An adhesive roller assembly is provided having a non-cylindrical roller. The non-cylindrical roller is rotatably affixed to a handle's distal end. In addition, adhesive tape is helically wrapped about the roller, and the adhesive tape includes perforations so as to facilitate the breaking of the adhesive tape into individual segments. Because the roller has a non-cylindrical circumferential surface, the adhesive tape is deformed to have a non-cylindrical exterior. The roller, and consequentially exterior of the adhesive tape, can take various forms. In preferred embodiments, the roller and tape exterior have a concave, convex, undulating, dimpled or bumpy surface. The adhesive tape is made of material providing increased elongation.

There is provided a reticle chuck cleaner A for cleaning a reticle chuck of an apparatus, as a reticle chuck cleaner that allows easy cleaning of a reticle chuck in a vacuum chamber of an apparatus without exposing the chamber to the atmosphere and contributes to improvement of the operating ratio of the apparatus, including: an adhesive layer 1 to be adhered to a chuck region of the reticle chuck; a support layer 2 laminated on the adhesive layer 1; and a substrate 3 having a shape capable of being carried to the reticle chuck, the support layer 2 and the substrate 3 being partially bonded together in an adhesive region 41 of a partial adhesive layer 4.

Provided is a method for manufacturing an electric field emission device. The method for manufacturing the electric field emission device includes winding a carbon nanotube yarn around outer circumferential surfaces of a metal plate in a first direction, pressing both side surfaces of the metal plate through a pair of metal structures, wherein a top surface of the metal plate is exposed from the metal structures, and an area of the top surface of the metal plate is less than that of each of both the side surfaces of the metal plate, and cutting the carbon nanotube yarn at an edge portion of the top surface of the metal plate in the first direction to form a plurality of emitters.

Paper is disclosed for use in making repositionable or removable adhesive labels. The adhesive can be applied in patches or discrete areas to the paper or to a layer of material that cleans rollers in the manufacturing line and/or in printers. The adhesive can be applied in single or multiple layers. The paper is light weight paper and preferably thermal paper for use in POS printers.

To provide a cleaner configured so that the cleaner can accurately remove dust and dirt, will leave less adhesive residue, and can sufficiently clean areas including an end surface of a ferrule and a guide pin. A cleaner is provided with an adhesive layer having an exposed surface facing an end surface of a connector from which a guide pin protrudes, the adhesive layer being elastically deformable when subjected to contact with the guide pin, and a holding part having a holding wall for holding the adhesive layer while exposing at least the exposed surface, the holding part being capable of bringing the guide pin into contact with the adhesive layer at a position at which the distance from the guide pin to the holding wall is greater than the length of the guide pin.

A cleaning assembly is disclosed. The cleaning assembly includes a substrate. One or more patterns are formed on a bottom side of the substrate. One or more structures within the one or more patterns attract one or more particles from a chuck via at least one of electrostatic attraction or mechanical trapping when the substrate is positioned on the chuck.

This document describes cleaning cards for cleaning the interior of media transport devices, methods of manufacturing such cleaning cards, and methods of using such cleaning cards. The cards include a first layer of a substrate having a cleaning sublayer and a base sublayer, along with a second layer having a cleaning sublayer and a base sublayer. The base sublayers are positioned against each other at a plurality of contact areas. A plurality of pockets within which the base sublayers do not contact each other are positioned between the base sublayers so that each pocket forms a raised cleaning element in each of the cleaning sublayers. Each of the pockets is bounded by one or more of the contact areas.

A cleaning material, device, and method for predictably cleaning the capillary tube for a wire bonding machine in which the cleaning pad has a predetermined configuration appropriate for the particular wire bonding machine and a substrate having a defined functionalized surface topology and geometry which can be introduced into the wire bonding machine during the normal wire bonding operations. The cleaning material has a predetermined topography with a plurality of functional 3-dimensional (3D) microstructures that provide performance characteristics which are not possible with a non-functionalized and flat surface.

Apparatus (10) for automatically removing an exhausted layer of adhesive material from an adhesive roll (12), said apparatus comprising an adhesive roll (12) comprising at least one layer of adhesive material (22), said at least one adhesive layer having first and second mutually opposing faces, said second face releasably attached to said adhesive roll and having a first adhesion force between said second face and an said adhesive roll; and an adhesive layer removal mechanism (14) comprising an outer surface arranged to operably engage said at least one layer of adhesive material of said adhesive roll and remove the same from said adhesive roll, said outer surface having a second adhesion force between said outer surface and said at least one layer of adhesive material, wherein said second adhesion force is greater than the first adhesion force.

Paper is disclosed for use in making repositionable or removable adhesive labels. The adhesive can be applied in patches or discrete areas to the paper or to a layer of material that cleans rollers in the manufacturing line and/or in printers. The adhesive can be applied in single or multiple layers. The paper is light weight paper and preferably thermal paper for use in POS printers.
