A method and apparatus for applying a bone attachment coating to a prosthetic component, the bone attachment coating being formed from a plurality of particles applied to a surface of the prosthetic component. The method comprising: locally exciting the particles so as to increase the kinetic and/or thermal energy of the particles; and applying pressure to the particles by virtue of a press arranged so as to press the particles against the surface of the prosthetic component at an interface between the press and the prosthetic component. The kinetic and/or thermal energy of the particles causes localised heating of the component such that the particles may be embedded into the surface of the prosthetic component.

A nozzle includes a body and a spoiler. The body has a fluid path, and an inlet and a spray orifice respectively located at opposite two sides of the fluid path. The spoiler is detachably disposed in the fluid path, and includes a barrier plate parallel to the inlet, wherein the barrier plate has grooves, and each groove has a through hole.

An indirectly heated capillary aerosol generator comprises a capillary tube adapted to form an aerosol when liquid material in the capillary tube is heated to volatilize at least some of the liquid material therein and a thermally conductive material in thermal contact with the capillary tube. The indirectly heated capillary aerosol generator provides substantially even and uniform heating across the heated length of the capillary tube.

The present invention relates to a wireless air compressor capable of having its battery power sources recharged wirelessly. By being able to be recharged wirelessly, the present invention decreases the clutter in beauty and barber shops by eliminating the need for a separate AC power supply or power strip that would normally be required to recharge battery power sources.
