According to examples, a substrate may be moved through a magnetic field, in which the substrate includes a fluid carrier containing magnetically-orientable flakes. The magnetic field may influence the magnetically-orientable flakes to be respectively oriented in one of multiple orientations. In addition, during movement of the substrate through the magnetic field, radiation may be applied onto a plurality of selected portions of the fluid carrier through at least one opening in a mask to cure the fluid carrier at the plurality of selected portions and fix the magnetically-orientable flakes in the plurality of selected portions at the respective angular orientations as influenced by the magnetic field.

A method for producing a layered structure in a multi-component process includes the steps of: generating a basic substrate composed of a transparent plastic, in particular of polycarbonate, in a first manufacturing step, and coating the basic substrate with a transparent resin layer, in particular composed of polyurethane, in a second manufacturing step.

An object of the present invention is to provide a film forming method capable of improving a film forming speed in the film formation by an aerosol deposition. The object is achieved by aerosolizing a raw material liquid including a film forming material, supplying the generated aerosol to a base material vibrating at a frequency of 10 kHz or less, and forming a film including the film forming material on the base material.

A manufacturing method of a mask assembly includes forming a cell mask including masking patterns and a mesh frame including conductive patterns disposed to correspond to the masking patters and disposing the cell mask and the mesh frame on a mask frame. The forming the cell mask and the mesh frame includes forming a polymer layer, a conductive layer, and a hard masking layer, forming a mask pattern layer including etch patterns, and forming the cell mask and the mesh frame using the mask pattern layer.

A tape assembly for masking an object to be painted and method of use is provided. The tape assembly is defined by a tape body having an anterior side, a posterior side, a body first edge, and an opposing body second edge. The tape body includes a first portion including a first substrate having a first adhesive layer on a posterior side of the first substrate, a second portion including a second substrate having a second adhesive layer on an anterior side of the second substrate, and a third portion including a third substrate having a third adhesive layer on a posterior side of the third substrate. The first and third portions partially overlap with the second portion in opposing first and second overlapping regions, respectively.

A reversible corner shield apparatus and methods of use, v-shaped or angled shaped shield having a first linear shield member or wing and a second linear shield member or wing which are connected or joined at an apex therebetween, a mount or connector positioned proximate the apex between the first linear shield member or wing and a second linear shield member or wing, a hinged connector attached to the mount on a first end of the hinged connector and an elongated handle connected to a second end of the hinged connector to enable rotation between the handle and the shield and, thus, functions to assist a solo painter in rotating and positioning the shield around inner and outer corners of flooring, baseboard, door and window trim or ceiling to shield these non-painted surfaces from over-paint, over spray, uneven transition lines, unsightly paint dabs and the like.

Disclosed is a method of coating an object made of a first material and a second material that is different from the first material. The method includes dispensing a polymer solution onto the object, wherein the polymer solution has a property that wets one of the first material and the second material and dewets the other one of the first material and the second material.
