An electro-hydraulic actuation system for a sprayer comprises a hydraulic system, a hydraulic actuator, an electric actuator and a sprayer. The hydraulic system is for pressurizing a hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic actuator is powered by the hydraulic system. The electric actuator controls actuation of the hydraulic actuator by the hydraulic system. The sprayer is actuated by the hydraulic actuator.

A high-pressure cleaning appliance includes a connection for a liquid source, a delivery pump, a motor for driving the delivery pump, a delivery line through which liquid can be delivered from the connection to a spraying-out opening of the delivery line via the delivery pump, and a valve which is arranged in the delivery line. The motor has two operating states. The two operating states include an off state and an on state. The valve has two valve states, wherein the two valve states include a closed state and an open state. In the closed state, the valve prevents a flow of liquid through the delivery line. In the open state, the valve allows a flow of liquid through the delivery line. The high-pressure cleaning appliance is structurally configured in such a way that the adjustment of the operating state of the motor is possible only if the valve is in the open state.

A liquid ejecting head includes a nozzle. A sectional shape at a first-position in the nozzle in an ejection-direction is a first-external-shape, and a straight line extending in a second-direction orthogonal to both the ejection-direction and a first-direction being a longitudinal-direction of the first-external-shape and passing through a center of the first-external-shape in the first-direction is a first-center-line. A first-width corresponding to a maximum width in the second-direction in a portion of the first-external-shape on one side in the first-direction with respect to the first-center-line is at a third-position in the first-direction. A second-width corresponding to a maximum width in the second-direction in a portion of the first-external-shape on the other side in the first-direction with respect to the first-center-line is at a fourth-position in the first-direction. A distance between the third-position and the fourth-position is greater than the first-width and the second-width.

An underwater remote cleaning device includes a submersible assembly, a cleaning conduit, and a thruster conduit. The submersible assembly has an upper frame and a lower frame spaced-apart from each other and at least one vertically extending element having a first end and a second end. The first end of the vertically extending element is engaged to the upper frame and the second end of the vertically extending element is engaged to the lower frame. The cleaning conduit is disposed within the submersible assembly with an inlet for receiving a liquid and at least one nozzle disposed on the cleaning conduit for spraying the liquid. The thruster conduit is disposed within the submersible assembly with an inlet for receiving a liquid and at least one nozzle disposed on the cleaning conduit for spraying the liquid.

An aerial spray rainmaking device includes a container (10), a water storage assembly (20), a pump (30) and a spraying assembly (40). The water storage assembly (20) is disposed in the container (10) and includes a water tank (21) filled with water (B). The spraying assembly (40) includes a pressure tank (41) and multiple nozzles (42) communicating with the pressure tank (41). Two ends of the pump (30) separately communicate with the water tank (21) and the pressure tank (41). The water (B) is pressured by the pressure tank (41), and is nebulized and sprayed out of the container (10) by each nozzle (42). Therefore, widespread clouds in the high sky may be quickly condensed into water droplets to accomplish the function of rainmaking.

An adhesive dispensing system for applying liquid adhesive to a substrate using different nozzles with the same manifold is disclosed. The adhesive dispensing system includes a manifold having a body, a first clamp configured to engage the body of the manifold, a second clamp configured to engage the body of the manifold, and a nozzle. The first and second clamps secure the nozzle to the body of the manifold. The body of the manifold has a first contact surface that engages the first clamp and a second contact surface that engages the second clamp and the nozzle, where the second contact surface is angularly offset from the first contact surface.

Spray drying method and systems are disclosed that include one or more single-use components. Single-use spray drying systems can include a drying chamber with an inner surface formed of a polymeric material. The single-use components can be pre-sterilized and sterile packaged to provide improved efficiencies and greater operational flexibility in spray drying systems.

A system and method for tagging, tracking, locating and identifying people and vehicles transporting people using Perfluorocarbon tracers. An on-going problem faced by military as well as law enforcement personnel is that of friendly fire incidents. To prevent possible friendly-fire incidents, troops would separate the two layers of the uniform patch, thereby releasing a controlled release of the Perfluorocarbon vapors. Other “friendly” troops, equipped with sensors tuned to the specific perfluorocarbon characteristics would thus be able to literally view a plume around the tagged person or object. The system may conversely be used to tag enemies. Formulations of mixed perfluorocarbons may be used to provide coding of emissions.

A moisture control apparatus for a cooking chamber of a cooking device. A cooking system that can include the cooking device and the moisture control apparatus connected to the cooking chamber of the cooking device. The moisture control apparatus can include a control portion and a dispersal portion. The control portion can be located on the outside of the cooking device. The control portion can control the flow of water to the dispersal portion so as to control moisture on a food in the cooking chamber of the cooking device by providing, by the dispersal portion, a mist or fog of water particles to the cooking surface of the cooking chamber. The dispersal portion can be located inside the cooking chamber of the cooking device, and the control portion can be located outside the cooking chamber of the cooking device.

There is provided a holding member including: a holding unit configured to hold a package with a variable volume; and a connection unit configured to connect the holding unit and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The holding member may include a posture change unit configured to change a posture of the holding member, and a posture fixing unit for the holding unit. The holding member may include a package fixing unit configured to fix the package to the holding unit. There is provided a spraying method in which in a state in which the holding member holds the package, and the holding member holding the package is mounted on the unmanned aerial vehicle, a content of the package is sprayed from the unmanned aerial vehicle.
