A drop draw and extrusion method that creates anchor points around, within, or around and within, the region where a two dimensional fibrous architecture is deposited. Between the anchor points, a nozzle translates at high speeds to draw, extrude, or draw and extrude (depending on the print settings), a filament from the nozzle and build a two dimensional network of filaments connected by the anchors. Webbed architectures fabricated using the methods described herein exhibit superior structural properties.

A method for manufacturing a target object coated with a coating substance, whose edge face portions and flat face portion can be covered with the coating substance with a predetermined thickness, is provided. The target object T includes a flat face portion Tf and an edge face portion Te continuous from the portion Tf which includes a coating flat surface Tsp formed thereon which has a flat face. The portion Te includes a coating edge surface Tsc which includes at least one of a curved surface or a flat surface that is not parallel to the surface Tsp. The method includes a coating substance supply step of supplying the substance R along at least the surface Tsp, and an edge face portion coating substance adjustment step of adjusting the substance R supplied to the surface Tsc or moved from the surface Tsp to cover the surface Tsc at a predetermined thickness.

A method for manufacturing a value document includes: providing a value document substrate; printing the value document substrate with magnetically orientable effect pigments which are dispersed in a UV-curable lacquer; the step of exposing the lacquer containing the magnetically orientable effect pigments to a dynamic magnetic field; the step of irradiating the lacquer containing the effect pigments with UV radiation; and optionally the step of embossing the cured or at least partially cured UV lacquer.

A method for applying a multi-layer coating includes passing a substrate through a nip defined by two rolls to apply a first thickness of a first liquid coating material, applying a second liquid coating material on the first liquid coating material having the first thickness as applied by passing through the nip, and controlling a thickness of the applied second liquid coating material.

The invention provides a method and apparatus for treating at least part of an edge of an acoustic panel, and acoustic panels with such an edge treatment.

A method and related apparatus for generating a surface structure includes the steps of: (A) applying a resin A on the surface of a material; (B) applying a liquid B on at least one portion of the resin A, when the resin A is liquid or partially solidified; (C) polymerizing, also separately, the resin A and the liquid B; and (D) removing the polymerized liquid B.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a coating method, a coating bar head and a coating apparatus which enables coating in which changes in coating film thickness is less likely to occur, even when performing meniscus coating at a high speed. This coating method is a coating method including: supplying a coating liquid between a coating bar head and a substrate to form a meniscus; and moving the substrate, wherein a cross section of the coating surface of the bar head in the direction of coating, is a convex curve, and has bending points at both ends of the curve.

A device and method for applying a material to a hard surface. The device has a sensor and one or more applicator nozzles. The device further includes a reservoir for containing a material to be deposited, and a CPU. The method includes providing information from the sensor about the surface to the CPU, which uses the information to identify where the material is to be deposited and/or how much to deposit.

A resin material for a sliding member includes 80 vol % or more of a polyimide resin, 9.5 vol % or more and 20 vol % or less in total of graphite and a hard substance, and 0.1 wt % or more of a silane coupling agent relative to the polyimide resin, and a balance of residual inevitable impurities.
