Volume Data Representation and Processing for Liquid Dispensing Devices
A system and method for ejecting one or more fluids from a digital dispense device. The method includes a) inputting to a memory a volume per unit area for each of the one or more fluids to be ejected from the digital dispense device; b) matching the volume per unit area to a device resolution for the digital dispense device; c) formatting fluid ejectors for the digital dispense device for the device resolution; and d) ejecting fluid from the digital dispense device to provide the volume per area for each of the one or more fluids.
Squeeze Doser with Childproof Cap
A squeeze doser with a childproof cap is described herein. The squeeze doser with a childproof cap includes a container, a reservoir, and a cap. The container includes a neck. A reservoir is coupled with the neck of the container, wherein the reservoir further comprises a spout and at least one notch located on an outer surface of the neck, said spout coupled with a fill tube that guides liquid stored in the container to the spout, the spout including one or more holes positioned to maintain a predetermined dosage of liquid within the reservoir. The cap is releaseably attached to the neck and includes at least one protrusion that is configured to mate with the at least one notch of the neck, whereby the at least one protrusion coupled with the at least one notch renders the container childproof.
MEDICINE DISPENSING SYSTEM HAVING STAIR-STEP DOSING INDICATORS
A medicine dispensing device, configured to contain a liquid medicine to be dispensed by the medicine dispensing device and having a plurality of dosing indicia spaced apart from each other around and in relation to a circumference of a surface of the medicine dispensing device, each dosing indicia being of a different height relative to a reference level and corresponding to different dose of the liquid medicine.
Counting mechanism
A counting mechanism (100) for a dispenser comprising: a first and a second housing part (110, 120) that are rotatable relative to each other; and a counting ring (130) disposed between the housing parts. The first housing part has a protrusion (111) which abuts the counting ring, holding a portion of the counting ring in contact with the second housing part. The relative rotation of the housing parts causes the protrusion to slide against the surface of the counting ring to drive a rolling movement of the counting ring around the circumference of the second housing part, such that a predefined rotation of the housing parts produces an incremental rotational displacement between the counting ring and second housing part to record a count. The counting mechanism provides a large gear reduction ratio in a compact form which is straightforward to manufacture and provides an accurate and reliable record of counts.
Valve device, adjustment information generating method, flow rate adjusting method, fluid control system, flow rate control method, semiconductor manufacturing system and semiconductor manufacturing method
A valve device is capable of precisely adjusting a flow rate variation with time, aging, or the like without using an external sensor or using as few external sensors as possible. The apparatus includes an adjusting actuator for adjusting the position of the operating member positioned at the open position, a communication unit for receiving adjustment information relating to the adjustment of the opening degree of the flow path by the valve element from the outside of the apparatus, and a control unit for adjusting the position of the operating member by driving the adjusting actuator based on the adjustment information.
LIFTING SYSTEM FOR METERING A FLUID FROM A CONTAINER AND CONTAINER FOR A FLUID
Presented and described herein is a stroke system (1) for dosing a fluid from a container (3), comprising a piston pump (5) with a piston (7), so that a fluid can be dosed from a container (3) by displacement of the piston (7), and a temperature control device (29) for controlling the temperature of the fluid to be dosed by means of the stroke system (1).
Medicine dispensing system having stair-step dosing indicators
A medicine dispensing device, configured to contain a liquid medicine to be dispensed by the medicine dispensing device and having a plurality of dosing indicia spaced apart from each other around and in relation to a circumference of a surface of the medicine dispensing device, each dosing indicia being of a different height relative to a reference level and corresponding to different dose of the liquid medicine.
Apparatus and method for supplying a liquid medium
An apparatus for supplying a liquid medium to a metering unit comprises a housing in which media channels are arranged. One of the media channels is connected to a fluid reservoir that can be acted on by compressed air.
Squeeze doser with childproof cap
A squeeze doser with a childproof cap is described herein. The squeeze doser with a childproof cap includes a container, a reservoir, and a cap. The container includes a neck. A reservoir is coupled with the neck of the container, wherein the reservoir further comprises a spout and at least one notch located on an outer surface of the neck, said spout coupled with a fill tube that guides liquid stored in the container to the spout, the spout including one or more holes positioned to maintain a predetermined dosage of liquid within the reservoir. The cap is releaseably attached to the neck and includes at least one protrusion that is configured to mate with the at least one notch of the neck, whereby the at least one protrusion coupled with the at least one notch renders the container childproof.
Doser assemblies, apparatuses including a doser assembly, methods of making the same, and/or methods of operating the same
A doser assembly includes a hopper assembly configured to receive filler material, a vibration transmission assembly coupled to the hopper assembly, and a paddle in a hopper opening that extends through the hopper assembly. The vibration transmission assembly includes a shaft that is configured to rotate around a central rotation axis, an eccentric that is fixed to the shaft and has a center that is radially offset from the central rotation axis, a connecting rod that is pivotably connected to the center of the eccentric, and a bracket that is pivotably connected to the connecting rod. A first end of the paddle is pivotably coupled to the hopper assembly at a paddle pivot joint. The paddle is fixed to the bracket of the vibration transmission assembly separately from the hopper assembly. The vibration transmission assembly is configured to cause the paddle to reciprocatingly pivot around the paddle pivot joint.
