Provided is an apparatus for coating a girth weld and a cutback region surrounding said girth weld, said apparatus having lateral travel at least equal to the length of the cutback region and circumferential rotational travel around the pipe. The apparatus can provide a multiple component coating accurately and safely, without the need for solvent flushing of the apparatus.

An irrigation system includes a housing on which a trigger is movably mounted, a motor, an accumulator, a pump and a gearing arranged inside the housing. At least the motor and the accumulator are mounted in a drive unit which can be replaced.

A method for cleaning at least one workpiece and a cleaning device are described. The method includes: cleaning at least one workpiece held by a workpiece carrier in a treatment container, by at least one nozzle which discharges a cleaning jet directed onto the workpiece. The cleaning includes: specifying a rotational speed of the workpiece carrier and a circulation speed of the at least one nozzle on a circulation track about the workpiece carrier; rotating the workpiece carrier at the specified rotational speed; moving the at least one nozzle at the specified circulation speed about the workpiece carrier; and pivoting the at least one nozzle about a pivoting axis extending parallel to an axis of rotation of the workpiece carrier such that a specified point on a surface of the workpiece is impacted repeatedly by the cleaning jet at a respectively different angle, within a specified timeframe.

A vertical internal coating machine is taught, which may be used with bodies such as cans (2 piece, 3 piece, draw, redraw,) and including cylinders, containers and any similar body. In the machine cans or similar bodies are vertical in the machine's star wheel rather than horizontal, and the bodies are sprayed with the star wheel in continuous motion without stopping and starting. The machine teaches that a plurality of spray guns may be provided for each pocket of the star wheel. By means of the machine an improved line layout is devised which may eliminate the need to raise the bodies immediately prior to a necker by allowing the vertical can internal coating machine and internal bake over to be disposed on any level of the facility, upper, lower, mezzanine, etc. In green aspects, the machine may use negative pressure cabinets/hoods and positive pressure tunnels to entrain volatile organic chemicals emitted by the spray guns and coated bodies and may send these VOCs to a VOC desctruction device, such as an oven.

The present invention relates to a device for coating the inside of an artificial blood vessel and, to explain more specifically, to a device for coating the inside of an artificial blood vessel inserted into the body of a human for a medical purpose, which is configured to be able to selectively coat just the inside of a lumen of the artificial blood vessel with a bioactive substance for inhibiting neointimal hyperplasia, in order to prevent a side effect, such as angiostenosis or inflammation, from occurring in an area connecting the artificial blood vessel and a blood vessel in the body.

A nozzle pair (3, 6) is used to coat the side faces of spacers (1) for insulating glass with an adhesive material, the adhesive material being applied to the side face of the spacers (1) through the nozzles (15) of the nozzle pair. As the side faces of the spacer (1) are coated with adhesive material the nozzle pair (3, 6) is moved along the sides of the spacer (1), the relative movement between the nozzle pair (3, 6) and the spacer (1) being obtained by a movement of the spacer (1) and/or the nozzle pair (3, 6). With this way of working, there is no need to rotate the spacer (1) about an axis perpendicular to its plane and therefore the rotation can be dispensed with.

A lens holder for accommodating an optical lens includes a carrier element that forms a receptacle area for the lens, a sealing structure or seal on the carrier element for fixing the lens in the receptacle area by negative pressure. A camera is arranged behind the receptacle area, using the image area of which a light distribution in the receptacle area is acquired. A protective film removal device is provided with the lens holder, wherein an action mechanism is designed to act mechanically, thermally, chemically, pneumatically, or hydraulically on a protective film on a lens. An evaluation device, linked to the camera, is designed to evaluate the light distribution in the receptacle area, which is dependent on the progress of the detachment of the protective film. A method and a use of the lens holder is also provided in terms of detaching a protective film from an optical lens.

A device for repelling pests includes a housing, a positioning mechanism to move the housing, at least three range-finding elements affixed to the housing along a common plane to detect a presence of a pest (e.g., an animate pest such as an animal, or an inanimate pest such as a drone) by obtaining a signal indicative of a location of the pest relative to the device, a projectile launcher affixed to the housing to fire one or more projectiles therefrom, and a controller electronically coupled to the range-finding elements, the positioning mechanism, and the projectile launcher. The controller may be configured to move the housing using the positioning mechanism until a strength of the signal obtained from each of the range-finding elements is substantially equal thereby indicating that the projectile launcher is directed toward the location of the pest, and to fire projectiles from the projectile launcher toward the pest.

A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional object includes: providing a carrier which has a predetermined surface including a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface; and driving a discharging head to move on a work track and conduct a three-dimensional spread corresponding to the first surface, the second surface, and the third surface, wherein the predetermined surface and the work track have an identical spacing therebetween. Wherein the discharging head moves relative to the first surface using a first movement speed and conducts the three-dimensional spread, the discharging head moves relative to the second surface using a second movement speed and conducts the three-dimensional spread, the discharging head moves relative to the third surface using a third movement speed and conducts the three-dimensional spread.
