A method of controlling application of material onto a substrate is provided. The method includes ejecting an ultraviolet (UV) curable material through a plurality of micro-applicators in the form of atomized droplets. At least one UV light source is positioned adjacent to the plurality of micro-applicators and the atomized droplets are irradiated with UV light by the at least one UV light source and curing of the atomized droplets is initiated. The atomized droplets are deposited onto a surface of the substrate and a UV cured coating on the surface is formed thereon. The UV curable material may include a photolatent base catalyst such that the atomized droplets deposited onto the surface continue to cure after being irradiated with the at least one UV light source. The at least one UV light source can include a UV light ring, a UV light emitting diode, and the like.

A sprayer that produces the pressure for a fluid spray without the requirement of mechanical energy in the form of a manual or battery-powered compressor or fluid pump. The sprayer utilizes a handle and vent system incorporated into the bottle and a shut-off placed at the nozzle of a telescoping wand which work together to enable atmospheric pressure to produce the intended fluid flow and spray, and yet also employ a needed closed system to contain the fluid.

A dry powder coating apparatus for coating pharmaceutical solid dosage forms includes a housing; a drum coater; a powder coating system; a liquid spray system; a ventilation system; a heating system; a touch screen control panel; and an operation box. The drum coater may have a truncated cone on both sides, in which one side is opened and another side is closed. The drum coater is horizontally placed inside the operation box along its axis and fixed on a rotatable shaft and a motor drives the rotatable shaft and rotates the drum coater about its own axis.

A tripod hose spray nozzle attachment for providing an elevated, aimable, water stream includes a tripod platform having a top side and a bottom side. The top side has a hose aperture extending through the bottom side. A plurality of legs is coupled to the bottom side and to form a tripod base. A hose fitting is coupled to the bottom side and is in fluid communication with the hose aperture. A flexible hose neck is coupled to the top side and is in fluid communication with the hose aperture. An adjustable spray nozzle has an attachment end coupled to a distal end of the flexible hose neck and a spray end having a plurality of apertures to release the water from the flexible hose neck. The spray end has an adjustment mechanism to alter the flow rate and concentration of the water.

A system and method have been shown for the effective implementation of a height and rotational adjustment system for a plurality of spray guns for use in a line striper.

An atomizer for applying a coating includes a nozzle plate, an actuator, and an acoustic focusing device. The nozzle plate defines at least one aperture. The actuator is configured to oscillate to form pressure waves within a fluid to eject the fluid from the nozzle plate. The acoustic focusing device focuses the pressure waves toward the apertures.
