Abstract:
A method of fabricating an elastomeric structure, comprising: forming a first elastomeric layer on top of a first micromachined mold, the first micromachined mold having a first raised protrusion which forms a first recess extending along a bottom surface of the first elastomeric layer; forming a second elastomeric layer on top of a second micromachined mold, the second micromachined mold having a second raised protrusion which forms a second recess extending along a bottom surface of the second elastomeric layer; bonding the bottom surface of the second elastomeric layer onto a top surface of the first elastomeric layer such that a control channel forms in the second recess between the first and second elastomeric layers; and positioning the first elastomeric layer on top of a planar substrate such that a flow channel forms in the first recess between the first elastomeric layer and the planar substrate.

Abstract:
A method for applying a coating to an object comprises the steps of preparing a coating solution comprising a solvent and a solute composition of the desired coating, cooling an object to a temperature that is below the freezing temperature of the coating solution, immersing the object into the coating solution, leaving the object immersed in the coating solution long enough for a frozen layer of solution to form on the object, removing the object from the coating solution, removing any excess liquid from the frozen surface, and allowing the object to cure by placing it in an environment in which the solvent is released from said frozen layer.
Abstract:
A nozzle unit having a pressure nozzle for spraying feed liquid and a cylindrical outer tube disposed around the pressure nozzle for high-speed gas blowing. The tip of the nozzle unit is of converging construction. When the feed liquid water is sprayed at low pressure in the nozzle unit, the feed liquid is atomized to fine droplets.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a coating composition rapidly curable at room temperature in the presence of a vaporous tertiary amine catalyst which comprises catechol or a catechol derivative, a multi-isocyanate curing agent, and preferably a fugitive organic solvent.
Abstract:
AN APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REPRODUCIBLY SPRAY PAINTING A SUBSTRATE WHEREBY THE TEXTURE OF A SPRAY PAINTED SURFACE CAN BE UNIFORMLY DUPLICATED REGARDLESS OF TIME, LOCATION OR CLIMATIC CONDITIONS TO PRODUCE A SUBSTRATE WHICH CAN BE USED TO QUALITY CONTROL PAINT COLOR BASED ON AN INSTRUMENTAL COMPARISON OF THE PAINTED SUBSTRATES.
