Claim:
1. A method for dispersing a fluid from a spray valve assembly according to a spray cycle to produce a spaced application pattern on a substrate, the method comprising: sending a first indication to an electrically controlled, first flow valve to allow a liquid adhesive to flow to a first inlet of a spray valve during a first phase of the spray cycle; during the first phase of the spray cycle, directing the spray valve to disperse the liquid adhesive in a pulsing non-atomized stream for a predefined period of time to apply liquid adhesive to a substrate; sending a second indication to the first flow valve to disallow the liquid adhesive to flow to the first inlet of the spray valve during a second phase of the spray cycle; emitting a liquid cleaner from the spray valve onto the substrate during the second phase of the spray cycle; and adjusting a spaced application pattern of adhesive applied to the substrate without interrupting a relative motion between the substrate and the spray valve assembly by changing the spray cycle, wherein the spaced application pattern of adhesive applied to the substrate comprises a plurality of segments of adhesive aligned in a row.
