  • Patent number: 8631824
    Abstract: An apparatus, method and system provides for dispensing liquid products to two or more appliances. Liquid diluent is communicated through an anti-siphon valve (64) connected in fluid communication to an aspirator (14). A mixed solution from the aspirator (14) is communicated to a distribution valve (36) for directing flow of a liquid product to two or more appliances using a single aspirating dispenser (12).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 25, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 21, 2014
    Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.

  • Publication number: 20060283391
    Abstract: A gravity-fed in-line continuous processing system includes at least one processing chamber disposed between a first load lock and a second load lock. The second load lock is disposed lower than the first load lock. A first device isolates the processing chamber from the first load lock. A second device isolates the processing chamber from the second load lock. There is at least one track through the processing chamber and the first and second load locks. The track is structured and arranged such that an article slides thereon under the force of gravity.

  • Patent number: 6889564
    Abstract: A peak flow meter for measuring a peak flow or air exhaled by a patient. The preferred peak flow meter includes a substantially hollow housing having a top portion, a bottom portion, an air inlet and at two air outlets. A flow restriction is disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the air inlet. A vane assembly is disposed within the housing and includes a vane, a post to which the vane is fixedly attached, and a hub attached to the bottom portion of the housing. A torsion spring is engaged at one end to the hub and at the other to the post A visual indictor is movably disposed within the slot for indicating a peak flow rate of air based upon a movement of the vane and a scale is disposed proximate to the slot such that the location of the visual indicator may be related to a corresponding flow rate.
