Abstract: The nozzle clog detection device, system, and method detect if a liquid flows through a nozzle via conduction of electricity. The clog detector provides an open circuit at an opening between two conductors. The two conductors are placed in the flow path of a liquid flowing from a nozzle. The liquid from the nozzle conducts electricity. The liquid flowing through the opening between the conductors closes the circuit. An alert system notifies the user whether liquid is flowing through the nozzle. The system detects flow of liquid from multiple nozzles and identifies the nozzles from which liquid flows. A break in the circuit at the opening between the conductors indicates that the liquid is not flowing sufficiently enough to close the circuit.

Abstract: A method (200) for the characterization of vibrational and/or acoustic transfer path related data of a physical system (100) where vibration or acoustics may play a role. The method (200) has a step of receiving (210) input data for at least one input point of the physical system and/or response data for at least one response point of the physical system (100). The method (200) further has a step of receiving (220) at least one system response function between the at least one input point and the at least one response point indicative of the transfer of vibration and/or acoustic signals. The method (200) also has a step of applying (230) at least one parametric model characterising at least one load on the physical system as a function of the input data, where the parametric models are identified from the input data and/or response data and the physical system response functions.

Abstract: A lamp includes a discharge vessel; electrodes spaced apart in the discharge vessel comprising tungsten or tungsten alloy; and a fill sealed within the vessel having a pressure between 50-200 mbar. The fill includes: a starting gas which comprises: xenon, krypton, argon or combinations thereof with the exception of pure argon; optionally radioactive Kr85 with a maximum activity level of 0.124 MBq/l as part of the starting gas; and a metal halide component. The lamp includes an active tungsten regeneration cycle wherein the fill comprises a species of the tungsten or tungsten alloy of material of the electrodes during lamp operation, wherein the solubility of tungsten or components of tungsten alloy in the tungsten or tungsten alloy species is lower in a gas phase adjacent to the electrodes than at close proximity of the wall of the discharge vessel.

Abstract: A method (200) is described for the characterisation of vibrational and/or acoustic transfer path related data of a physical system (100). The physical system (100) thereby may be any physical system wherein vibration or acoustics may play a role. The method (200) comprises receiving (210) input data for at least one input point of the physical system and/or response data for at least one response point of the physical system (100). The method (200) further comprises receiving (220) at least one system response function between the at least one input point and the at least one response point indicative of the transfer of vibration and/or acoustic signals. The method (200) also comprises applying (230) at least one parametric model characterising at least one load on the physical system as a function of said input data, whereby the parametric models are identified from said input data and/or response data and said physical system response functions.
