A method of coating a surface, preparing a doped metal-ion precursor solution for coating, and an article including a component coated by the described method are disclosed. The method of coating includes applying a fluoro-silane doped metal-ion precursor solution on the surface to form a coated surface. The metal-ion precursor solution includes greater than about 0.6 molar percent concentration of a metal-ion precursor in a solvent comprising an alcohol. The method of preparing the doped metal-ion precursor solution includes dissolving a metal-ion precursor in a solvent comprising an alcohol at a temperature greater than about 100° C. and refluxing at a temperature greater than about 150° C. such that the concentration of metal-ion precursor in the solution is greater than 0.6 molar percent of the solution, and adding a fluoro-silane to the metal-ion precursor solution.

A hybrid multichannel porous structure for processing between two fluid streams of different compositions includes a housing and one or more structures disposed within the cavity of the housing in a shell and tube configuration. Each structure includes a body made of a porous, inorganic material and a plurality of channels for processing an optional sweep stream. Each channel is coated with a membrane layer. A feed stream introduced into the housing is in direct contact with the structures such that a gas selectively permeates through the body and into the channels. The gas combines with the sweep stream to form a permeate that exits from each channel. The remaining feed stream forms a retentate that exits from the housing. The feed stream may consist of syngas containing hydrogen gas and the sweep stream may contain nitrogen gas. A power plant that incorporates the hybrid structure is disclosed.

The invention provides a drop-on-demand printer having a row of ink ejection locations for ejecting plural ink droplets, each ejection location having an associated ejection electrode for causing electrostatic ejection of the droplets from the respective ejection location. An intermediate electrode system has one or more rows of intermediate electrodes 3 spaced from the ejection locations between the ejection locations and a substrate on to which the droplets are printed during use. Plural conductive tracks 5 are provided, each corresponding to a respective intermediate or ejection electrode 3 and supplying a voltage to an electrode in use. Tracks 5 have a resistive element 14 either disposed immediately adjacent the corresponding electrode or actually forming the electrode 3.

A semiconductor self-pulsating laser diode (1) comprises a wave guiding layer (2) sandwiched between lower and upper cladding layers (4, 5). A current blocking layer (8) defining a slot (10) through which pumping current is directed through the laser diode between upper and lower contact plates (5, 6) defines an active wave guiding region (15). The current blocking layer (8) is shaped by the formation of longitudinally extending recesses (12) for defining the active wave guiding region (15) such that a central pulse light generating region (17) is formed surrounded by an outer light propagating region (18). As the laser diode is continuously pumped, an effective step change in refractive index between the wave guiding layer (2) and the outer light propagating region (18) is formed, and the carrier density and refractive index profiles across the active wave guiding region (15) vary as each light pulse cycle progresses. Initially, the carrier density in the central pulse light generating region 17 rises relative to the carrier density in the light propagating region 18 until the difference between the refractive index of the pulse light generating region 17 and the refractive index of the light propagating region 18 is at its greatest, and the carrier density of the pulse light generating region 17 reaches its lasing threshold value. At this stage lasing commences in the active wave guiding region 15. Lasing in the pulse light generating region 17 progressively reduces the carrier density therein, which in turn progressively reduces the relative difference between the refractive index of the pulse light generating region 17 and the light propagating region 18 until the refractive index of the pulse light generating region 17 approaches the refractive index of the light propagating region 18, thereby increasing guiding of lasing light into the pulse light generating region 17 for emission of the light pulse therefrom. At that stage the carrier density of the active wave guiding region 15 falls below its lasing threshold value, thus extinguishing the lasing light, and the next light pulse cycle commences.
