Patent number: 12458195Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products relating to a dynamic dispensing system. Embodiments may include a dishwasher including a washing chamber, a water supply, an additive supply, and a plurality of fluid supply lines that provide fluid communication between the water supply and the washing chamber and the additive supply and the washing chamber. The dishwasher includes one or more pumps that direct additives stored in the additive supply to the washing chamber and water from the water supply to the washing chamber. The dishwasher further includes a tank sensor within the washing chamber and a controller communicably coupled to the controller. The controller may receive and analyze signals from the tank sensor to determine an additive concentration within the washing chamber and cause additive or water to be added to the washing chamber in response to the signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2024Date of Patent: November 4, 2025Assignee: Champion Industries, Inc.Inventors: Nick Walker, Thomas J.

Patent number: 5263850Abstract: A system for the for the control of exhaust gas emissions, such as NO.sub.x and SO.sub.x, from an oil-fired burner is disclosed. In the system, a heavier, less expensive grade of fuel oil, such as #6 oil, is burned, and the emissions from the burner are continuously monitored. If the concentration of NO.sub.x and/or SO.sub.x in the exhaust gas is greater than a predetermined threshold concentration, a lighter, more expensive grade of fuel oil, such as #2 oil, is blended with the heavier oil to reduce the concentration of NO.sub.x and/or SO.sub.x. A control valve in the lighter grade fuel oil line is controlled automatically in response to the measured concentration of NO.sub.x and/or SO.sub.x to blend into the heavier oil only the necessary amount of lighter oil. Thus, if the concentration of NO.sub.x and/or SO.sub.x in the exhaust gases from the blended oils is less than the predetermined threshold concentration, less of the lighter oil is blended with the heavier oil.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 1992Date of Patent: November 23, 1993Assignee: Boston Thermal Energy CorporationInventor: Thomas J.
