An epoxy coating can be applied to a round surface by keeping the round surface in constant motion, thus defeating the tendency of the epoxy to run off the outer surface of the round object. The process is aided by mechanical equipment that rotates the cylindrical object about its center, while also permitting adjustment of rotational speed.

Methods and associated systems for preparing a nano-protective coating are disclosed. The method includes (1) placing a substrate in a reaction chamber of a nano-coating preparation equipment; (2) introducing an inert gas, wherein the inert gas includes helium (He) and/or argon (Ar); (3) turning on a movement mechanism so that the substrate is moved in the reaction chamber; (4) introducing a first monomer vapor into the reaction chamber to achieve a vacuum degree of 30-300 mTorr; (5) turning on a plasma discharge for chemical vapor deposition; and (6) introducing a second monomer vapor into the reaction chamber to form an organosilicon nano-coating on a surface of the substrate.

A method for manufacturing a golf ball having a non-uniform dot pattern is provided. Firstly, a semi-finished product of a golf ball is provided, which includes a ball body and a base layer covering an outer surface of the ball body. After that, the semi-finished product of the golf ball is rotated at a predetermined rotation speed, and a color paint is applied to the semi-finished product of the golf ball in a spraying manner from each of an upper position and a lower position.

An optical device coating assembly is provided. The optical device coating assembly includes a substrate support operable to retain an optical device substrate. The coating assembly further includes a first actuator connected to the substrate support. The first actuator is configured to rotate the substrate support. The coating assembly includes a holder configured to hold a coating applicator against an edge of the optical device substrate when the optical device substrate is rotated on the substrate support and a second actuator operable to apply a force on the holder in a direction towards the substrate support. The second actuator is a constant force actuator.

A substrate processing apparatus includes: a rotation support table capable of supporting and rotating a substrate; a chemical liquid nozzle that is arranged above an outer edge portion of the substrate that is supported by the rotation support table, and through which a chemical liquid is applied to the outer edge portion; and a solidified film forming unit that is arranged at least either on an upper side or on a lower side of the outer edge portion of the substrate that is supported by the rotation support table, and on a downstream side, in a direction of rotation of the substrate, of a position where the chemical liquid nozzle is arranged, and solidifies the chemical liquid applied to the outer edge portion, to form a solidified film that forms a part of an annular film.

A method of manufacturing a tubular member for an exhaust gas treatment device according to at least one embodiment of the present invention, the tubular member including a tubular main body made of a metal and an insulating layer formed on at least an inner peripheral surface of the tubular main body, the insulating layer containing glass, includes steps of: forming a coating film by bringing a coating liquid for insulating layer formation supplied to the tubular main body into contact with a contact member; and firing the coating film to obtain the insulating layer.

An expandable attachment for securing a beverage container to a turner can include a linkage with arms, each of the arms having opposite ends, a grip pad pivotably attached to an end of each of the arms, the grip pad being configured to grip an interior surface of the beverage container, a threaded member, a base, the threaded member being rigidly secured to the base, and an end of an arm being pivotably attached to the base, another base, the threaded member being axially displaceable through the second base, and an end of the other arm being pivotably attached to the second base, and an adjustment wheel having threads therein engaged with threads of the threaded member. A method can include inserting an expandable attachment into a beverage container, and rotating a portion of the expandable attachment, thereby radially outwardly displacing grip pads of the expandable attachment.

A substrate processing apparatus includes a chamber body having an upper opening, a chamber lid part having a lower opening, and a shield plate arranged in a lid internal space of the chamber lid part. The radial dimension of the shield plate is greater than that of the lower opening. Covering the upper opening of the chamber body with the chamber lid part forms a chamber that internally houses a substrate. In the substrate processing apparatus, before the substrate is conveyed and the chamber is formed, the lid internal space of the chamber lid part is filled with the gas supplied from a gas supply part, in a state in which the shield plate overlaps with the lower opening. This allows the chamber to be quickly filled with the gas to achieve a desired low oxygen atmosphere after the formation of the chamber.

A post-cure inflation machine for processing a tire may include a tire holder shaft. The tire holder shaft may include a chuck to secure the tire to the tire holder shaft. A hollow passage may be defined in the tire holder shaft. A spray nozzle may be connected to a spray shaft that is telescopically disposed in the hollow passage of the tire holder shaft. The spray nozzle may extend to spray an air barrier material onto the tire.
