A consistent water to chemical ratio in each of two described operating modes is achieved by implementing a closed loop insert comprising a single straw with a dual dilution rate. The closed loop insert is installed at the packaging level and is recessed into the neck of the container so that it does not interfere with the bottle cap or the dispensing unit to which it might be attached. The closed loop engages with a mating cap adapter or chemical dispenser that keys up to a closed insert to allow the dilution dispenser to draw chemical out of the container through the use of a vacuum pressure. The dual dilution rate closed loop insert of the invention has two different metering tip sizes that fit inside a single straw closed loop insert, selected based upon operating modes.

A transfer system for supplying a receiving tank of a receiving spacecraft with a supply gas from a supply spacecraft. A transfer tank is disposed on the supply spacecraft and configured to retain a supply gas. A transfer line is coupled to the transfer tank, and one end thereof may be coupled to the receiving tank. A transfer valve is operatively coupled to the transfer line. A heating system is thermally coupled to the transfer tank. A control system is operatively coupled to the transfer valve and the heating system. The control system is operable to cause a transfer quantity of the supply gas to be heated, and to open the transfer valve, such that a difference between the increased pressure of the supply gas in the transfer tank and a pressure in the receiving tank causes the transfer quantity of the supply gas to flow to the receiving tank.

A docking and charging station (100) for use in conjunction with a hand-held fluid droplet appliance (10) for dental cleaning, the docking and charging station (100) comprising a charging base (102) for recharging the hand-held fluid droplet appliance, a reservoir (110) for holding a larger amount of liquid (112) than can be held in a chamber of the hand-held fluid droplet appliance, and a docking refilling alignment mechanism for properly aligning and securing the hand-held fluid droplet appliance in the cradle (160) of the docking and charging station when the hand-held fluid droplet appliance is mounted into the docking and charging station to prevent spillage, leaking or non-refilling of the appliance from the reservoir if there is not proper alignment.

A product system for an agricultural sprayer includes a product tank configured to store a volume of an agricultural product. A fill station is configured to accept the agricultural product from an off-board source. A flow assembly is fluidly coupled with the fill station and is configured to direct the agricultural product into a product tank from the conduit. A reclaim system is configured to provide the agricultural product within the flow assembly to the product tank. A computing system is communicatively coupled to the reclaim system. The computing system is configured to receive inputs indicative of activation of a fill mode, detect termination of the fill mode, and activate a reclaim mode to move the agricultural product from at least the conduit to the product tank through activation of the reclaim system.

A filling valve for filling a container with a filling product, e.g., a beverage in a beverage filling system, includes a valve base body. The valve base body includes an outlet configured to discharge the filling product into the container; a swirl chamber configured to receive the filling product and is able to be brought into a fluidic connection with the outlet; and a main inlet, which feeds into the swirl chamber and is configured to introduce at least one main component of the filling product into the swirl chamber such that the filling product is swirled in the swirl chamber, whereby after exiting from the outlet the filling product flows downwardly in a spiral movement in the container. The swirl chamber has an annular shape, the cross-sectional contour thereof having a rounded shape, substantially without corner points, in the direction of extent and perpendicular to the direction of extent.

A removal system (1) for a container designed to receive a fluid, with an extraction head (4) and a dip tube (5) that can be fastened thereto. By means of the extraction head (4), fluid can be removed through the dip tube (5) from the container (3) or fluid can be fed into the container (3). The extraction head (4) can be fastened to the dip tube (5) by a displacement movement. Alternatively or additionally, a target position of the dip tube (5) at the extraction head (4) is monitored by means of an optical sensor (12).

A system includes a dip tube, a feed line, and a check valve. The dip tube is inserted through an opening in a source of chemical precursor and into the chemical precursor in the source. A portion of the feed line is located in the dip tube. The feed line passes out of the dip tube. The chemical precursor is capable of flowing out of the source through the feed line in a downstream direction. The check valve is located in the portion of the feed line in the dip tube. The check valve permits the chemical precursor to pass substantially only in the downstream direction. The feed line is coupled to a transfer pump that draws the chemical precursor out of the source through the portion of the feed line in the dip tube.

An apparatus for collecting and dispensing fluid is disclosed. The apparatus comprises of a main barrel comprising a primary reservoir for collecting and storing fluid and a secondary unit comprising of a secondary reservoir for storing and dispensing fluid. The main barrel defines a space for receiving the secondary unit and the secondary unit is configured to be operably docked in the space defined by the main barrel. The secondary unit when docked to the main barrel, the main barrel and the secondary unit are coupled to receive fluid from the primary reservoir of the main barrel into the secondary reservoir of the secondary unit.

A retrieval system for a container having a dip tube and designed to hold a liquid, with a retrieval head which can be fastened to the dip tube, so that liquid can be retrieved from or supplied to the container via the dip tube and the retrieval head. The retrieval head has a liquid channel in which the liquid retrieved from or supplied to the container is conducted. An opening is provided in the wall bounding the liquid channel, wherein when the retrieval head is fastened to the dip tube the opening is closed in such a way that it is secured against the entering of gas, and wherein when the retrieval head is unfastened from the dip tube the opening is no longer closed, so that gas enters the liquid channel via the borehole.
