A system for applying a first coating composition and a second coating composition. The system includes a first high transfer efficiency applicator defining a first nozzle orifice and a second high transfer efficiency applicator defining a second nozzle orifice. The system further includes a substrate defining a target area. The first high transfer efficiency applicator is configured to expel the first coating composition through the first nozzle orifice to the target area of the substrate to form a first coating layer. The second high transfer efficiency applicator is configured to expel the second coating composition through the second nozzle orifice to the first coating layer to form a second coating layer.

A liquid application unit and a liquid application apparatus are provided, for which a liquid material can be readily resupplied or replaced. A liquid application unit includes: a plurality of application needle units each including an application needle and a liquid material container in which the liquid material is stored and from which the liquid material is supplied to the application needle; and a first driving unit configured to move the application needle relative to a target and the liquid material container in a first direction. The plurality of application needle units are integrally attachable to and detachable from the first driving unit.

A fluid micro-injection device comprises an execution system (100) and a flow channel assembly (200) connected with the execution system (100). The execution system (100) includes a base body (110), a movable member (120), an executor, an adjusting member (130) and a plurality of clearance sheets. The flow channel assembly (200) have a fluid seat (210), a nozzle (220) and a fluid supply joint (230).

In one example, a nozzle of a fluid material dispenser has a first nozzle body and a second nozzle body. The first body has a first inlet end, a first outlet end, a first outer surface extending, and a first inner surface. The first inner surface defines a first channel that can direct a fluid material from the first inlet end to the first outlet end. The second body has a second inlet end, a second outlet end, a second outer surface, and a second inner surface. The second inner surface defines a second channel that can receive at least a portion of the first nozzle body therein such that the first outer surface is inwardly spaced from the second inner surface so as to define a space between the first outer surface and the second inner surface. The space can direct a gas to the second outlet end.

A control unit obtains a captured image of a reference workpiece by a second image capturing unit after a droplet ejected from a droplet ejecting head lands toward a reference mark formed on an upper surface of the reference workpiece, detects a positional deviation amount of a position of the reference mark and a landing position of the droplet based on the captured image, and calculates the correction amounts of the relative positions of a workpiece table and a droplet ejecting head based on the positional deviation amount.

An apparatus for supplying a liquid medium to a metering unit comprises a housing in which media channels are arranged. One of the media channels is connected to a fluid reservoir that can be acted on by compressed air.

A coating composition for application to a substrate utilizing a high transfer efficiency applicator. The coating composition includes a carrier and a binder. The coating composition has an Ohnesorge number (Oh) of from about 0.01 to about 12.6, the coating composition has a Reynolds number (Re) of from about 0.02 to about 6,200, and the coating composition has a Deborah number (De) of from greater than 0 to about 1730.

Systems for creating electrodes for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells include an XY stage having a heated vacuum table physically coupled to the XY stage. The vacuum table has a working face with a plurality of channels formed therein to communicate vacuum pressure from a port coupled to a vacuum source to the channels. A sheet of perforated heat-conductive material has staggered holes configured to evenly distribute the vacuum pressure from the channels through the perforated sheet. A heat-conductive wire mesh is placed over the perforated sheet, and has openings smaller than the staggered holes such that a membrane material placed on the wire mesh is not deformed by the vacuum pressure. A nanopipette or micropipette coupled to a pump is configured to deposit electrode ink onto an exposed surface of the membrane material as the controller device causes the XY stage to move the vacuum table to control deposition of the electrode ink onto the surface of the membrane material.

A glue dispenser dispensing switch includes a switching device main body, a needle holding base, a wear-resistant plate, and a rotating device. The switching device main body is equipped with a double liquid inlet, the needle holding base is equipped with a mixed glue outlet, the wear-resistant plate is installed between the switching device main body and the needle holding base, and the wear-resistant plate is equipped with a wear-resistant plate opening. The rotating device is utilized to rotate the needle holding base or the wear-resistant plate. A mixed double-liquid glue passes through the double liquid inlet, the wear-resistant plate opening and the glue outlet to dispense a mixed glue while the double liquid inlet, the wear-resistant plate opening and the glue outlet are overlapped. In addition, a double liquid dispensing equipment is also disclosed herein.

A dispensing system includes a piezoelectric stack having a distal end and being configured to expand upon application of a voltage such that the distal end is moved by a first length. The system further includes an amplifier with a primary surface to contact the distal end of the stack and a secondary surface, a base configured to contact the secondary surface, and a valve assembly with an outlet orifice and valve element. The valve element is configured to move in first and second directions and is coupled with the amplifier. When the distal end is moved by a first length, a portion of the amplifier is moved by a second length that is greater than the first length, and the valve element is moved in a first direction by the second length.
