An apparatus for manufacturing a display apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a stage that has a first surface and a second surface. A display substrate is arranged on the first surface, and the second surface is opposite to the first surface. The apparatus also includes a jig facing the second surface, a heat transfer unit arranged on the jig and including a protrusion pin protruding toward the second surface, and a laser unit configured to irradiate a laser beam to the heat transfer unit.

A printing mechanism for a sample container is provided with a receiving end provided with a receiving rack, the receiving rack being connected with a fixed receiving plate and a movable receiving plate, wherein corresponding receiving trough and falling channel are formed by splicing and separating the fixed receiving plate and the movable receiving plate; and a discharging end provided with a rotating assembly that receives a sample container falling in the falling channel and drives the sample container to rotate to align an unprinted blank region on the sample container with a printing assembly.

This disclosure relates to advanced image signal processing technology including encoded signals and digital watermarking. One claim is directed to a container comprising: a 3004 or 3003 aluminum alloy shell, the shell comprising an outer surface and an inner surface; a first layer of transparent ink printed on the outer surface as a flood within a first region; a second layer of the transparent ink printed over the first layer of transparent ink within the first region, in which the second layer of the transparent ink is printed to include a plurality of holes without any transparent ink printed therein; an opaque ink printed within the plurality of holes of the second layer of transparent ink on first layer of transparent ink within the first region, in which: i) the outer surface/first layer/second layer, and ii) the outer surface/first layer/opaque ink comprise a spectral reflectance difference at a machine-vision wavelength in the range of 8%-35%, and in which the plurality of holes are arranged in a 2-dimensional pattern according to a machine-readable signal, the 2-dimensional pattern being machine-readable from imagery captured of the first region. Of course, other containers, methods, packages, objects, systems, technology and apparatus are described in this disclosure.

A system for manufacturing structural members with coated main and side surfaces, the system comprising at least one structural member having at least one main surface; at least one side surface which is obliquely oriented relative to the main surface; and a coating apparatus operative, in a single pass over the structural member, to deposit at least one coating on said at least one structural member including said at least one main surface and said at least one side surface.

A liquid discharge apparatus includes a head and circuitry. The head discharges liquid to apply the liquid to an application surface. The circuitry controls discharge of the liquid from the head based on a vertical height of an application position at which the liquid is applied on the application surface.

A liquid discharge apparatus to discharge liquid to apply the liquid to an object includes a head, a mover, a rotator, and processing circuitry. The head has a nozzle surface in which a plurality of nozzle rows each including a plurality of nozzles to discharge the liquid are arranged. The mover relatively moves the head and the object in each of a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to each other along the nozzle surface. The rotator rotates the head along the nozzle surface. The processing circuitry controls the relative movement to correct unevenness of a nozzle interval between the plurality of nozzles along the second direction caused by an inclination between the first direction and a third direction when the head is rotated. The third direction is a direction in which the plurality of nozzles are arranged in each of the plurality of nozzle rows.

A high-speed continuous rotary type filling and packaging machine can identifies a defective filling head and a defective seal head and it also identify which part of a seal working surface in the seal head has a defect. In a sealing device of the high-seed continuous rotary type filling and packaging machine that covers a container body, which is filled with liquid contents, with a molded lid and seals the container body and the molded lid to produce a sealed container, a filling head number and a seal head number are inkjet-printed, desirably transparent ink, which can be read by irradiation of an ultraviolet ray, on a container body in which a seal working surface in the seal head and the top surface of the container molded lid are brought into press-contact and a positional relation between a seal working surface and the sealed container is fixed.

An untethered, arbitrary-surface printing device includes a housing, a print head, positioning means, locomotive means, and sensors configured to perform multi-pass high-precision printing (i.e. at least 300 dots per inch) on nearly any surface texture.

A printer housing with an upper portion and a lower portion with a cavity there between and wherein the upper portion and lower portion are connected by one or more hinges such that the housing opens about the hinged connection between the upper portion and the lower portion to expose the cavity there between. The hinged connection allows the upper portion to be lifted up with respect to the lower portion to expose one or more printer components for access through the cavity. One or more hinges secure the upper portion to the lower portion and wherein the one or more hinges are positioned on a same perimeter side of the housing such that the housing opens about one side.

An apparatus (and a corresponding operation method) for automated maskless painting of an external paint on a complex surface using a coloring agent, wherein the complex surface is part of an aircraft. The apparatus comprises a multi-axis robot comprising at least one applicator for the coloring agent, wherein the at least one applicator is configured to apply the coloring agent to the complex surface using a coloring agent ejection technology.
