In some embodiments, a printer system may include a location sensor, a motor and driver assembly configured for adjusting a print position of a subsequent image on a substrate having a first side and a second side and at least one wireless communication device, and an optical sensor. Adjustment of the print position may be based on detection of the wireless communication device using the location sensor and a subsequent determination of whether the corresponding printed image is properly aligned with the wireless communication device using the optical sensor.

A fabric coating composition, comprising from 2 to 50 dry parts of a crosslinking polymer, from 5 to 60 dry parts of a polymeric binder; from 2 to 30 dry parts of pigment fixation agents, parts are based on total dry content of the coating composition; a pH control agent in an amount adjusted to have a pH above 7; and an aqueous liquid vehicle is described. The coating composition is used to be applied to a fabric print medium. Also described herein are a coated fabric printable medium, a method for forming the coated fabric printable medium and a method of textile printing that includes ejecting an ink composition onto the coated fabric print medium described herein.

A retransfer printing process that prevents dust and other contaminants from becoming statically or otherwise attached to the transfer layer of the retransfer film and/or to the print ribbon used to print on the retransfer film. In the described process, some or all of the unused retransfer film is rewound back onto the retransfer film supply and/or some or all of the unused print ribbon is rewound onto the print ribbon supply, for example until the next print job is submitted.

According to embodiments of the present disclosure a micro-device comprises a frame and a component separated from the frame by a gap except where the component is connected to the frame with cantilever supports extending from the component to the frame. The internal frame contour of the frame can be non-rectangular. The external contour of the frame can be rectangular. The frame can follow the external contour of the component and cantilever supports except where the cantilever supports are connected to the frame. The internal or external contour of the frame can comprise slits extending into the frame. The gap separating the frame from the component can have a uniform width except where the cantilever supports are connected to the frame. In some embodiments, a micro-device is disposed on a target substrate comprising a cavity and the component is suspended over the cavity.

A laminated vehicle glass has an outer glass, an intermediate layer arrangement, an inner glass, a first color carrier and a second color carrier. The outer glass is at least partly adhesively bonded to the inner glass via the intermediate layer arrangement. The first color carrier is formed as a print with a first printing ink on the inner side of the outer glass. The second color carrier is formed as a print with a printing ink or as a film and has a second color. The second color carrier is provided in at least some regions on the side of the first color carrier that faces away from the outer glass. The first color and second color are different, at least in some regions. The second color is provided in a frame-like region of the laminated vehicle glass.

The present invention relates to fan cover (6), in particular a fan cover (6) for a cooking appliance (1), obtainable by a process characterised by the following steps, a) providing a fan cover (6) having an inner surface (7a), an outer surface (7b) and at least one opening (8) allowing a fluid to flow through, b) pretreating of at least the inner surface (7a) of the fan cover (6) for providing a surface having a roughness being suitable for applying a non-stick and/or non-wetting coating (12) by mechanical treatment, physical treatment or chemical treatment, in particular by sandblasting and/or laser treatment and/or an enamelling process to form a ground layer (13), c) applying the non-stick and/or non-wetting coating (12) to the inner surface (7a) of the fan cover (6) or the surface (14a) of the ground layer (13), wherein the non-stick and/or non-wetting coating (12) comprises at least one layer (17) that is obtained by a sol-gel process from a first composition comprising a silica sol and a silane. The invention further relates to a cooking appliance (1), in particular a domestic oven comprising such a fan cover (6) and a method for manufacturing such a fan cover (6).

The present invention relates to component, in particular a top plate (2) for a gas hob (1) and/or a burner cap (6a, 6b) of a gas burner (5a, 5b) for a gas hob (1), having a non-stick and/or non-wetting coating (12) obtainable by a process characterised by the following steps, a) providing a component, in particular a top plate (2) and/or a burner cap (6a, 6b), having an upper surface (7a) and a bottom surface (11b), b) preferably, pretreating of at least the upper surface of the component, in particular the top plate or the burner cap, for providing a surface having a roughness being suitable for applying a non-stick and/or non-wetting coating, by mechanical treatment, physical treatment or chemical treatment, in particular by sand-blasting and/or laser treatment and/or a surface activation treatment, particularly a plasma treatment, and/or an enameling process to form a ground layer (13), thus applying an enamel layer onto the upper surface of the component, in particular the top plate or the burner cap, c) applying the non-stick and/or non-wetting coating (12) to the upper surface (11a) of the component, in particular a top plate (2) and/or a burner cap (6a, 6b), or the surface (14a) of the ground layer (13), wherein the non-stick and/or non-wetting coating (12) comprises at least one layer (17) that is obtained by a sol-gel process from a first composition comprising a silica sol and a silane.
