Embodiments, described herein relate generally to devices, systems, apparatus, and methods for producing lubricious surfaces that increase the ease of communication of viscous liquids across the same. The apparatus can include a container having an inner surface and a lubricating liquid disposed on a surface, the lubricating liquid including a surfactant. In some embodiments, a sprayer hub can rotate about a center axis and deliver the lubricating liquid to the inner surface. In some embodiments, a contact liquid can fill at least a portion of the container. In some embodiments, the surfactant can be an amphiphilic molecule that is substantially immiscible with the lubricating liquid and at least partially miscible with the contact liquid. In some embodiments, the surfactant can form a barrier at an interface between the lubricating liquid and the contact liquid.

A fluid dispensing system is described herein. In some embodiments, the fluid dispensing system includes a CDA cone constructed as a unitary body; a motor comprising a sealed housing resistant to liquid ingress, the motor configured to rotate the CDA cone around a central longitudinal axis of the CDA cone; and a reducer tube configured to deliver a fluid solution to the CDA cone.

The present invention relates to a disc (10) for a spinning disc liquid atomizer. A surface (20) of the disc comprises a plurality of concentric rings (30) having different radii centred on the centre of the disc. A first concentric ring (40) of an adjacent pair of concentric rings has a surface configured to exhibit a first level of adhesion to the liquid. A second concentric ring (50) of the adjacent pair of concentric rings has a surface configured to exhibit a second level of adhesion to the liquid, and wherein the first level of adhesion is less than the second level of adhesion.

This rotary atomizing head used in a rotary atomizing head type painting device is provided with: an atomizing head main body formed in a bell shape or a cup shape; an attachment part which is connected to the atomizing head main body and attaches the atomizing head main body to a motor rotary shaft of the rotary atomizing head type painting device; and a resin mold in which an IC tag containing unique information about the rotary atomizing head stored therein is embedded, and which is attached to the attachment part, wherein the attachment part can have a prescribed structure, the resin mold is attached to the attachment part through a prescribed method, and the IC tag is embedded in the resin mold such that the surface of an embedded coil antenna adopts a prescribed state.

A method is disclosed for additively manufacturing a composite structure. The method may include coating a continuous strand with a matrix, discharging a composite tubular structure made from the coated continuous strand, and exposing the matrix in the composite tubular structure to light to cure the matrix during discharging. The method may also include depositing a material layer onto an internal surface of the composite tubular structure as the composite tubular structure is being discharged, and wiping a squeegee over the material layer.

Coating apparatus (20) includes a pair of juxtaposed bodies (22, 24, 112, 114, 112a, 114a, 138, 140) defining a nip region (30, 126, 126a, 150) therebetween, with each presenting a periphery (26, 28, 116, 118, 116a, 118a, 144, 146) and being rotatable in opposite directions, respectively. The peripheries (26, 28, 116, 118, 116a, 118a, 144, 146) of the bodies (22, 24, 112, 114, 112a, 114a, 138, 140) are provided with a series of indentations (32, 120, 120a, 148). Liquid coating material is directed onto the bodies (22, 24, 112, 114, 112a, 114a, 138, 140) through an outlet (100, 110, 158) during rotation of the bodies (22, 24, 112, 114, 112a, 114a, 138, 140). This generates an adjustable spray or fog flow pattern (108) for effective coating of a substrate.

Coating apparatus (20) includes a pair of juxtaposed, cylindrical bodies (22, 24) defining a nip region (30) therebetween, with each presenting a periphery (26, 28) and being rotatable in opposite directions, respectively. The peripheries (26, 28) of the bodies (22, 24) are provided with a series of laterally extending notches (32), optionally oriented to provide chevron patterns (68) with apices (32a) and diverging legs (70a, 70b); the patterns (68) are positioned so that the apices (32a) first pass through the nip region (30), with the legs (70a, 70b) in trailing relationship. Liquid coating material is directed onto the bodies (22, 24) through an outlet (100, 110) during rotation of the bodies (22, 24). This generates an adjustable spray or fog flow pattern (108) from the apparatus (20) for effective coating of a substrate.

A coating apparatus is disclosed for applying an activated coating onto an internal surface of a conduit, the coating being activated by mixing at least a first and a second component. The apparatus includes a high-pressure mix gun for mixing the at least first and second components such that the activated coating is generated. A rotary atomizer is operatively connected to and cooperates with the high pressure mix gun for receiving the activated coating from the high pressure mix gun. The rotary atomizer cooperates with the activated coating such that the activated coating is atomized so that application of the atomized activated coating onto the internal surface of the conduit is permitted.

A head is disclosed for use with a continuous manufacturing system. The head may have a housing configured to receive a matrix and a continuous fiber, and a diverter located at an end of the housing. The diverter may be configured to divert radially outward a matrix-coated fiber. The head may also include a cutoff having an edge configured to press the matrix-coated fiber against the diverter.
