Disclosed is a workpiece processing apparatus that performs a predetermined processing on a workpiece. The workpiece processing apparatus includes: a workpiece table configured to place the workpiece thereon; a processor configured to process the workpiece placed on the workpiece table; a movement mechanism configured to relatively move the workpiece table and the processor; a position measuring device configured to measure a position of the movement mechanism; a detector configured to detect a position of the workpiece placed on the workpiece table; and a corrector configured to calculate a positional correction amount of the workpiece table based on a measurement result of the position measuring device and a detection result of the detector.

The present invention provides a surface following nozzle, an observation device for a moving object surface, and an observation method for the moving object surface that can remove water in the vicinity of the nozzle while following changes in the shape and changes in the distance of a moving object. A surface following nozzle includes a nozzle that injects gas from a tip end thereof, a separating part that closes a base end of the nozzle, and an extending and contracting part that is provided at a rear side of the nozzle via the separating part, and extends and contracts along an axial direction of the nozzle. The extending and contracting part includes an elastic body that applies a forward force with respect to the nozzle.

An automated mobile sprayer (AMS) (10) applies fluid sprays to a target surface. The AMS can operate according to a wall-follow routine, where the AMS maintains a spacing and orientation relative to the target surface and shifts a set distance between each spray pass. The AMS is also operable in an overlap adjustment mode where a control module (24) of the AMS actively determines the distance that AMS shifts between each spray pass such that AMS applies the final orthogonal spray on the target surface at an end point of the target surface.

An automated mobile sprayer (AMS) (12) is configured to apply stripes of fluid to target surfaces to coat those target surfaces with the fluid. A control module (24) of the AMS (12) controls movement and spraying by the AMS. The control module (24) causes the AMS (12) to follow a target surface based on distance data from distance sensors configured to detect the target surface.

Kits for vehicles may include pulse-width-modulated solenoids configured to selectably turn individual nozzle assemblies on and off and vary their flow rates when installed in fluid communication with the nozzle assemblies, one or more wirelessly-controllable solenoid controllers, a wiring harness to electrically connect the pulse-width-modulated solenoids to the controller(s), a wirelessly-communicating GPS antenna system, a LiDAR sensing system which may be wirelessly-communicating, associated wiring and bracketry to connect the kit with a vehicle, and a mobile device configured to wirelessly cause the one or more controllers to turn individual nozzle assemblies on and off and vary their flow rates based on sensed data and/or recorded data, in view of user-selected criteria.

A sanitary washing device including: a nozzle discharging water toward a human body private part; a water guide part including a pipe line reaching from a water supply source to the nozzle, and guiding water supplied from the water supply source to the nozzle; a vacuum breaker provided on a path of the water guide part, and taking air into the pipe line when water does not flow in the water guide part; and an ultraviolet irradiation part provided between the vacuum breaker and the nozzle on the path of the water guide part, and including a flow channel flowing water and a light emitting part irradiating ultraviolet rays to the water flowing in the flow channel is provided.

The invention relates to a modular system for weed control for a rail vehicle. The modular system has a control unit for producing control signals for controlling valves and miners in a separate herbicide and mixing module and for producing a second set of control signals for controlling valves of a nozzle rod. The herbicide and mixing module has a container for holding different herbicides and electrical connection elements for connections to the control unit. Furthermore, a nozzle rod is present, which is tit ted with a nozzle set, in order to spray herbicides of the herbicide and mixing module. In addition, a camera module is present, which produces a weed signal in response to the detection of a weed, in order to control the spraying of the herbicides. The camera module is at such a distance from the nozzle rod that, despite high speed, there is sufficient time to provide the herbicide at the nozzles.

A repeatable manufacturing process uses a printer to deposits liquid for each product carried by a substrate to form respective thin films. The liquid is dried, cured or otherwise processed to form from the liquid a permanent layer of each respective product. To perform printing, each newly-introduced substrate is roughly mechanically aligned, with an optical system detecting sub-millimeter misalignment, and with software correcting for misalignment. Rendering of adjusted data is performed such that nozzles are variously assigned dependent on misalignment to deposit droplets in a regulated manner, to ensure precise deposition of liquid for each given area of the substrate. For example, applied to the manufacture of flat panel displays, software ensures that exactly the right amount of liquid is deposited for each “pixel” of the display, to minimize likelihood of visible discrepancies in the resultant display.
