| 20140014742 | GAS INJECTION SYSTEM FOR ENERGETIC-BEAM INSTRUMENTS - A gas injection system for an energetic-beam instrument having a vacuum chamber. The system has a cartridge containing a chemical serving as a source for an output gas to be delivered into the vacuum chamber. The cartridge has a reservoir containing the chemical, which rises to a fill line having a level defined by an amount of the chemical present in the reservoir at a given time. An outlet from the reservoir is coupled to an output passage through an outlet valve and configured so that when the system is tilted the outlet remains above the level of the fill line. Embodiments include isolation valves allowing the cartridge to be disconnected without destroying system vacuum. | 01-16-2014 |
| 20140027540 | LIQUID DELIVERY SYSTEM - A liquid delivery system comprises a tank containing a supply of liquid. A positive displacement pump operates to withdraw the liquid from the tank via a suction conduit and to deliver a pressurized flow of the liquid via a delivery conduit. A metering orifice in the delivery conduit serves to modulate the flow of the liquid through the delivery conduit. A normally closed first valve located in the delivery conduit between the pump and the metering orifice is opened in response to a pressure of the liquid exceeding a threshold level, and is operative when open to deliver the liquid to the metering orifice at a substantially constant pressure. A bypass conduit communicates with the tank and with the delivery conduit at a location between the pump and the first valve. A flow restrictor in the bypass conduit serves to modulate a return flow of the liquid from the delivery conduit to the tank, thereby modulating the pressure of the liquid being delivered to the first valve. | 01-30-2014 |
| 20140117116 | SPRAY HEAD FOR TWO COMPONENT MIXER - A device for mixing at least two separate streams of components which, when mixed, form a combined fluid stream. The device comprises a conduit with at least two separate passageways leading to exit openings at an end face of the conduit. Each passageway communicates with a separate component stream and is arranged to direct the separate component stream in a downstream direction. The exit openings each have a predetermined cross-sectional flow area. A separate channel is located at a downstream end of each passageway exit opening The channels are arranged to redirect the flow from each passageway to an axial direction. A single mixing chamber communicates with all of the separate channels, the mixing chamber being arranged to receive each of the component streams at an upstream end thereof and to permit a mixing of the component streams. An outlet is arranged downstream of the mixing chamber through which the combined fluid stream is dispensed. | 05-01-2014 |
| 20140166781 | Devices for Improved Delivery of Volatile Liquids - An emanation system is described comprising and emanation device and a replaceable refill of liquid, wherein the refill comprises: a sealed reservoir of a liquid containing one or more active materials wherein the active material comprises at least one of: a fragrance; an insecticide; a fungicide; a pesticide; a sanitising material; and/or a pharmaceutical; a porous wick having a length which extends from the interior of the reservoir to the exterior thereof; a reservoir seal having at least one aperture through which the porous wick extends; and a hollow liquid conduit housed within the wick having a length substantially identical to the wick; and wherein the device comprises: an air pump; a fluid conduit in fluid communication with the air pump such that, in use, air pumped by the pump will flow through the fluid conduit; a nozzle located at the end of the fluid conduit remote from the air pump; a ejector constriction provided in the fluid conduit adjacent or substantially adjacent the nozzle; a liquid conduit engaging member provided adjacent the ejector constriction and in fluid communication with the fluid conduit at one end thereof, and configured at the other end to, in use, engage the hollow liquid conduit in the refill; characterised in that a mechanism is provided to permit the liquid conduit engagement member to form a liquid tight seal with the liquid conduit. | 06-19-2014 |
| 20140197250 | Extendable Shower Head Apparatus - An extendable shower head apparatus that includes a hollow support rod, the hollow support rod provides support to the extendable shower head apparatus, a connection piece that is movably connected to the hollow support rod and a shower head that includes a hollow stem. The apparatus also includes a plurality of wheel bearings that roll along the hollow support rod, a first hose extended through the wheel bearings and provides the water to the shower head, a tension pulley that supports movement of the first hose, a two hose connector attached to the second end of the first hose and a pipe that provides the water to the two hose connector used by a user, the pipe is connected to the two hose connector and the two hose connector connects the pipe to the second end of the first hose. | 07-17-2014 |
| 20140339336 | METHOD FOR MINIMIZING EMISSIONS WHILE FORMING A POLYURETHANE FOAM - A method minimizes emissions while spraying a mixture of a resin composition and a polyisocyanate onto a surface. The resin composition has a hydroxyl content of at least 400 mg KOH/g and includes a blowing agent that is a liquid under pressure, a first polyol, at least one additional polyol other than the first polyol, and optionally a catalyst, surfactant, and water. The mixture is sprayed onto the surface to form a polyurethane foam having a closed cell content of at least 90 percent. The mixture is also sprayed through a spray nozzle at a spray angle corresponding to a control spray angle of from 15 to 125 degrees measured at a pressure of from 10 to 40 psi using water as a standard. The step of spraying produces less than 50 parts of the polyisocyanate per one billion parts of air according to OSHA Method 47. | 11-20-2014 |
| 20140346250 | VARIABLE ASSET MULTIPHASE EJECTOR FOR PRODUCTION RECOVERY AT THE WELLHEAD - A multiphase ejector including a housing space with a first inlet opening, connectable to a first fluid source, a second inlet opening, connectable to a second fluid source, and an outlet opening. A bush inside the housing space includes a channel having a first opening connected to the first inlet opening and a second opening connected to the second inlet opening and the outlet opening. A member inside the space mixes the fluids and demlimits a channel with a first opening connected to the second opening of the channel and to the second inlet opening, and a second opening connected to the outlet opening. A restriction associated with the bush adjusts the flow-rate of the first fluid in the second opening of the channel.
