Abstract: An environmentally secure weather containment system for at least one chemical container comprising a primary container significantly nested within and sealingly mated with a secondary container, the primary tank having an exposed portion, the secondary container providing a housing for at least one pump and at least one port for at least one a power line or signal line above a 110% containment level.

Abstract: A hand-held vacuum device includes a housing to hold an electrical motor operable to drive a piston pump that is configured to draw a substantially continuous vacuum for each complete cycle of the piston pump. The hand-held vacuum device also includes an expansion chamber releasably connected to and in fluid communication with the housing and a vacuum interface that has a vacuum connector in fluid communication with the expansion chamber and is configured to releasably couple to a valve disposed on a container. The expansion chamber separates air and liquid from a fluid drawn into the expansion chamber.

Abstract: A dispensing device that can economically and reliably dispenses predetermined quantity of fluids accurately comprising an elongated rod with one or more through holes formed perpendicularly through its axis defining one or more fluid flow paths. Adjacent to each through hole is an angular fluid flow path with one section generally parallel to the through hole and another section generally perpendicular to the through hole. In the preferred embodiment, the through holes and the angular fluid flow paths are positioned alternately through most of the length of the elongated rod. The elongated rod slides within a base component that has corresponding openings to enable accurate and reliable dispensing of predetermined quantity of fluids through the controlled dispensing device.

Abstract: An automated apparatus for the simultaneous filling of precise quantities of viscous liquid material to a plurality of containers in a sanitary environment, including a sanitary pump for delivering under pressure the viscous liquid material to a viscous liquid material manifold, a pump pulsation dampening assembly for dampening any pulsating output produced by the sanitary pump, and a plurality of fill valves for simultaneously dispensing a precise amount of viscous liquid material to the containers during a filling operation.

Abstract: A paint brush assembly includes a control valve, a first rubber, a control rod, a connecting pipe, and a second rubber. Thus, the paint brush assembly has a two-stage anti-reverse effect, so that the paint contained in the container can be supplied into the barrel conveniently and can be supplied into the connecting pipe conveniently. In addition, the paint brush assembly has a two-stage anti-reverse effect, thereby preventing the paint from leaking.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and apparatus for delivering liquid precursors to semi-conductor processing apparatus. The liquid precursor delivery system is generally indicated at (10) and includes a source (11), an inlet tube (12), a two-way valve (13), a pump assembly (14), an outlet tube (15), a shut-off valve (16) and a flash evaporator (17). The pump assembly (14) is in the form of a syringe or variable volume pump and is controlled by a combination of a step motor (27) and a linear encoder (30). The arrangement is such that unused liquid precursor can be returned to the source.

Abstract: A filling nozzle with interception of supply liquids for filling machines, alignable with a container to be filled by liquid, comprising a shutter member (21) and an opening (18) in a hollow body (16), wherein the hollow body (16) is associated on the upper side with a supply system (12) for a liquid to be delivered into the container, the hollow body (16) being displaceable at least between an engaging position, wherein its opening (18) is closed by the shutter member (21), and a disengaging position, wherein the opening (21) is open and the liquid flows into the container, control members (33, 35, 36) being provided for the displacement of the hollow body (16).

Abstract: A battery acid filler apparatus and method are disclosed. The apparatus and method utilize a single, relatively large diameter tube to both fill and retract excess acid from a battery, at a single station by means of controlling the time of filling and the opposing pressures of acid pumps.

Abstract: In the equipment for drawing off milk samples from a milk conveyor pipe (1), in order to remove any milk remaining from the previous supplier and adhering within the suction pipe (5) and the injection syringe (6), before taking a sample from the current supplier the suction pipe (5) and the injection syringe (6) are filled with milk and after being completely filled they are emptied again by pumping the milk back into the conveyor pipe (1). The process of filling to fullness is monitored by a control means (9) which operates a hose pump (7) such that only the exact quantity of milk required to fill the suction pipe (5) and the injection syringe (6) is conveyed. Only after this filling and emptying procedure is the injection syringe (6) inserted into a sampling bottle (8) disposed on a dish (15) which can be raised. A holding down device (16, 17, 18) guarantees perfect withdrawl of the injection syringe (6) from the sampling bottle (8) when the dish (15) is lowered at the end of the sampling.
