  • Patent number: 11724272
    Abstract: A system includes a material sensor system having an inlet and an outlet. The inlet receives a flow of a material and the outlet outputs the flow of the material. The material sensor system includes an inner cavity having a surface, where the inner cavity receives the flow of the material. The material sensor system also includes a float system having one or more floats, where the one or more floats float within the material of the inner cavity. The material sensor system also includes a switch that sends one or more signals to a control valve system when the float system engages the surface of the inner cavity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11267010
    Abstract: A system having a material sensor system coupled to a material tank is provided. The material tank is configured to receive a quantity of the material and output a flow of the material. The material sensor system includes a float system coupled to an inner surface of the material tank. The float system includes a float configured float within a float cavity. The material sensor system includes a switch coupled to an outer surface of the material tank. The switch is communicatively coupled to the float system through a wall of the material tank, and the switch is configured to send one or more signals to a control system when the float engages the switch.

  • Patent number: 10480494
    Abstract: A system includes a pump. The pump includes a piston configured to axially reciprocate within a body. The axial movement of the piston activates a first chamber valve and a second chamber valve. The system also includes a main valve configured to direct a flow to the pump to facilitate the axial movement which then transfers a fluid from a reservoir to a spray applicator. The system includes a runaway valve system fluidly coupled to the main valve and configured to detect a runaway state of the pump. The runaway valve system is configured to direct the main valve to stop operation of the pump in response to detection of the runaway state.
