  • Publication number: 20240299891
    Abstract: A chemical delivery system with dilution control includes a chemical delivery manifold with eductors each fluidly coupled to a valve configured to operate independently to selectively control flow of a motive fluid through a respective eductor. Metering devices are coupled to concentrated chemical lines and configured to control a rate of dispensing of the concentrated chemical passing therethrough to each of the eductors. Concentrated chemical flow rate sensors are coupled to each of these individual concentrated chemical lines and configured to measure a flow rate of the concentrated chemicals therethrough. A control unit receives a measured flow rate from each flow rate sensor and causes a respective metering device to adjust the rate of dispensing for one or more concentrated chemicals to control the flow rates of the concentrated chemicals and thereby individually control a dilution of each concentrated chemical in the motive fluid.

  • Publication number: 20240158220
    Abstract: An insert assembly for fluid management includes an engagement mechanism and a fluid distribution mechanism with a plurality of fluid connectors configured to transmit fluid therethrough, and a sleeve defining an opening. The fluid distribution mechanism is rotatably coupled to the engagement mechanism such that the two are rotatable relative to each other around a longitudinal axis of the engagement mechanism. An elongated tube extends through the sleeve and at least one valve is coupled to the plurality of fluid connectors by a corresponding fluid line. At a distal end of elongated tube, the elongated tube and valve are coupled via an attachment mechanism, which includes at least one receiving region for releasably receiving the valve. The attachment mechanism, elongated tube and valve form a distal assembly, which distal assembly is configured to be inserted into a port and rest at or near a bottom surface of a covered container.

  • Publication number: 20240159582
    Abstract: An optical chemical level-sensing device includes an elongated tube for insertion into a top opening of a storage container, with a portion extending above the top of the storage container, which couples to a sealed control unit. A float device resides in the elongated tube in the storage container containing a liquid chemical solution, which includes a target surface configured to reflect optical signals. The sealed control unit includes an optical time-of-flight sensor and a lens that serves as a physical barrier between the liquid chemical solution and the optical time-of-flight sensor, while also allowing optical signals to pass through. The optical time-of-flight sensor emits optical signals through the lens toward the target surface of the float device and measures a return time of reflections of the optical signals off of the target surface to determine a level of the liquid chemical solution within the storage container.

  • Patent number: 10778708
    Abstract: An index of network data is received, the index including network infrastructure data, network connection topology data and network devices data, collected in real time. Data describing one or more cybersecurity threat sources is received. Data describing communications occurring with devices within the network is received. The data describing the one or more cybersecurity threat sources and the data describing the communications occurring with devices within the network are analyzed to identify data describing possible security threats. The data describing the possible security threats is correlated with the index of network data to identify security threats to devices within the network.
