A method of forming an electronic device on a flexible substrate without using acetone dissolvent, including the steps of: printing a hydrophobic mask on a porous membrane to form a pattern thereon which is complementary to a desired pattern; filtering an aqueous suspension of an electronic material through the non-printed region of the porous membrane, whereby some electronic material is deposited on said non-printed region following the desired pattern; pressing the flexible substrate against the printed face of the membrane in order to transfer the patterned electronic material deposited on the porous membrane to the flexible substrate to form the electronic device thereon.

A viscous material noncontact jetting system has a jetting dispenser mounted for relative motion with respect to a surface. A control is operable to cause the jetting dispenser to jet a viscous material droplet that is applied to the surface as a viscous material dot. A device, such as a camera or weigh scale, is connected to the control and provides a feedback signal representing a size-related physical characteristic of the dot applied to the surface. The size-related physical characteristics of subsequently applied dots is controlled by heating and cooling, or adjusting a piston stroke in the jetting dispenser, in response to the size-related physical characteristic feedback. Dispensed material volume control and velocity offset compensation are also provided.

An electric-motor drive control device can suppress dripping of flux applied in a pre-soldering process when a printed circuit board is mounted on the back surface of a connector block. The electric-motor drive control device includes a connector block including a connection port in which a terminal is partially exposed and the exposed terminal is connected to a terminal of a counterpart connector, and an exterior part that is joined to the connector block and houses and seals a printed circuit board used for drive control of an electric motor. The connector block includes a soldered terminal that is the terminal protruding from the back surface of the connector block, the back surface facing a space in which the printed circuit board is housed, and a reservoir that is provided on the back surface and retains excess flux applied to and flowing away from the soldered terminal.
