Abstract: An automated mobile sprayer (AMS) (12) is configured to apply stripes of fluid to target surfaces to coat those target surfaces with the fluid. A control module (24) of the AMS (12) controls movement and spraying by the AMS. The control module (24) causes the AMS (12) to follow a target surface based on distance data from distance sensors configured to detect the target surface.

Abstract: An automated mobile sprayer (AMS) (10) applies fluid sprays to a target surface. The AMS can operate according to a wall-follow routine, where the AMS maintains a spacing and orientation relative to the target surface and shifts a set distance between each spray pass. The AMS is also operable in an overlap adjustment mode where a control module (24) of the AMS actively determines the distance that AMS shifts between each spray pass such that AMS applies the final orthogonal spray on the target surface at an end point of the target surface.

Abstract: A compartmentalized transport refrigeration system which holds selected set point temperatures in at least first and second served spaces via heating and cooling cycles. The system includes a refrigerant circuit having high and low pressure sides, including a compressor, a condenser, a receiver, at least first and second evaporator sections respectively associated with the first and second served spaces, an accumulator, and a mode selector valve having heating and cooling positions. Control provides a heat signal when the need for a heating cycle in one of the served spaces is detected. The receiver is connected to the low pressure side of the refrigerant circuit for a predetermined period of time in response to the heat signal. At the end of the period of time the mode selector valve is operated from the cooling position to the heating position, and the connection between the receiver and low pressure side is terminated.
