A plating apparatus 1 can perform plating processes by supplying plating liquids onto a surface of a substrate 2. The plating apparatus 1 includes a substrate rotating holder configured to hold and rotate the substrate 2; plating liquid supply units 29 and 30 configured to supply different kinds of plating liquids onto the surface of the substrate 2; a plating liquid drain unit 31 configured to drain out the plating liquids dispersed from the substrate 2 depending on the kinds of the plating liquids; and a controller 32 configured to control the substrate rotating holder 25, the plating liquid supply units 29 and 30, the plating liquid drain unit 31. While the substrate 2 is held and rotated, the plating processes are performed on the surface of the substrate 2 in sequence by supplying the different kinds of the plating liquids onto the surface of the substrate 2.

A method and product for creating a customizable fabric for specific end-use composites is provided. This method includes creating a three-dimensional matrix on woven fabrics, such as glass or carbon fiber fabrics via the addition of nanoparticles and a coupling agent; and, attaching a functional group compatible to specific resins dependent upon end use. The resulting product is a resin-free fabric with specific functional groups attached, ready to receive a particular polymer resin. Alternatively, the process may continue through to the addition of a polymer resin, resulting in a completed composite product.

A process for printing multiple layers on a fabric or other material using UV-curable ink that includes a step of printing a first layer on the material and another step of partially curing the first layer. A next step includes printing a partially UV-transparent layer over the first layer and fully curing the UV-transparent layer while simultaneously fully curing the first layer.

In various embodiments, a solid oxide fuel cell is fabricated in part by disposing a functional layer between the cathode and the solid electrolyte.

Paper-based single cell arrays are provided, as well as methods of making and using the arrays. The invention provides a low cost, high-throughput platform to detect and quantify different types of DNA damage at point-of-care without expensive equipment or highly trained personnel. Ordinary paper can be covered with multiple layers of common printing ink and micro-patterned to form discrete and ordered arrays capable of binding a single cell, which are then lysed and imaged. The platform allows quick and inexpensive testing of multiple anti-cancer treatment options for a particular patient. The invention can make cancer treatment personalized and more effective, even in low-resource settings.

A method for fabricating a solid state battery device. The device can include electrochemically active layers and an overlaying barrier material, with an inter-digitated layer structure configured with a post terminated lead structure. The method can include forming a plurality of battery device cell regions (1-N) formed in a multi-stacked configuration, wherein each of the battery device cell regions comprises a first current collector and a second current collector. The method can also include forming a thickness of a first and second lead material to cause formation of a first and second lead structure to interconnect each of the first and second current collectors associated with each of the plurality of battery device cell regions and to isolate each of the second current collectors extending spatially outside of the battery device cell region within a first and second isolated region, respectively.

The present disclosure relates to use of an aqueous dispersion of siloxane for reducing grain puffing of a wood substrate and an article comprising an anti grain puffing coating. The article comprises (a) a wood substrate having at least one major surface; (b) an anti grain puffing coating directly applied on the major surface of the wood substrate, formed from an aqueous dispersion of siloxane; and (c) one or more coatings applied on the anti grain puffing coating, formed from an aqueous coating composition, wherein the siloxane contains one or more hydrophobic group and one or more hydrophilic group chemically bonded to its molecule skeleton; and wherein the siloxane has a particle size in the range of 5 to 100 nm.

Systems and methods for coating surgical needles are provided.

A method and equipment to form a digital print by applying dry colourants on a surface of a panel, bonding a part of the colourants with a binder and removing the non-bonded colourants from the surface. The method of forming a digital print on a surface of a panel includes displacing the panel under a digital drop application head, applying a liquid binder with the digital drop application head on the surface; applying colourants on the liquid binder and the surface; bonding a part of the colourants to the surface with the liquid binder; removing non-bonded colourants from the surface such that a digital print is formed by the bonded colourants; and applying heat and pressure on the panel, the surface and the bonded colorants such that the colourants are permanently bonded to the surface.
