This device comprises a control panel (23) in which said representation is digitally stored, a platen (9) of flat shape designed to accept a support, such as a sheet of paper, an airbrush printing tool (7) designed for airbrush printing (7), comprising a hopper and a reservoir (21) designed to take ash and ink that are to be mixed by the hopper, the airbrush printing tool (7) being designed to be able to create airbrush prints using the mixture contained in the reservoir and supplied by the hopper, the airbrush printing tool (7) furthermore being mounted with the ability to move relative to the platen (9) along three orthogonal axes and being numerically controlled into its positions along the three axes by the control panel (23) so as to allow the digital representation to be airbrush printed onto the support.

A substrate processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a holding unit, a nozzle, a driving unit, and a controller. The holding unit holds a substrate. The nozzle supplies a processing liquid to the substrate held on the holding unit. The driving unit moves the nozzle. The controller controls the driving unit, so as to move the nozzle while supplying the processing liquid to the substrate from the nozzle. Further, the controller controls the driving unit based on recipe information including step information including positions of first and second points above the substrate, total time for moving the nozzle between the first and second points, and a moving speed of the nozzle, so as to cause reciprocation of the nozzle.

The invention relates to a graphical application system to apply a desired pattern by multiple tiles onto a target surface. The system comprises a graphical application device comprising a base structure with a trackable optical feature, at least one nozzle for expelling paint, a driving unit for positioning the nozzle and a local camera for a local referencing of the nozzle. A controller controls the driving unit and the expelling of the nozzle to achieve an application of the desired pattern on the target surface. The system also comprises an external referencing device located remote from the graphical application device, for a global referencing of the application device according to the trackable optical feature. The desired pattern is applied with a primary alignment of the application range by the global referencing and with a fine-alignment of the actual tile to a previously applied tile according to the local referencing.

A displacement detecting apparatus according to the invention comprises: a mover which moves and positions a positioning object; an imager which images an image including an imaging object which is the positioning object or an object displacing integrally with the positioning object as the positioning object is displaced; and a displacement detector which detects the imaging object from the image imaged by the imager and detects a displacement of the positioning object based on the position of the imaging object detected in the image, wherein the displacement detector obtains a displacement amount of the positioning object with respect to a predetermined reference position from a value obtained by multiplying a distance between the position of the imaging object and the reference position in the image by a coefficient determined according to size of the imaging object in the image.

A thermal spraying system includes a fixing device and a thermal spraying apparatus that are relatively movable. The thermal spraying apparatus includes a hollow pipe, an extrusion die, a transporting device, a helical pipe, a fluid supplying device, and a heater. The hollow pipe defines an accommodating space. The extrusion die is connected with the hollow pipe. The extrusion die has a nozzle. The nozzle is in spatial communication with the accommodating space. The transporting device is used for moving a raw material to pass through the nozzle. The hollow pipe is surrounded by the helical pipe. An end of the helical pipe is connected to the nozzle. The fluid supplying device is connected to another end of the helical pipe. The heater encloses the helical pipe and the hollow pipe for heating the helical pipe and the accommodating space.

Aspects of the present invention provide a method and a remote-controlled guidance system for delivering and applying medicines to a region of the body that may not otherwise be easily accessible (e.g., to the perianal region). The system is designed to enable the user to administer their medicine at a desirable angle they control, while the user is in a relatively comfortable and efficacious position for the treatment. The device can present a safer, more hygienic, and more effective alternative method to self-administer perianal medicines than any option currently available. To this extent, the system can present a discreet, hands-free alternative to the current options, or couple to other system, such as a bidet toilet seat system, thereby substantially eliminating any discomfort, ineffectiveness, and/or embarrassment a user might otherwise experience.

A nozzle unit 22 is attached to a mounting portion 15 of a coating apparatus 10 through a support portion 21. The nozzle unit 22 can move along an arc-shaped guide portion 29 provided on the support portion 21. The guide portion 29 maintains a tip of a nozzle 31 at a center position of the arc shape and supports the nozzle unit 22 such that the nozzle unit 22 can move along the arc shape.

An apparatus for applying product to the skin of a person in a booth, comprising: an applicator configured to apply the product to the person; a first guide configured to guide movement of an applicator in a first dimension, in order to enable the applicator to apply the product to the person at a plurality of different heights; and a second guide configured to guide movement of the applicator in a second dimension, in order to enable the applicator to apply the product across the width of the person. The apparatus may comprise control circuitry for controlling the applicator in dependence upon the weight of the person.

An apparatus and method for cleaning the interior of an above ground storage tank includes a nozzle assembly mounted to a cover on the storage tank sidewall having a horizontally extending wash pipe fixedly and a suction pipe for recirculation of spent fluids. The wash pipe has an interior segment which can be extended to a tank floor and is configured with a bend to extend along the tank sides all to which is attached a submersible swivel joint fitted with a choked nozzle. A control assembly is provided to direct from the nozzle from the exterior of the storage tank. The nozzle vibrates in response to flow of wash fluid from the wash pipe.

A method for maintaining solids and heavy liquids in fluid suspension within a bulk storage tank includes providing a nozzle and suction assembly mounted to a storage tank sidewall having a horizontally extending discharge pipe and a suction pipe for recirculation of the emulsion of fluids within the storage tank. The discharge pipe and suction pipe can be extended to the tank floor and configured with a bend to extend along the tank sidewall to which is attached a submersible swivel joint fitted with a choked nozzle. The nozzle and suction assembly produce positive and vacuum pressure, respectively, for causing the simultaneous discharge and suction of contained tank fluids to cause recirculation. The nozzle may be adjusted so the direction of flow may follow the angle of the tank floor.
