to a metal frame (12). In addition, the system includes a water reservoir (2) coupled to the pump assembly (5) to provide the water to form the mist of water droplets. Additionally or alternatively, the pump assembly (5) is coupled to the mister assembly (8) and the reservoir (2) through respective flexible tubes and includes a universal serial bus (USB) charging port configured to charge the battery.

Systems, kits, and methods for contactless application of mixed concentrates and diluents are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a system comprising a mix and storage container defining an interior and a first opening and a second opening. The first opening, the second opening and the interior are fluidly connected. Further, the system includes a connector that defines a first end, a second end, and a passageway that extends between the first end and the second end. The first end of the connector is attached to the first opening of the mix and storage container. The connector further defines an opener configured to engage and open a sealed portion of the concentrate container for release of a concentrate from within the concentrate container through the passageway and into the interior of the mix and storage container for mixing with a diluent. The system also includes an application tool.

The present invention relates to a cleaning apparatus. The cleaning apparatus according to the present invention includes a first cleaner for spraying a first detergent through a first nozzle, a second cleaner for discharging a second detergent to an outside of a second nozzle, and a vibration unit for vibrating the second cleaner when the second cleaner discharges the second detergent.

A door handle with a disinfectant function includes a liquid container containing a disinfectant liquid. The liquid container is embedded into an inner body of a door. The door handle with the disinfectant function enables to clean door handles used in public and private places such as hospitals, health care centers, public offices, schools, shopping malls, hotels, public transport, cafes and restaurants, and ensures the door handles are hygienic.
