Abstract: A wild fire defense system network for proactively defending homes and properties from wild fires. A GPS system provides GPS-location services to each system component in the wild fire defense system network, supported by a wireless communication network. First and second group of wireless GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spraying systems are provided. The first group of wireless GPS-tracked chemical liquid spraying systems are assigned to homes and/or buildings in strategic areas of a specified region, for spraying the outside of homes and surrounding ground cover with environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid, to proactively protect the homes and surrounding ground cover from wild fire. The second group of GPS-tracked chemical liquid spraying systems are assigned to operators in the strategic area for spraying GPS-specified ground cover with anti-fire chemical liquid to create strategic clean-chemistry fire breaks that proactively protect GPS-specified property cover from wild fire.

Abstract: A method of proactively protecting property and buildings constructed thereon from wild fire by spraying environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid prior to the arrival of wild fires. Intelligence data is remotely collected relating to risks of wild fires in specified regions, and maintained in a network database, and used to generate anti-fire (AF) spray protection maps and task reports for execution in the specified region. Prior to the arrival of a wild fire to the region, and based on the GPS-specified anti-fire (AF) spray protection maps and task reports, application servers deployed on a wireless system network issue a request or order to the property owner, or its registered contractor, to apply clean AF chemical liquid spray on the GPS-specified parcel of property using a GPS-specified AF chemical liquid spraying system, so as to proactively protect the property prior to presence of wild fire.

Abstract: The present invention is a fluid dispensing apparatus, and method of use, e.g. for mouthwash and medicine, for dispensing a sterile liquid in single doses to prevent bacterial growth from un-used portions pored back into the apparatus. The apparatus has a hollow flexible cap enclosure surrounding a one-way valve inside of a bladder and a push rubber surface for liquid release. When the cap is removed, both the container body and the cap remain sealed from exposure to contaminates. Liquid is first dispensed from the container by inverting the container until a quantity of sterile liquid collects in the cap. The container is then positioned in an upright position and the fluid filled cap is removed from the container. The cap is then inverted again and a pushbutton pressed to dispense sterile liquid from a cap spray nozzle without requiring the user's lips to touch the cap.

Abstract: A sprayer includes a spray gun and a hopper. An air source provides compressed air to the sprayer to both eject fluid from the spray gun as a spray and to pressurize the hopper. The spray gun includes passages for providing compressed air to the nozzle for spraying and to the hopper for pressurizing the hopper. The spray gun further includes a relief valve for venting pressurized air from the hopper. The hopper receives the compressed air through a port in the hopper, and the compressed air assists the flow of material out of the hopper and into the spray gun.

Abstract: Nozzles for an air duct arrangement of an air conveying system may include a first outlet nozzle that is divided into a plurality of chambers are disclosed. The plurality of chambers formed by the outlet provide for a more uniform flow of air exiting the outlet, which generates a greater induced air flow in an associated section of duct. An orientation of a second outlet relative to an inlet of the nozzle provides for a reduced head loss within the nozzle, thereby providing for reduced backpressure within the nozzle and, consequently, a reduced power consumption associated with generating a desired airflow through the nozzle.
