A spray nozzle, systems and methods for cleaning at least one optical fiber end face of an optical fiber connector. The nozzle includes a housing body with a first end portion and a second end portion. A discharge passage carries an atomized mixture of cleaning fluid and positively pressurized air from the first end portion to a discharge opening at the second end portion. A vacuum return passage communicates with the discharge passage proximate the second end portion. The return passage receives the atomized mixture of cleaning fluid and positively pressurized air as well as contaminants removed from the optical fiber end face. A portion of the atomized mixture of cleaning fluid and positively pressurized air is diverted from the discharge passage to control the amount of the atomized mixture being directed at the optical fiber end face.

A self-rotating device for cleaning with ultra-high water pressure having a base supported by front and rear wheels with a handle extending therefrom. A spray bar assembly with a plurality of nozzles constructed and arranged to cause rotation of the spray bar through fluid discharge is mounted beneath the base. A hydraulic pump is positioned with spray bar and coupled to a reservoir mounted on the handle. The hydraulic pump is rotated by the spray bar assembly, causing hydraulic fluid to recirculate through the reservoir, wherein an adjustable flow valve permits control of the spray bar assembly rotation speed.

A method and system for powder coating non electrically conductive elements, preferably brake pads. A pre-treatment station is upstream of an electrostatic powder coating deposition station and a baking station for melting and polymerizing the powder coating in order to form a coating layer on a surface to be coated. The pre-treatment station causes the elements to be coated to conduct electrically by uniformly wetting said elements by means of creating poorly mineralized water covalent bonds on at least one surface to be coated, in an amount aimed at producing a measurable weight increase in the non electrically conductive elements, which then causes them to conduct electrically. The water adsorbed and/or deposited is subsequently eliminated within the baking station.

Method and system for thermal transfer printing are disclosed. The system comprises a transfer member having an imaging surface on the front side, a coating station at which a monolayer of particles made of, or coated with, a thermoplastic polymer is applied to the imaging surface, an imaging station at which electromagnetic radiation (EM) is applied via the rear side of the transfer member to selected regions of the particles-coated imaging surface to render the particles thereon tacky within the selected regions, and a transfer station at which only the regions of the particles coating that have been rendered tacky are transferred to a substrate. The transfer member includes on its rear side a body transparent to EM radiation and on its front side an EM radiation absorbing layer, the imaging surface being formed on, or as part of, the absorbing layer.

An apparatus for cooling a steel sheet includes: an apparatus body provided spaced apart from a steel sheet in the conveying path of the steel sheet; and a cooling unit provided in the apparatus body to supply a cooling fluid. The apparatus body includes: a first edge body that faces a first edge portion extending a certain distance from one side end of the steel sheet toward the center of the steel sheet; and a second edge body that faces a second edge portion extending a certain distance from the other side end of the steel sheet toward the center of the steel sheet. The first and second edge bodies may have stepped cross-sections in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the steel sheet.

A grinding apparatus includes an ultrasonic cleaning unit. The ultrasonic cleaning unit includes a pair of side walls that surround the inside and the outside of a base and grindstones, a bottom surface that connects the pair of side walls, a jet port that is formed in at least either of the side walls or the bottom surface and that jets a cleaning liquid toward at least either of the base or the grindstones, a cleaning liquid supply section that supplies the cleaning liquid to the jet port; an ultrasonic vibrator that applies an ultrasonic wave to the cleaning liquid supplied from the cleaning liquid supply section, and an electric power supply section that applies electric power to the ultrasonic vibrator.
