Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an airplane ground deicing installation that minimizes the impact of deicing operations on the airport during icing conditions. The installation does not require alteration of a normal taxi pattern and can be performed as quickly as the average separation time between take-offs. The installation allows modification of its shape to adapt to the contour of almost all types of commercial passengers airplanes operating from major airports, and simultaneously deices large surfaces of the airplane. Deicing and anti-icing fluids are applied to airplane surfaces from nozzles positioned in close proximity to the airplane's surface. Speed and adaptability to different types of airplanes, combined with a design that allows rapid relocation of the installation, are key features that make it possible to place the installation on the taxiway, close to the head of the runway it serves, such that the taxi pattern and the separation in between takeoffs are not altered as compared to the normal operations of the airport.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an applicator tip for spraying and/or mixing at least two fluids that react together, the tip comprising: at least two fluid conduits for carrying the at least two fluids, each conduit having at least one outlet opening, the openings are positioned substantially on a same plane; at least two gas conduits for carrying a gas volume, each gas conduit comprises a proximal gas tube and a distal gas tube, each distal gas tube is bent as compared to the position of the proximal gas tube, and each distal gas tube has one gas opening positioned distal from the plane of the outlet openings; and a housing for accommodating the at least two fluid conduits and the at least two gas conduits. The device allows efficient spraying in close proximity to a surface.

Abstract:
A method and system of feeding fuel into a gasifier are provided. The feed injector system includes a first injector port assembly including a plurality of annular channels substantially concentric about a longitudinal axis that define corresponding fluid flow paths that direct a flow of fluid substantially axially therethrough from a respective source to a reaction zone and a second injector port assembly including a flow port surrounded by a plurality of auxiliary ports spaced about a circumference of the flow port, the plurality of auxiliary ports communicatively coupled to a toroidal passage configured to receive a flow of fluid and channel the flow of fluid to the auxiliary ports such that the flow of fluid is discharged from the auxiliary ports having an axial flow component, a radially inward flow component, and a circumferential flow component.
Abstract:
A apparatus for delivering a predetermined quantity of content from a pressurized container includes a dispensing assembly which sits on the container and connects with an upper portion of a valve stem of the valve assembly, wherein the dispensing assembly includes a) an actuator cap having a discharge passage, which is open or obstructed and wherein the actuator cap acts as a metering chamber in combination with b) an adaptor which fits inside the cap and also snuggly engages the valve stem. The cap fits snuggly over the adjuster to define a metering chamber which depending on its position can close off the metered chamber or open it to the dispensing conduit\nozzle. When the cap is depressed it pushes down on the adjuster which depresses the valve. The chamber fills, but nothing is released until the upstroke.
Abstract:
A fuel injection head for use in a fuel injection nozzle comprises a monolithic body portion comprising an upstream face, an opposite downstream face, and a peripheral wall extending therebetween. A plurality of pre-mix tubes are integrally formed with and extend axially through the body portion. Each of the pre-mix tubes comprises an inlet adjacent the upstream face, an outlet adjacent the downstream face, and a channel extending between the inlet and the outlet. Each pre-mix tube also includes at least one fuel injector that at least partially extends outward from an exterior surface of the pre-mix tube, wherein the fuel injector is integrally formed with the pre-mix tube and is configured to facilitate fuel flow between the body portion and the channel.
Abstract:
A carbon dioxide snow ejecting device is provided to achieve efficient cleaning by widely ejecting carbon dioxide snow while suppressing consumption loss of carbon dioxide gas. The device includes a carbon dioxide gas supply source for generating carbon dioxide snow, a straightened-flow gas supply source for supplying straightened-flow gas for propelling the carbon dioxide snow, a carbon dioxide snow ejection port 1, and first straightened-flow gas discharge ports 3 incliningly opposing to each other so that the carbon dioxide snow ejection port 1 is located therebetween. The device forms the ejected carbon dioxide snow in a flat shape by the effects of the straightened-flow gas. Thus, unlike conventional techniques, neither loss nor generation of particles will not be caused by the carbon dioxide snow collides the internal surface of a nozzle. Therefore, it is able to prevent situations where loss of carbon dioxide gas and poor cleaning.
Abstract:
A method for multi-agent fogging. The method includes pressurizing a first agent to a first range of pressure. The method also includes pressurizing a second agent to a second range of pressure. The method also includes pressurizing a gas to a gas range of pressure. The method also includes atomizing at least one of the first and second agents at a nozzle to mix with the pressurized gas. The method also includes applying the atomized mixture to fog a space.
Abstract:
Embodiments of this device or method repeatedly apply droplets of two or more liquids in an alternate or sequential manner to a target location on a surface for removing material from the surface, adding material to the surface, or using the surface to catalyze a reaction of components of the liquids. The droplets have essentially no contact with one another before reaching the surface (FIG. 12A thru 13H). The effect of the droplets on the target surface can be modified by a continuous or interrupted flow of air or other gas to the target surface (FIG. 27A thru 29H), or by application of radiations such as sonic or ultrasonic radiation, or various frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, to the target surface, or some combination of these. Means may be included for adjusting the temperature of the liquids and gasses.
Abstract:
A strand coating system and method including drawing (710) a strand having major and minor dimensions past an adhesive dispensing nozzle, orienting (720) at least a portion of the strand so that the major dimension of the strand is substantially parallel to a direction in which adhesive is dispensed from the adhesive dispensing nozzle as the portion of the strand is drawn past the adhesive dispensing nozzle, and applying (730) adhesive to the strand as the strand is drawn past the adhesive dispensing nozzle.
