Aspects herein are directed to an article of apparel having a vent opening formed by overlapping the edges of a first panel and a second panel. A plurality of discrete overlay film structures are applied to the second panel adjacent to the vent opening. When the article of apparel is exposed to an external stimulus, the film structures undergo a reversible increase in dimension in at least the z-direction which cause the second panel of material to undergo a reversible decrease in dimension in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the vent opening thereby causing the vent opening to dynamically transition from a closed state to an open state.

Disclosed is droplet ejecting apparatus that ejects droplets of a functional liquid onto a workpiece to draw a pattern. The droplet ejecting apparatus includes: a workpiece table; a droplet ejecting head configured to eject the droplets onto the workpiece placed on the workpiece table; a movement mechanism configured to relatively move the workpiece table and the droplet ejecting head in a main scanning direction and a sub-scanning direction; and a control unit configured to: detect a position of the workpiece or a position of the workpiece table while relatively moving the workpiece table and the droplet ejecting head along a plurality of scanning lines extending in the main scanning direction and set side by side in the sub-scanning direction; and create, based on a detection result, a correction table that indicates a correlation between a position of the movement mechanism and a positional correction amount of the workpiece table.

An end effector, for adhesively attaching a first part to a second part, comprises a support, a first nozzle, movable relative to the support, and a second nozzle, movable relative to the support. The first nozzle comprises a first-nozzle-body outlet port and a first-nozzle separator plate. The second nozzle comprises a second-nozzle-body outlet port and a second-nozzle separator plate. The end effector additionally comprises a first ultrasonic-sensor roller that is rotatable relative to the support, translationally fixed relative to support, and located between the first nozzle and the second nozzle. The end effector also comprises a second ultrasonic-sensor roller that is rotatable relative to the support, translationally fixed relative to support, and located between the first ultrasonic-sensor roller and the second nozzle.
