Abstract: A method is provided for controllably delivering an additive fluid into a host fluid in a target system at a desired volumetric flow rate. The method comprises: providing a binary supply injector connected in an additive fluid delivery system between a pressurized supply of the additive fluid and the target system. The binary supply injector is controllable between an ON state which permits flow of the additive fluid therethrough and an OFF state which prevents flow of the additive fluid therethrough. The method involves iteratively repeating: estimating a volumetric flow rate of the additive fluid between the pressurized supply and the target system; and if the estimated volumetric flow rate of the additive fluid is greater than the desired volumetric flow rate, controlling the supply injector to its OFF state; or if the estimated volumetric flow rate of the additive fluid is less than the desired volumetric flow rate, controlling the supply injector to its ON state.  Additive fluid delivery systems are also provided.

Abstract: The Smart Shovel is an attachment that can be attached to any snow shovel or can come as part of any Snow shovel. This invention make shovelling snow easier and less stressful on the back, joints, muscles and heart.   The Smart Shovel has special curved skies which can be attached to the lever arm/s of any shovel. (one on each side on a double lever shovels or one in the middle, on a single lever shovel).   This special ski attachment allows the Shovel to slide easily on the snow and ice and go over high snow banks enabling the snow in the scoop to be deposited on top of an existing snow bank/ pile.   Each ski is attached to a bar (or tube) which is called a Leg. The Legs are attached to the lever of the shovel, therefore allowing the shovel to slide.   easily over piled snow and makes dumping the snow on top of the piled snow easy, Instead of lifting the heavy shovel, full of heavy snow the shovel ca be emptied by simply pulling down on the Lever's handle.   The scoop with the heavy snow gets lifted up with no strain on the body. It does so by providing for leverage that is created by the pivoting action of the Skies and the pulling down by the user on the Lever's handle tilting the shovel's Lever handle upward will allow the snow to spill out from the shovel's scoop.
