연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

A system for applying particulate materials comprising a supply source of pressurized gas, a chamber with first and second opposed side walls, at least one pressurized gas entrance conduit for transporting pressurized gas to the chamber, at least one material hopper for depositing particulate material into the chamber, and at least one pressurized gas exit conduit for transporting particulate material away from the chamber. The wand is flexible and is manually controlled so that the user can control the exact direction in which the particulate material is to be focused. The wand includes a switch which sends a signal to a signal-actuated valve which is coupled to the entrance conduit. Upon receiving the appropriate signal, the signal-actuated valve adjusts so as to alter the flow of particulate material. The apparatus is powered by a motor source which maintains an optimum pressure range inside the entrance conduit through the use of a feedback loop operating between the motor source, the compressor, a pressure valve and a throttle. The apparatus is of the appropriate size so as to be mounted on a vehicle. le and positioned to permit fluid under pressure to flow through an orifice thereof and to be injected into the expansion chamber by way of a second opening so that the fluid under pressure will create a fluid flow within the expansion chamber along the guide surface for causing a greater velocity of particle flow from the expansion chamber of the nozzle in the direction of the extension of the guide surface when it is oriented at least partially horizontally than would occur under gravity alone. 2. The particle dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the fluid assist system further comprises a fluid pressure supply line connected to the orifice defining element and connectable to a pressurized fluid source. 3. The particle dispensing device of claim 2, wherein the orifice defining element includes an internal chamber that has a larger open area in transverse cross section than the orifice thereof, the internal chamber also being open from a side thereof that is connected to the fluid pressure supply line. 4. The particle dispensing device of claim 3, wherein the orifice defining element further includes a surface feature at a side thereof that is positioned within the expansion chamber, and which surface feature modifies the fluid flow from the orifice into the expansion chamber. 5. The particle dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the nozzle further comprises a bottom guide plate and a top plate spaced from the bottom guide plate by at least one side wall, the side wall, bottom guide plate and the top plate forming the expansion chamber. 6. The particle dispensing device of claim 5, wherein the bottom guide plate extends beyond the open side of the expansion chamber and provides the guide surface for guiding particles along a portion of the nozzle as they are ejected from the expansion chamber. 7. The particle dispensing device of claim 6, further comprising at least one side guide element that also extends in the direction of the bottom guide plate from the expansion chamber so as to laterally limit the flow of particles from the nozzle and to guide the particles from the nozzle. 8. The particle dispensing device of claim 7, wherein the bottom guide plate diverges from the opening of the expansion chamber. 9. The particle dispensing device of claim 8, wherein the side guide element is adjustably connected to the nozzle so that it can be positioned at a first position substantially aligned with a diverging side edge of the bottom guide plate and at another position over a surface of the bottom guide plate. 10.
