    Abstract: A system and methodology for rehydrating perishable items (e.g., flowers, fresh food items, such as fruits, vegetables, other produce, and nuts) during storage and transportation thereof. The osmotic rehydration apparatus includes a pressurized chamber, a humidifier, an ozone generator, an electrostatic sprayer, a reservoir containing saline, and an air compressor. The perishable items are placed in the osmotic chamber under positive pressure. A film of saline solution is applied to the surface of the perishable items via an electrostatic sprayer. The saline/chlorine film on the perishable items is dried, and the osmotic chamber is saturated with ozone gas via an ozone generator. The osmotic chamber is then saturated with tiny pure water droplets via a humidifier or an electrostatic sprayer. The pressure within the chamber is raised to a pressure above atmospheric pressure. The osmotic chamber is then placed inside a cooler at a temperature slightly above freezing.

    Abstract: A method of depositing material to manufacture an electrostatic chuck is provided. The method first deposits at least one layer of a first dielectric material on a handle using spin coating and/or direct spraying method. A functional electric layer is next deposited on the at least one layer of the first dielectric material. Finally, the electrostatic chuck if formed by depositing at least one layer of a second dielectric material on the functional electric layer and the first dielectric material using spin coating and/or direct spraying method.
