The at least two stages of dam plates are arranged along the traveling direction.

A material deposition system and method is disclosed for depositing material onto raised features on a surface of a substrate. The material deposition system and method are a contact deposition or printing system and method, which employs biased rollerball to deposit the material as it travels along the substrate and over the raised features.

An applicator, for applying a glutinous substance to a seam between a first part and a second part, comprises a roller, comprising a circumferential surface, and a housing, comprising a delivery port, a scraper, and a shaper. The roller is coupled to the housing and is rotatable relative to the housing about an axis. The circumferential surface of the roller is communicatively coupled with the delivery port. The intersection of the circumferential surface and a virtual plane, passing through the axis, is a non-linear segment. The scraper is geometrically complementary at least with the non-linear segment. The shaper is communicatively coupled with the scraper.

The liquid absorption unit includes a liquid absorbing member configured to absorb the liquid component, a support unit configured to support the liquid absorbing member to be movable cyclically, an applying unit arranged in a moving path of the liquid absorbing member and configured to apply a moisturizing liquid while contacting the liquid absorbing member, and a supply unit configured to supply the moisturizing liquid to the applying unit. The printing apparatus includes a control unit configured to control a supply amount of the moisturizing liquid to the applying unit supplied by the supply unit.

A system may include: a coating form roller; a metering roller adjacent to the coating form roller; and a sealing chamber. The sealing chamber may include first and second blades that engage with the coating form roller and the metering roller, respectively.

[Object] To reduce heat damage to a film when a lithium layer is formed on the film by using a roll-to-roll system.

[Solving Means] A roll-to-roll deposition apparatus includes a vacuum chamber, a film travel mechanism, a lithium source, and a first roller. The vacuum chamber is capable of maintaining a reduced-pressure state. The film travel mechanism is capable of causing a film to travel inside the vacuum chamber. The lithium source is capable of making lithium melt inside the vacuum chamber. The first roller is disposed between a deposition surface of the film and the lithium source. The first roller has a transfer pattern that receives the molten lithium from the lithium source. The first roller transfers a pattern of a lithium layer corresponding to the transfer pattern to the deposition surface while being rotated.

The invention relates to a method for providing a coating lay for a label web (100), the method comprising arranging a substrate, applying a metered coating (121) in a contactless manner onto a surface of a coating roll (510), and transferring the coating (121) from the coating roll (510) onto the substrate (140) in a nip (515) thereby forming a coating layer onto the substrate, wherein, in the nip (515), the surface of the coating roll (510) is running in an opposite direction to a movement of the substrate (140), thereby obtaining the coating layer for a label web. The invention further relates to a system for providing a coating lay for a label web (100). The invention further relates to method for manufacturing a label web.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for conducting assays on samples and/or processing of samples. The apparatus comprises a rotatably arranged cylindrical sample holder for holding a sample at a lateral surface of the cylindrical sample holder. The cylindrical sample holder is configured to be at least partly covered by a liquid layer. The apparatus further comprises a liquid dispensing means configured to add liquid to the liquid layer, a reagent dispensing means configured to add a reagent to the liquid layer and a liquid contacting means configured to distribute liquid within said liquid layer. The liquid contacting means comprises a plate-like element flexibly assembled in relation to the cylindrical sample holder. The present invention also relates to a method for conducting assays on samples and/or processing of samples.

A gravure coater test apparatus includes a gravure roll and a backup roll which are circumscribed to each other, a motor which drives the gravure roll partially submerged in a water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive for coating, a controller which adjusts the rotational speed of the motor, a doctor blade which is selected from a plurality of types to scrape the water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive from the surface of the gravure roll being rotated, and an infrared analyzer which allows at least one of the type of the water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive corresponding to the selected doctor blade, the uniformity of the coating surface, and the amount of the coated water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive to be confirmed.

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.
