Technology plays a vital role in our lives to meet basic hygiene necessities. Currently, the whole world is facing an epidemic situation and the practice of using sanitizers is common nowadays. Sanitizers are used by people to sanitize their hands and bodies. It is also used for sanitizing objects that come into contact with the machine. While sanitizing a small area, people manage to sanitize via pumps, but it becomes difficult to sanitize the same area every day. One of the most severe sanitation concerns is a simple, economic and efficient method to adequately clean the indoor and outdoor environments. In particular, effective sanitization is required for people working in a clinical environment. Recently, some commonly used sanitizer techniques include electric sanitizer spray guns, electric sanitizer disinfectants, etc. However, these sanitizers are not automated, which means a person is required to roam personally with the device to every place to spray the disinfectant or sanitize an area. Therefore, a novel, cost-effective automatic sanitizing machine (ASM) named ASMBoT is designed that can dispense the sanitizer effectively by solving the aforementioned problems.

Dynamometer cards can reflect different down-hole working conditions of sucker rod pumping wells. It has great significances to realize multiple fault diagnosis for actual oilfield production. In this paper, the extension theory is used to build a matter-element model to describe the fault diagnosis problem of the sucker rod pumping wells. The correlation function is used to calculate the correlation degree between the diagnostic fault and many standard fault types. The diagnosed sample and many possible fault types are divided into different combinations according to the correlation degree; the F-statistics of each combination is calculated and the “unbiased transformation” is used to find the mean of interval vectors. Larger F-statistics means greater differences within the faults classification; and the minimum F-statistics reflects the real multiple fault types. Case study shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Substituting neodymium with ferrite based magnets comes with the penalty of significant reduced magnetic field energy. Several possibilities to compensate for the negative effects of a lower remanence and coercivity provided by ferrite magnets are presented and finally combined into the development of a new kind of BLDC-machine design. The new design is compared to a conventional machine on the application example of an electric 800 W/48 V automotive coolant pump.
