Abstract:
A fluid application device having a contact nozzle assembly with a fluidic oscillator is provided. The fluid application device includes an applicator head and a nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly includes a first conduit configured to receive a first fluid from the applicator head, a second conduit configured to receive a second fluid from the applicator head and an application conduit including a receptacle and first and second branches. The receptacle is fluidically connected with the first conduit and configured to receive the first fluid. The first and second branches are fluidically connected to the second conduit and receptacle and are configured to receive the second fluid. The nozzle assembly further includes an orifice fluidically connected to the application conduit and configured to discharge the first fluid for application onto a strand of material, and a guide slot extending from the orifice and configured to receive the strand of material.

Disclosed is a method and system for direct three-dimensional printing onto an article of apparel, including designing a three-dimensional pattern for printing onto the article, positioning at least a portion of the article on a tray in a three-dimensional printing system, the portion being positioned substantially flat on the tray, printing a three-dimensional material directly onto the article using the designed pattern, curing the printed material, and removing the article from the three-dimensional printing system.
Abstract:
A hybrid plasma processing system and methods for manufacturing and operating same are disclosed. The hybrid plasma processing system includes an RF-powered lower electrode for supporting the substrate during processing and a hybrid upper electrode disposed in a spaced-apart relationship above the lower electrode. The hybrid upper electrode may be thermally controlled and includes a first plate formed of a first material having a first electrical resistivity, a conductive grounded plate having therein a plurality of radial slots and disposed above the first plate. The conductive plate is formed of a second material having a second electrical resistivity different from the first electrical resistivity. The hybrid upper electrode also includes an RF-powered inductive coil disposed above the conductive ground plate.
