Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for removing heat from subcutaneously disposed lipid-rich cells are disclosed. In selected embodiments, suction and/or heat removal sources are coupled to an applicator. The applicator includes a flexible portion and a rigid portion. The rigid portion includes a thermally conductive plate and a frame coupling the thermally conductive plate and the flexible portion. An interior cavity of the applicator is in fluid communication with the suction source, and the frame maintains contiguous engagement between the heat removal source and the thermally conductive plate.

Abstract: The solvent and air mixing system is used in an air solvent purging/cleaning system for an at least two liquid component mixing and applying system or a paint color changing system. The mixing and applying system includes at least two sources of liquid coupled to a mixer through respective control valves. An air solvent purging/cleaning system is provided including an air supply line and an air purge valve and a solvent supply line and a solvent purge valve coupled to the mixing and applying system or to a paint color changing system. A pneumatic valve control system is provided for controlling the supply of pressurized air to the air purge valve and for controlling the supply of solvent to the solvent purge valve. The solvent and air mixing system of the present invention includes a solvent and air mixing device having an air passageway coupled into the supply line for supplying pressurized air to the air purge valve. An air bleed backflow device is mounted in the pressurized air supply line.

Abstract: A coating apparatus for coating the interior surface of a relatively long, narrow pipe without any portion of the apparatus contacting the interior of the pipe has been provided, and comprises a mobile vehicle carrying a traveling boom on which is mounted a coating or spraying device for coating the pipe, an adjustment mechanism for moving the boom relative to the vehicle and to align the boom with the pipe, and a driving and supporting mechanism for the boom which drives and also supports the boom as it moves into and out of the relatively long, narrow pipe. In addition, several alternative embodiments of spraying devices for the coating apparatus are disclosed which eliminate or reduce "ghosting" or "shading" problems frequently experienced in coating such pipe.
