PAINT SPRAYER SADDLE SEAL INSERTION TOOL AND METHOD
A reversible paint spray tip, including a barrel portion configured to be inserted into a barrel bore of a tip holder, and a tip flag portion attached to the barrel portion and positioned generally transversely of the barrel portion. The tip flag portion includes a handle portion defining a handle axis, integrally formed with a first end of the tip flag portion, and an alignment portion defining an alignment axis, integrally formed with a second and opposing end of the tip flag portion. The handle axis and the alignment axis are non-collinear and intersect at an angle relative to the handle portion to prevent interference of the handle portion and barrel portion with one or more guards of the tip holder when the alignment portion is positioned in the barrel bore while in an alignment position.

Spraying Device
The spraying device is configured to connect to a hose and deliver a large volume of water over of a plant's root zone or canopy with relatively low pressure and without flash flooding or erosion. The device has a tubular irrigation nozzle design that allows for effective placement of the device over any area where application of fluid is necessary, the tubular design allowing rotation of the nozzle from one side to another with ease providing unique control over water stream.

Angularly adjusted spray nozzle
According to some illustrative embodiments, an angularly adjustable spray nozzle is employed that includes: a base section having a water flow path extending lengthwise there-through; a head section aligned at an end of the base section and rotatably mounted to the base section; wherein a flow path through the base section is inclined at an angle to a flow path through the head section such that when the head section is rotated a predetermined extent relative to the base section, the spray device is moved between a substantially straight configuration of the head section with respect to the base section and an angular configuration of the head section with respect to the base section; wherein the head section includes a rotatable turret assembly having a plurality of selectable spray type discharge ports and a sleeve to which the rotatable turret assembly is mounted, the rotatable turret assembly including labels on a periphery thereof corresponding to respective ones of the selectable spray type discharge ports, and the sleeve having a plurality of windows through which the labels are viewed when aligned; and wherein the spray device is configured such that when the spray device is oriented in a generally horizontal use position a respective one of the labels corresponding to a selected spray type is displayed within a respective one of the windows that is located at a top side of the sleeve whether the spray device is in the substantially straight configuration or in the angular configuration.
Gesture control of a fluid application system
A fluid application system includes a pump unit configured to pump a fluid to a fluid applicator. The fluid application system includes a sensor configured to sense a motion made by a user and generate a sensor signal indicative of the sensed motion. The fluid application system also includes a control system configured to identify a gesture based on the sensor signal and control the fluid application system based on the identified gesture.
Automated drywall painting system and method
An automated painting system that includes a robotic arm and a painting end effector coupled at a distal end of the robotic arm, with the painting end effector configured to apply paint to a target surface. The painting system can also include a computing device executing a computational planner that: generates instructions for driving the painting end effector and robotic arm to perform at least one painting task that includes applying paint, via the painting the end effector, to a plurality of drywall pieces, the generating based at least in part on obtained target surface data; and drives the end effector and robotic arm to perform the at least one painting task.
