摘要:
A pouring spout for hand-held portable fuel tank incorporates a float valve to automatically shut off fuel flow through the spout when the fuel level in a receiving reservoir reaches a given spatial relationship with the outlet end of the spout. An axially displaceable locking magnet within the spout lock the valve in the closed position. The locking magnet is released from its locking position by an unlatching magnet incorporated in a sealing cap. The unlatching magnet cancels the magnetic force that holds the magnetic valve in the closed position, thereby allowing it to move to its open position only when the closure cap is in position to seal the spout. The locking mechanism includes an axially displaceable magnet of given axial length, that is captured within a sealed container positioned in the pouring spout. The sealed container has an axial length greater than the length of the magnet. The sealed container can be filled with a viscous fluid to slow axial displacement of the magnet as it moves from one axial end of the container to the other. The locking magnet is displaced to one end of the container when the spout is in the upright position, which the tank assumes when it is at rest, and moves to the opposite end of the container when the spout is in the inverted position that it assumes when the tank is tilted to fill a reservoir by pouring fluid out of the tank through the spout.

A touchless automatic fiber optic beverage/ice dispenser (10, FIG. 1), dispenses ice and or beverages into a cup/container (26, FIG. 2), without user or cup/container touching any part of the machine, for sanitary effortless product filling activation. Any number of products may be dispensed from dispensing nozzles (16, 18, FIG. 1), in any volumes desired, allowing product mixing to customize beverages to the user's preference. Touchless automatically activated dispensing allows cup/container to be held in normal fashion to which people are currently accustomed. A filling indicator light (15, FIG. 1) illuminates during automatic filling. nullOn/offnull mode selector (14, FIG. 1) prevents unauthorized product dispensation, and allows fast, easy machine cleaning. Resulting is a user friendly, commercially durable, sanitary touchless beverage/ice dispenser (10, FIG. 1), wherein germs and diseases are not transmitted from person to person via the machine, even during refilling.

A medicament tablet dispensing system and method dispenses any selected number of tablets, up to a maximum number, with minimal dispensing delays. During fill operations, a preset number of tablets are counted and stored in dedicated storage compartments. Dispensing operations are performed in response to dispense request commands. The fill operations are performed in a manner independent from the quantity of tablets identified by the dispense request commands. During the dispensing operations for a particular dispense request command, the preset number of tablets are emptied from one or more of the dedicated storage compartments, thereby avoiding delays associated with counting all of the dispensed tablets. Moreover, the fill operations and the dispensing operations may be performed in parallel for high-throughput dispensing applications.
摘要:
The invention concerns a method wherein the particles are homogeneously distributed like rain to constitute a horizontal bed of particles on the entire section of the chamber (1). The invention is characterised in that it consists in temporarily modifying at least once the loading conditions, so that the profile of the surface (8) of the bed of particles forms, at least at the periphery thereof an angle null with the horizontal ranging between 6null and 25null, preferably, between 10null and 20null, and in subsequently restoring the loading conditions to obtain a horizontal bed.

An automatic portion control system, comprising: a dispensing mechanism adapted for dispensing a first substance into a container; a scale adapted for weighing said container; and control circuitry adapted for reading a container weight from said scale and controlling said dispensing mechanism accordingly. The invention further comprises a method for dispensing a product into a container, comprising the steps of: weighing a container; and dispensing the product into the container until reaching the estimated filled weight of the container.
摘要:
An overflow prevention system and method for storage tanks includes a flow disturber situated in the tank fill tube, a fluid level sensor for sensing fluid level in the tank, and an actuator that causes the flow disturber to move toward the fill tube inlet in response to rising fluid level sensed by the fluid level sensor. The flow disturber is arranged to travel between a first position in which it does not cause turbulent flow in the fill tube and a second position in which it causes turbulent flow. The actuator is responsive to the fluid level sensor to move the flow disturber to the second position when a predetermined fluid level is reached. The transition to turbulent flow triggers the automatic shut-off feature of the dispensing nozzle to prevent the tank from being filled beyond the predetermined level.
摘要:
A method and system for preventing vehicle misfuelling by utilizing an apparatus that receives a fuel nozzle into the filler neck, and activates a vacuum on the nozzle inserted therein. Using the pump's internal shut-off mechanism, this prevents the fuel pump from dispensing fuel until the sensing unit within the apparatus is able to identify the fuel proposed to be added to the tank. If the fuel is deemed acceptable, the vacuum is released, and the fuel is permitted to enter into the desired fuel tank.

In a document delivery method and system, a sending computer is adapted to be operated by a sending party to send out an electronic document. A receiving unit, which is situated at a mail delivery service provider, is operable so as to establish a network connection with the sending computer so as to receive the electronic document therefrom. A printing unit is coupled to the receiving unit, receives the electronic document from the receiving unit, and makes a printed document that corresponds to the electronic document. An enveloping unit is operable so as to wrap the printed document in enveloping material. A conveying unit, which is disposed between the printing unit and the enveloping unit, is responsible for conveying the printed document from the printing unit to the enveloping unit.
摘要:
The filling nozzle according to the invention is provided with a ring for fastening on an adaptor connected to a container and with a controlled valve adapted to selectively obturate a conduit for flow of a fluid. A sensor for detecting the fastening of the nozzle on an adaptor makes it possible, as a function of the fastening, to render a kinematic link between a control member and the valve active, this link making it possible, in active configuration, to displace the valve from a position where it obturates the conduit towards a position where it leaves a passage free for the fluid in the conduit. The control member is a trigger provided with a notch which comprises two parts in which may slide an element fast with a lever articulated on the valve. Depending on the part where this element slides, a transmission of effort between the trigger and the lever is, or is not, possible.

Improvements to filling valves of bottling plants in which the interruption of the processing fluids' flow happens automatically when the level of the liquid inside the filled bottle reaches the lower edge of the vent tube and the air trapped in the filling valve prevents the coming out of the liquid from the tank even if the external membrane (6) is still in the open position.
