An apparatus (10) for conveying abrasive web (16) of indeterminate length, such as photographic media, has first and second closely spaced rollers (12, 14) with at least one of the rollers (12, 14) having a polymeric/inorganic composite media bearing surface (70). The abrasive web or media (16) is disposed between a nip (18) defined by the close spacing between the rollers (12, 14) and is in moving contact with the polymeric/inorganic composite media bearing surface (70) while being conveyed through the nip (18).

A method of making micro-actuator devices including a silicon wafer, a magnet positioned inside an insulated actuating chamber having electrical coil wound around its circumference thereby forming an electromagnet assemblage. A plurality of etched holes in silicon wafer receives the electromagnet assemblage and is adapted to produce a magnetic field in response to an applied current that acts on the magnet to cause the axial reciprocating motion of the magnet.

An integrated micro-ceramic chemical plant having a unitary ceramic body formed from multiple ceramic layers in the "green" state which are sintered together includes the unitary ceramic body defining a reaction chamber and a first passage for providing communication with the catalytic reaction chamber so that two or more fluids may be delivered to such reaction chamber for reaction; the unitary ceramic body defining a receiving chamber connected to the reaction chamber. The integrated micro-ceramic chemical plant further includes a movable member insertable into the receiving chamber and having a plurality of micro- filters for separating the reaction products so as to retrieve desired reaction products; and the movable member is moved to a position where one of the micro filters is in communication with the reaction chamber for separating the reaction products.

An ink jet head has body having a plurality of independent ink compartments each having an inlet orifice, an outlet orifice and a piezoelectric ink actuating element structurally associated with each of said independent ink compartments, said piezoelectric ink actuating element enabling said ink jet head to receive ink from an ink reservoir in fluid communications with said inlet orifice of each one of said plurality of independent ink compartments and then eject droplets of the ink onto a receiver to form an image. The piezoelectric actuating element includes a substantially planar piezoelectric transducer comprising a slab of piezoelectric material having a functionally gradient d-coefficient selected so that the slab changes geometry in response to an applied voltage which produces an electric field in the slab.

A method of making a printhead includes forming a channel member by providing a mold having a top portion having peaks and valleys and by tape casting a slurry of piezoelectric material into the mold and onto the peaks and valleys of the top portion of the mold to form a tape cast member having a bottom surface with peaks and valleys and a flat top surface and removing the tape cast member. After removing the tape cast member, the top surface of the tape cast member is embossed so as to provide peaks and valleys in opposite sides of the tape cast member wherein the valleys in the top surface are disposed in an offset relationship to the peaks in the bottom surface. Thereafter, the embossed tape cast member is poled to align the electrical dipoles within the piezoelectric material; and a coating of conductive material is formed over the top and bottom surfaces of the tape cast member and then cutting grooves through conductive coating into the top surface in the valleys of the tape cast member to form a channel member. Finally, an orifice plate is provided over top surface of the channel member and a substrate over the bottom surface of the channel member.

A method of fabricating a modulator for modulating an incident beam of light includes a substrate having a cavity formed therein and a plurality of spaced-apart deformable elements formed in the cavity. The deformable elements each has a base layer, a poled magnetic layer formed in the base layer and a first light reflection layer deposited on the magnetic layer for reflecting an incident beam of light. Between adjacent deformable elements on the base of the cavity is arranged a second light reflection layer. A conductive element formed in the substrate electro-magnetically energizes the deformable elements to deflect in the cavity. Incident light passing through each one of the first light reflection layers is caused to destructively interfere with light reflected from the second light reflection layers thereby causing modulation of the incident light.
