Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide apparatuses and methods for verifying dispense of a fluid from a dispense nozzle. According to one method, a path of electromagnetic radiation from a source to a receiver is obstructed with the fluid dispensed from the dispense nozzle. The intensity of the electromagnetic radiation received by the receiver is measured. The measured intensity is compared with a predetermined intensity to verify the dispense of fluid from the dispense nozzle. One apparatus for verifying dispense of a fluid comprises a source of electromagnetic radiation, and a receiver of the electromagnetic radiation from the source of the electromagnetic radiation operatively associated with the source of the electromagnetic radiation such that the electromagnetic radiation from the source is received by the receiver. A path followed by the electromagnetic radiation from the source to the receiver is offset from the fluid exiting end of the dispense nozzle by a predetermined distance such that dispense of fluid and a major drop of fluid depending from the fluid exiting end of the dispense nozzle obstruct the path and such that a minor drop of fluid does not obstruct the path.

Abstract translation: 本文公开的实施例提供了用于验证从分配喷嘴分配流体的装置和方法。 根据一种方法，从分配喷嘴分配的流体阻挡从源到接收器的电磁辐射的路径。 测量由接收器接收的电磁辐射的强度。 将测量的强度与预定强度进行比较，以验证从分配喷嘴分配流体。 用于验证流体的分配的一种装置包括电磁辐射源，以及来自电磁辐射源的电磁辐射的接收器，其与电磁辐射源可操作地相关联，使得来自源的电磁辐射由 接收器。 随后从源到接收器的电磁辐射的路径偏离了从分配喷嘴的出口端流出预定距离，使得分配流体和从分配喷嘴的离开的流体离开的主要液滴被阻塞 该路径并且使得一小滴流体不阻碍路径。
