20080262650 | ULTRA LOW VOLUME CHEMICAL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A mobile, real-time system for delivering an aerosol spray to a treatment area while maintaining the fluid within a closed environment for providing maximum personal protection to the operators handling the fluid during the transfer and application of the fluid. The invention includes a spraying device for producing a precise degree of liquid droplet generation on a repeatable basis by combining a specified rate of regulated flow of liquid material with a regulated flow of high-pressure air. The delivery system includes a closed loop system for calibrating a liquid pump, which regulates the flow of liquid within the system. A controller is coupled to the components of the delivery system for control thereof. The operator of the delivery system communicates with the controller through a user interface, which provides the operator with manual and automatic controls of the delivery system, such as the closed environment calibration of the pump and transfer of fluid from an external source to the delivery system. | 10-23-2008 |
20090025794 | ULTRA LOW VOLUME FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM USING A CENTRIFUGAL RADIAL COMPRESSOR AND METHOD THEREOF - A fluid delivery system and method is disclosed for the application of fluids to a region using a centrifugal radial compressor. | 01-29-2009 |
20100301123 | Air Quality Control System - The present invention provides methods, devices and systems for improving air quality. In one exemplary embodiment, the invention provides an air quality control system for maintaining or improving air quality within a room. The air quality control system includes a fan in fluid communication with a room. The fan is configured to vent air from within the room to control air quality therein. The air quality control system further includes a fluid flow sensor located proximate to a conduit. The fluid flow sensor is in communication with a wireless transmitter configured to generate a signal based upon fluid flow through the conduit. The air quality control system also includes a receiver configured to receive the wireless signal generated by the wireless transmitter, wherein the receiver is in communication with the fan to cause activation of the fan based upon the signal generated by the wireless transmitter. | 12-02-2010 |
20120003366 | AUTOMATED EQUIPMENT FOR HYDRATION, MIXING AND DELIVERY OF ALGINATE TO A PELLET FORMING DEVICE - The present invention provides methods and devices for the preparation and delivery of retention and lubricant agents to ingredients to be pelletized through a forming device such as a pellet mill, extruder or otherwise. Through the features of the present invention, a continuous supply of retention and lubricant agent is prepared and delivered to a forming device, which may be automated based upon calculated or measured need of the retention and lubricant agent. In one embodiment, these and other advantageous features are based upon a unique device configured for automated hydration and delivery of alginate to a forming device based upon one or more conditions of the device, forming device or both. | 01-05-2012 |
20120064212 | Method and Devices for Forming Articles - The present invention is predicated upon methods and devices for forming numerous articles for various applications including nutritional applications, medicinal applications, or other useful applications for plants, animals or otherwise. In one aspect, the present invention provides methods and devices for forming high quality pellets using alginates as a retention agent for the ingredients. This may be achieved through the creation or modification of pre-existing forming devices, wherein an alginate applicator is provided for applying the alginate to the ingredients, before, during or after formation of the articles, or combinations thereof, to retain the ingredients of the articles together. | 03-15-2012 |
20130149420 | Methods and Devices for Forming Articles - The present invention relates to methods and devices for the formation of articles, for example pelletized articles, for use as animal feed or otherwise. In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides a process of forming animal feed. The process includes forming a mixture of hydrated alginate. The process further includes forming a mixture of ingredients to be pelletized, the mixture of ingredients being placed in a preconditioning chamber of a forming device. The process further includes atomizing and injecting the hydrated alginate into the preconditioning chamber to coat the mixture of ingredients. The process still further includes pelletizing the mixture of alginate coated ingredients, wherein the volume of atomized hydrated alginate applied to the mixture of ingredients is based upon one or more characteristics of the ingredients, one or more operating conditions of the forming device or both. | 06-13-2013 |
