    Abstract: Methods for modifying contours of substrate surfaces are disclosed. Methods include depositing filler material on a critical mating surface of a substrate so as to render the mating surface more mateable with a matching substrate. The filler material can be deposited within or around features or defects on the mating surface such that a final desired surface contour is achieved. In some cases, the final surface contour of the mating surface is planar. This can prevent gaps associated with the features or defects from forming between the substrate and the matching substrate when they are joined together. The final surface contour of the mating surface can be determined by comparing dimensions of the mating surface to dimensions of a reference surface. In some cases, ink jet printing techniques are used to deposit the filler material accurately in prescribed locations and with precise thickness control.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-layer coating film formation method in which the following are performed: a step in which a primer coating film is formed; a step in which a base coating film is formed; a step in which a clear coating film is formed; and a step in which these coating films are caused to harden simultaneously. The method satisfies at least: (A) the quantity of isocyanate at the interface between a coated article and the primer coating film is 1.5 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of resin solids in a primer coating material; or (B) the quantity of isocyanate at the interface between the primer coating film and the base coating film is 3.5 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of resin solids in a base coating material.

    Abstract: Operational characteristics of an extremely low resistance (“ELR”) film comprised of an ELR material may be improved by depositing a modifying material onto appropriate surfaces of the ELR film to create a modified ELR film. In some implementations of the invention, the ELR film may be in the form of a “c-film.” In some implementations of the invention, the ELR film may be in the form of an “a-b film,” an “a-film” or a “b-film.” The modified ELR film has improved operational characteristics over the ELR film alone or without the modifying material. Such operational characteristics may include operating in an ELR state at increased temperatures, carrying additional electrical charge, operating with improved magnetic properties, operating with improved mechanic properties or other improved operational characteristics. In some implementations of the invention, the ELR material is a mixed-valence copper-oxide perovskite, such as, but not limited to YBCO. In some implementations of the invention, the modifying material is a conductive material that bonds easily to oxygen, such as, but not limited to, chromium.

    Abstract: FF properties of a multilayer coating film configured to exhibit a red color through a lustrous layer (14) and a translucent colored layer (15) are improved to achieve a metallic textured color having a high-quality color tone. The lustrous layer (14) is configured such that Y(10°) is 50 or more and 950 or less and that Y(25°) is 0.05 or more and 0.35 or less times the Y(10°), where Y(10°) represents a Y value, of an XYZ color system, of reflected light measured at a light receiving angle of 10° and Y(25°) represents a Y value of the reflected light measured at the light receiving angle of 25° in a case where a light incident angle is 45°. An inclination of a tangent to the spectrum of the spectral transmittance of the colored layer (15) at the wavelength of 620 nm is 0.012 nm−1 or more and 0.03 nm−1 or less, defined as an absolute value.
