In one arrangement, a vibration system includes a vibratable plate, a support member surrounding the vibratable plate, and a vibration-inducing member surrounding the support member. The vibration-inducing member is configured to radially expand and contract against the support member so as to produce axial vibration of the vibratable plate. In another arrangement, the vibratable plate has an outer circumference; a tubular member is concentrically disposed about the outer circumference of the plate, and an annular vibration-inducing member is concentrically disposed about the outer circumference of the tubular member. The vibration-inducing member is preferably a piezoelectric ring that is radially expandable and contractable against the wall of the tubular member to cause the plate to vibrate in the axial direction.

A conductive element such as an antenna, for use in electronic devices, including mobile devices such as cellular phones, smartphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops, and wireless tablets, and methods of, and apparatus for, forming the same. In one exemplary aspect, the present disclosure relates to a conductive antenna formed using deposition of conductive fluids as well as the method and equipment for forming the same. In one embodiment, a complex (3D) conductive trace is formed using two or more different print technologies via creation of different domains within the conductive trace pattern.

The invention relates to applying a liquid to pasty hot-melt adhesive to a substrate (44), comprising a template (29), having at least one cavity (38) for the hot-melt adhesive, and also comprising an adhesive-transfer infeed (33), which is assigned to the template (29) and through which the adhesive can be introduced into the cavity (38). The special feature consists in that the apparatus (10) further comprises a transporting-fluid-supply opening (35), assigned to the template (29), and a device for displacing (13, 15), in particular pivoting, the template (29) between a first position, in which the cavity (38) is assigned to the adhesive-transfer infeed (33), and a second position, in which the cavity (38) is assigned to the transporting-fluid-supply opening (35), and therefore the adhesive, in the second position, can be discharged from the cavity (38) by a transporting fluid flowing through the transporting-fluid-supply opening (35).

A portable nebulizer includes a nebulizer body including a nozzle hole and an atomizer plate positioned in the nozzle hole, and a dust shield coupled to the nebulizer body and movable relative to the nebulizer body between a dust protection position where the dust shield shields the nozzle hole of the nebulizer body and an open position where the dust shield is kept away from the nozzle hole of the nebulizer body, thus, the dust shield is capable of protecting the nozzle hole of the portable nebulizer against environmental contamination.

The disclosed spray deposition systems and methods control the formation and dispensation of droplets during the atomization of a fluid. Such systems and methods generally can generate small quantities and droplets of a desired size of highly-viscous fluids and/or fluids having non-Newtonian properties or other complex rheologies using mechanical systems and processes with the option of further controlling the droplet size and/or the volume of droplets with various enhancements. The systems and methods stretch fluid between a fluid feed system and a surface and are able to form the controlled-volume of the droplets.
