A method for treating a natural or synthetic leather object is provided. The method includes directing plasma onto a surface of an natural or synthetic object to form a plasma treated object, the object including at least one of a natural leather material and a synthetic leather material, applying adhesive onto the plasma treated object, and bonding the plasma treated object with a polymeric coating.

The present disclosure provides methods, device, and system for wafer processing. The wafer processing apparatus uses lid dispenser to disperse at least one reagent to the surface of the wafer. Further, the wafer is positioned on top of a rotatable vacuum chuck configured to spread at least one reagent over the surface of the wafer via a centrifugal force or surface tension, thereby permitting the at least one reagent to react with an additional reagent. Further, when dispensing the at least one reagent, a separation gap between the lid dispenser and the wafer is at a predetermined distance, for example, from 50 m to 2 mm.

A particulate-incorporating attachment for a drop spreader is provided that includes a two-portion mount bracket, an implement holder, and a rake/brush. The bracket portions are connected to form a mount bracket over the rest brace of the drop spreader. The mount bracket mounts or carries the implement holder, which supports the rake/brush in a suitable position to assist in the incorporation of infill material into the space between the grass tufts of synthetic turf or to assist in the incorporation of other dropped particulates into synthetic or natural turf or onto the ground.

A system for automatically dispensing a fluid from a deformable container onto a panel includes a primer head having a container receiver and a container deformer, the container receiver receiving and holding a container of primer thereat. An adapter is received into an opening of the container and is secured to a portion of the primer head, and the container is retained at the container receiver of the primer head. A primer tip is disposed at the adapter. With the container held at the container receiver and retained at the primer head, the primer head moves to position the primer tip at the panel. When the primer tip is positioned at the panel, the container deformer automatically operates to deform the container to cause a predetermined amount of primer to be dispensed from the container, through the adapter and to the primer tip and onto the panel.

A coating film forming method includes holding a substrate by a substrate holder; forming an air flow on a front surface of the substrate; supplying a coating liquid configured to form a coating film on the front surface; forming, after moving a covering member from a first position to a second position relatively to the substrate, the air flow in a gap formed by the covering member placed at the second position and the front surface of the substrate being rotated at a first rotation number such that a flow velocity of the air flow becomes larger than that of the air flow obtained when the covering member is placed at the first position; and rotating the substrate at a second rotation number higher than the first rotation number to adjust a film thickness distribution of the coating film by scattering the coating liquid from a peripheral portion thereof.

Portable hybrid system for application of any material of drywall compound material, paint material, and texture material by the hybrid system via any of a plurality of material expulsion outlet ports, comprising: a pressurizable hollow tank for carrying material, at least one air compressor for pressurizing the material from the tank, an optionally attachable paint roller subsystem, an optionally attachable paint sprayer subsystem, an optionally attachable drywall compound applicator subsystem, an optionally attachable texture applicator subsystem, and an optionally attachable edge-cutting porous paint pad subsystem, enabling a plurality of workers to apply a given material from a single tank of the material.

The coating device that has a rotatable spindle which has fastening mechanisms for fastening a rotation axle to the spindle. Protrusions are radially protruding from the spindle for spreading the coating substance on the inner surface of a pipe. The protrusions (12b) are flexible and plate-like strips that twist around the axis of their longest side so that the cross-sectional area of the protrusion, in the direction of the rotation axle of the spindle, is at its smallest at the outermost end. The protrusions have limiters that limit the coating substance to be spread to the desired layer thickness.

A method of dispensing a substance along a path is provided. The method includes supplying the substance to a dispenser. The method also includes moving the dispenser along a virtual travel plane parallel to the path and passing through two contact points of the dispenser, while maintaining a contact portion of the dispenser in communication with a surface. The method also includes monitoring a leading portion of the bead and generating a signal responsive to at least one characteristic of the leading portion. The method further includes controlling at least one of the speed of the dispenser along the path or the flow rate of the substance to the dispenser to provide a substantially uniform cross-sectional shape of the bead along the path.

A coating apparatus includes an open/close valve having a motor that allows control of opening operation and closing operation in accordance with electric signals applied from a controller. The coating apparatus further includes a suck back valve having a motor that allows control of a volume variation in a flow path for suck back that is in communication with an upstream side and a downstream side of a pipe in accordance with electric signals from the controller. The controller allows control of start of the closing operation of the open/close valve and start of suction operation of the suck back valve through application of the electric signals to the respective motors. This achieves simple adjustment of liquid cut-off.

A dimensionally stable universal floor covering includes a tufted textile having stitches and a reinforcement layer of fibers and adhesive providing dimensional stability for the entire floor covering. The fibers and adhesive are mixed and then moved by an applicator towards the stitches. A slip path is formed to improve the movement of the fibers and adhesive. A releasable adhesive or gecko-like cover system is provided which also provides additional strength and stability and a releasable attachment of the universal floor covering to a supporting surface.
