Abstract:
A system including a sprayer including a handle, a trigger configured to move between a first trigger position and a second trigger position, wherein the sprayer is configured to block flow of a coating material when the trigger is in the first trigger position and to spray the coating material when the trigger is in the second trigger position, a trigger lock coupled to the trigger, wherein the trigger lock is configured to selectively block movement of the trigger between the first trigger position and the second trigger position.
Abstract:
A voltage amplifier (10) is provided that includes a first row (50) and a second row (52) each having a respective first or second plurality of capacitors (12) arranged collinearly. First row (50) capacitors (12) comprise first terminals and second row (52) capacitors (12) comprise second terminals. The first row (50) and second row (52) are parallel to each other along longitudinal and lateral axes. A third row has a first plurality of diodes (14) and a fourth row has a second plurality of diodes (14), each row positioned cross¬ wise to the first row (50) and located above the first (50) and second rows (52) along the vertical axis. The first diodes (14) are positioned parallel to each other along the longitudinal and lateral axes, and the second diodes (14) are parallel to each other along the longitudinal and lateral axes and positioned cross-wise to and above the first plurality along the vertical axis. Diodes (14) and capacitors (12) are directly and physically connected using respective electrical leads (36).
