Abstract:
A fluid dispensing system and a method of controlling a fluid dispensing system are disclosed. The fluid dispensing system includes a source of a fluid, a dispensing nozzle, and a spray system. The spray system supplies fluid from the source of fluid to the dispensing nozzle using system parameters for the spray system. The spray system and dispensing nozzle are configured to dispense the fluid as a stream or spray as an actual fluid pattern according to one or more first system parameters that are intended to produce a first fluid pattern. A camera is configured to capture one or more images of the actual fluid pattern dispensed from the dispensing nozzle. A controller is operatively connected to the spray system and the camera.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of controlling a fluid dispensing system, the method comprising:\n forwarding instructions to a spray system of the fluid dispensing system to dispense the fluid through a dispensing nozzle according to one or more first system parameters intended to produce a first fluid pattern; receiving one or more images of a first actual fluid pattern dispensed by the dispensing nozzle from a camera; determining, based on the one or more images, first actual fluid pattern information of the first actual fluid pattern; comparing the first actual fluid pattern information to first fluid pattern information for the first fluid pattern; determining, based on the comparison of the first actual fluid pattern information to the first fluid pattern information, that the first actual fluid pattern is outside tolerances set for the first fluid pattern; forwarding, based on the determination that the first actual fluid pattern is outside tolerances set for the first fluid pattern, one or more second system parameters to the spray system to produce a second actual fluid pattern.
