a housing (108, 308, 408) including a planar bezel or housing member (106, 306, 406) having a substantially planar distal or external surface;
said bezel including a first image sensor having an external image sensing surface (102, 302, 402) and a second image sensor having a second external image sensing surface (104, 304, 404) wherein said first image sensor's external surface and said second image sensor's external surface are incorporated integrally into or supported by said bezel's substantially planar distal or external surface (106, 306, 406);
a single nozzle assembly (110, 310, 410) carried on or molded into said housing (108, 308, 408) projecting from said housing's external surface and to one side of said first and second image sensors' external surfaces, said nozzle assembly incorporating a spray head (120, 320, 420) having at least one fluid outlet nozzle having an aperture or outlet orifice directing a controlled fluid spray (122, 322, 422) outwardly along a spray axis (112, 312L, 412L) toward and across at least one of said first and second image sensors' external surfaces (102, 104, 302, 304, 402, 404).

摘要： A nozzle and spray dispenser for generating a uniform substantially flat fan spray pattern when spraying high viscosity fluids (i.e., oils, lotions, cleaning liquids, shear-thinning liquids and gels and similar Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids having viscosities of 10-100 cP) is configured with an exit orifice 134 defining multiple lip segments 150A, 150B, 150C. Cup-shaped nozzle member 100 has a cylindrical side wall 102 surrounding a central longitudinal axis and has a circular closed end wall with at least one exit aperture passing through the end wall 112. At least one enhanced exit orifice structure is formed in an inner surface of the end wall, and includes two to five lip segments of selected width defining edges at the orifice 134, where each edge segment is defined at the distal edge of a separate and distinct interior wall segment 160A, 160B, 160C which has a selected wall convergence angle β.

摘要： A very compact nozzle assembly 100, 200, 300 and spray head for an automotive washer nozzle is configured for inclusion into an automotive trim component. The compact nozzle assembly and spray head generate a very effective cleaning spray at a selected spray fan angle, yaw angle and roll angle and, in an exemplary embodiment, the spray fan is dual shear shaped, producing an even distribution, which may be varied from 30° to 120°. Spray head may be as small as 5 mm in diameter and be aimed to provide a spray with various spray aim, yaw and roll angles. The design accounts for better mold ability and versatility of application.

摘要： A low profile, integrated camera wash nozzle assembly 1010 is readily and unobtrusively integrated into a vehicle's exterior trim surfaces 1420 to make a more visually appealing exterior design while not compromising spray performance. A system and nozzle assembly (e.g., 710, 810, 1010) for cleaning an exterior objective lens or wide-angle sensor's exterior surface 1022 to remove accumulated debris sprays washer fluid at a selected shallow angle which is substantially transverse to the lenses central viewing axis 1050. A low-profile conformal housing fixture 1011 is adapted to receive and aim a very compact fluidic circuit insert 1200 that can generate a wide spray which substantially covers the lens surface, despite being very close to the edge of the lens 1022.

摘要： A nozzle assembly includes a fluidic oscillator 100 operating on a pressurized fluid to generate an oscillating spray of fluid droplets, and the oscillator aims fluid jets from first, second and third power nozzles 114A, 114B, 114C into an interaction chamber 118 and toward an upwardly projecting island protuberance 126 defining first, second and third island wall segments. The outermost jets 114A, 114B are aimed at an obtuse angle of 100 to 140 degrees along axes which intersect beyond the island at a Jet intersection point, J1. The upstream end of interaction chamber 118 is defined by first and second laterally offset concave wall surfaces 142, 152 which define left side and right side vortex generating areas so that fluid jet steering vortices may be alternately formed and then displaced distally and shed to steer the fluid jet laterally within interaction chamber 118.

摘要： A multiple-fluidic circuit substrate structure with an integral inter-circuit bypass lumen effectively provides multiple parallel filtered fluid inlets having filtered fluid outlets with at least one inter-circuit pass-through channel in fluid communication between the filtered fluid outlets to automatically provide full flow of filtered fluid to each of a plurality of fluidic circuits or to two or more circuits even if one fluidic circuit's corresponding inlet fluid filter is clogged.
