A fluid dispenser system is disclosed herein that is configured to switch between an open position in which fluid flows through a fluid channel and a closed position in which fluid is prevented from flowing through the fluid channel. The fluid dispenser system includes a valve disposed along the fluid channel and configured to move between the open valve position and the closed valve position, a trigger actuatable between an open trigger position and a closed trigger position which move the valve between the open valve position and the closed valve position, a trigger latch configured to move between a latched position in which the trigger latch fixes the trigger in the open trigger position and an unlatched position in which the trigger latch does not constrain movement of the trigger, and a solenoid with a solenoid pin. The solenoid is configured to translate the solenoid pin between an extended position capable of retaining the trigger latch in the latched position and a retracted position that allows the trigger latch to move into the unlatched position.

The invention relates to an ultrasonic mist inhaler (100), comprising: —a mouthpiece (1) for inhaling the mist, —a liquid reservoir structure (2) comprising a liquid chamber (21) adapted to receive liquid to be atomized, —a sonication chamber (22) in fluid communication with the liquid chamber (21), wherein at least part of the liquid reservoir structure (2) and the mouthpiece (1) form the sonication chamber (22).

A curable composition for mechanical foaming has a complex viscosity η* that satisfies the following conditions (A) and (B) in frequency dependence measurement by a rheometer: condition (A): η* at 0.1 Hz and 25° C. is in a range of 1000 to 50000 Pa.Math.s; and condition (B): η* at 10.0 Hz and 25° C. is in a range of 100 to 1000 Pa.Math.s.
The curing form of the curable composition for mechanical foaming is not a moisture curing form.

A work machine can include a frame; a spray system couple to the frame and including a spray bar having a plurality of nozzles; a pressure sensor to detect a pressure of a liquid within the spray bar; and a controller to determine whether the detected pressure of the liquid within the spray bar has exceeded a pre-determined pressure threshold.

A spray gun has at least one air valve that can be actuated by at least one trigger, having at least one valve inlet region and at least one valve outlet region. The spray gun has at least one material valve designed in such a way that it can be pneumatically actuated by air from the at least one valve outlet region. With this design, the force to be exerted to actuate the actuation element by the user of the spray gun is significantly lower than in prior spray guns, which allows for effortless operation.

A powdery-material mixing and feeding system is configured to feed a machine configured to execute a post process with mixed-powdery materials obtained by mixing a first powdery material and a second powdery material discharged from powdery-material feeding devices at a required ratio, wherein when a flow rate of the first powdery material discharged from the first powdery-material feeding device departs from a target value by a predetermined amount or more, a controller increases or decreases the flow rate of the second powdery material discharged from the second powdery-material feeding device such that the ratio of the first powdery material to the second powdery material contained in the mixed-powdery materials is kept within a desired range.

A paint sprayer including a base and a plurality of components mounted on the base, including a gun mounted on the base, a head mounted on the gun and a nozzle mounted on the head, wherein the paint sprayer further includes at least one sensor.

The invention is intended for the organization of an automated process for spraying of liquid means of chemical treatment from unmanned vehicles, for example, in precise farming systems. The use of a replaceable, marked and hermetically sealed liquid subsystem in the spray device of the invention, along with an integrated self-diagnosis system, using compressed gas energy and a pressure regulator instead of standard pumps, reduces the weight of the spraying device, improves spraying accuracy, ensures personnel safety and accounting of the accumulated life resource of the main units of spraying devices. All this in combination enables to create fully automated spraying systems.

Monitoring systems for center pivot irrigation systems and methods of irrigating an agricultural crop using the irrigation systems are provided. The irrigation systems may comprise a plurality of in-canopy sprinklers. The monitoring systems are configured to detect an operational condition of the plurality of in-canopy sprinklers, including whether individual sprinkler heads have become detached from the irrigation system main line, or whether an individual sprinkler head has become clogged, and alert an operator with a time and/or location of the occurrence of an event associated with one or more of the sprinklers.

A wastewater spray distribution apparatus is operative to distribute wastewater produced by a sewage treatment system (10) onto a ground level (22) through operation of sprayers (118, 260). The exemplary sprayers include a manifold (142, 262) that includes outlet nozzles (158, 264) that can be readily removed and replaced. The exemplary manifold further includes interior areas bounded by surfaces that slope continuously downward from the outlet nozzles to the manifold inlet to assure the draining of water therefrom. Each of the nozzles include a base (140) which includes brake (207). A brake is provided in each nozzle and is adjustable to provide brake force to limit rotational movement produced by the thrust of water passing from the outlet nozzles to assure that the sprayer operates at the appropriate rotational speed. Alternative arrangements include manifolds including fixed or adjustable flaps and radially outwardly adjustable arms to adjust rotational properties.
