Abstract: A fluid dispensing apparatus includes an actuator body with an actuator and a valve stem coupled for movement with the actuator, and a fluid body having a fluid chamber capable of fluid communication with an outlet. The valve stem is adapted to extend from the actuator body into the fluid chamber for dispensing fluid from the fluid chamber through the outlet. A quick connect member is provided to selectively fully engage and disengage a first coupling element on the actuator body with a second coupling element on the fluid body, to connect and disconnect the actuator body and the fluid body with respect to each other. The quick connect member advantageously connects or disconnects these bodies without requiring disassembly or dismounting of the bodies from other elements associated with the fluid dispensing apparatus, with a simple manual movement such as a sliding linear continuous movement.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for regulating fluid flow are disclosed. The apparatus includes a flow rate sensor and a valve. The flow rate sensor uses images to estimate flow through a drip chamber and then controls the valve based on the estimated flow rate. The valve comprises a rigid housing disposed around the tube in which fluid flow is being controlled. Increasing the pressure in the housing controls the size of the lumen within the tube by deforming the tube, therefore controlling flow through the tube.

Abstract: A system for regulating fluid flow having a processor configured to reduce image noise is provided. The system includes an image sensor to capture an image of the drip chamber. The processor captures the image of the drip chamber using the image sensor, performs an edge detection on the image to generate a first processed image, and performs a Boolean-operation on a pixel on a first side of an axis of the first processed image with a corresponding pixel on a second side of the axis of the first processed image to generate a second processed image.

Abstract: A dispenser device is described having a metering chamber provided with inlet and outlet ports. Independently mounted, angularly disposed valves are associated with the ports. An activator comprising a cam wheel driven by an electric motor operates the valves in predetermined sequence through valve control arms respectively associated with each of the valves. The valve control arms are pivotally mounted and co-operate with an extension of the valve stem extending externally of the metering chamber. The electric motor is actuated by a button operating through a lever so as to close a switch. The cam wheel includes a switch cam track which holds the switch closed for a full cycle of the dispenser. Also a deactivating cam track is arranged to displace the lever so that manipulation of the button cannot effect the dispenser operation once the cycle has been initiated.

Abstract: There is a significant market for liquid detergent bottles in the approximate size of 100 fluid ounces. The advantages of this size and design of current containers include convenient value bulk size and the ability to pick up and grasp with one hand for transport and use. A major disadvantage of current designs is that this size and weight container are at the upper limit of what a small woman or elderly user can comfortably hold. A further disadvantage is that the current use/operating sequence of unscrewing the cap, pouring the bottle into the cap, dispensing the cap and then re-attaching the cap requires the careful use of both hands. A final disadvantage is that undesirable residue from the liquid often adheres to rim and surfaces on and around the container due to drips and spills. The objective of this new and improved design is to provide a container that is both easier to use and cleaner to operate, through an automatic, self-dispensing operation that reseals itself after use.

Abstract translation: 液体洗涤剂瓶大约有100个液体盎司的市场。 这种尺寸和当前容器设计的优点包括方便的大容量大小以及用一只手拾取和抓住运输和使用的能力。 目前设计的主要缺点是这种尺寸和重量容器处于小女人或老年用户可以舒适地保持的上限。 另一个缺点是当前使用/操作顺序是拧开盖子，将瓶子倒入盖子中，分配盖子然后重新安装盖子需要仔细使用双手。 最终的缺点是，由于滴漏和溢出，来自液体的不希望的残余物经常粘附在容器上和周围的边缘和表面上。 这种新的和改进的设计的目的是提供一个容易使用和更清洁的操作的容器，通过自动自动分配操作，在使用后自动重新使用。

Abstract: The dispenser device of the invention comprises a liquid storage tank overlying an intermediate chamber partially filled with liquid. The top storage tank is fluidingly linked to the intermediate chamber, and a first valve controls the liquid flow under the gravity force from the top tank into the intermediate chamber. The intermediate chamber comprises on its bottom wall an outlet port for allowing liquid to be dispensed therethrough under the gravity force and under the pressure of the overlying liquid, the liquid flow through the chamber outlet port being controlled by a second valve. A small computer is linked to the first and second valves and to a float gauge floating on the liquid located inside the intermediate chamber. Thus, the computer detects by means of the float gauge any variation of the level of liquid inside the intermediate chamber. In use, the data concerning the precise quantity of liquid which is desired is entered into the computer. The computer sends a signal to the second valve to allow liquid flow during a precise time period out of the intermediate chamber, this liquid being collected in a suitable receptacle.
