Abstract: A fluid dispensing system includes a hot fluid control valve for controlling a flow of hot fluid through a hot fluid line, a tap fluid control valve for controlling a flow of tap fluid through a tap fluid line, a mixing line in fluid communication with the hot fluid line and the tap fluid line, one or more sensors for detecting a flow rate, a temperature, or both of fluid flowing through the mixing line, one or more probes for detecting a temperature of ambient air, a temperature of material, or both, and a controller configured to adjust the hot fluid control valve and the tap fluid control valve to achieve a target fluid temperature based on data collected by the probe.

Abstract: Active agent infused linear materials are provided with an infused surface that is infused with one or more dye molecules as well as methods of production. A method of forming an active agent infused linear material also as provided herein includes passing a substantially linear polymeric substrate through a linear substrate infusion chamber, and contacting the linear substrate with the liquid infusion solution at an infusion temperature and for an infusion time effective to infuse the one or more active molecules into or onto a surface of the linear substrate, thereby forming an active agent infused linear material. The liquid infusion solution includes one or more active molecules.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns an overpressure relief system that can be affixed to an enclosed vessel and provide an exhaust therein if the pressure exceeds a prescribed amount. The system functions by selection of a moveable weight that covers a pressure relief channel in connection with the vessel. As pressure passes a threshold, the weight is shifted upwards within the system, allowing the pressure relief channel to connect to an outlet. Overpressure may then be relieved through the outlet and the weight returns to close access to the outlet.

Abstract: A method of forming an active agent infused linear material includes passing a substantially linear polymeric substrate through a linear substrate infusion chamber in a first direction, flowing a liquid infusion solution through the linear substrate infusion chamber in a second direction, and contacting the linear substrate with the liquid infusion solution at an infusion temperature and for an infusion time effective to infuse the one or more active molecules into or onto a surface of the linear substrate, thereby forming an active agent infused linear material. The liquid infusion solution includes one or more active molecules. The second direction is substantially opposite or substantially parallel to the first direction. A linear substrate infusion system and a polymeric linear substrate are also disclosed.

Abstract: A vehicle parking guide includes an elongated body having a triangular cross-sectional shape. Included on one of the sides of the triangular body is an adhesive section. The adhesive section allows the triangular body to be selectively attached to a floor surface, such as that of a garage, to mark a desired parking location. The vehicle parking guide is positioned so that one of the tires of a vehicle must pass up and over the apex of the guide. The physical sensation of rolling up and over the triangular shape of the parking guide serves as feedback to the vehicle's driver to stop the vehicle after the parking guide is passed over, thereby parking the vehicle precisely at the predetermined parking location.

Abstract: A process of applying a fluid containing one or more additives to a surface of a linear substrate in a linear compartment. The process includes passing the linear substrate through first and second seals of the linear compartment, contacting the linear substrate with the fluid within a chamber within the linear compartment while an exposure gap has a first length that is greater than zero, the contacting being conducted for a time with the fluid at a temperature. The linear compartment is dimensionally reconfigurable, optionally during an infusion process.

Abstract: A polymeric linear substrate is provided with one or more active agents infused into the linear material to a depth less than the 100 micrometers, optionally where the polymeric linear substrate has a cross sectional dimension that does not exceed 2 centimeters. The polymeric material may include a polyamide, a polyester, polyvinylchloride, or polycarbonate. Also provided are systems for infusing a linear substrate with one or more active agents that includes a dye supply providing a dye; a process tank connected to the dye supply and providing a reservoir of a liquid infusion solution including the dye through the linear substrate infusion system; and a process chamber fluidly connected to the process tank for contacting the liquid infusion solution with a linear substrate effective to infuse the dye into a surface of the linear substrate.

Abstract: Provided are apparatuses for the processing of one or more components of a fluid into the surface of a linear substrate. The apparatuses include a processing barrel having a chamber defined therein as well as a linear substrate inlet and a linear substrate outlet. The processing barrel also includes a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet in fluid communication with the chamber. An exposure gap is defined between the linear substrate inlet and the linear substrate outlet. The chamber is dimensionally reconfigurable so that the exposure gap can have a length from zero to greater than zero.
