The method comprises the steps of receiving a dispensing time, receiving a working interval, receiving a plurality of working days, and dispensing the material from the container during the dispensing time, during the working interval and on one of the plurality of working days.
Claims22
An apparatus for dispensing material from a container, comprising:
- a valve connected to the container whereby the valve allows the material to escape from the container;
- a motor connected to the valve for actuating the valve;
- and
- a controller in signal communication with the motor, wherein said controller performs the steps of:
- receiving a dispensing time;
- receiving a working interval;
- receiving a plurality of working days;
- and
- controlling and activating the motor during the dispensing time, during the working interval and on one of the plurality of working days.
An apparatus for dispensing material from a container, comprising:
- a valve connected to the container whereby the valve allows the material to escape from the container;
- a motor connected to the valve for actuating the valve;
- and
- a controller in signal communication with the motor, wherein said controller performs the steps of:
- receiving a dispensing time;
- determining a dispensing interval based on the dispensing time;
- and
- controlling and activating the motor at a frequency inversely proportional to the dispensing interval.
