The present invention concerns the provision of a novel glue application apparatus for controllably depositing glue on the mating surfaces of door components in a manner that provides adequate glue coverage while preventing the deposition of excessive amounts of glue. The glue application apparatus includes multiple glue dispensers having uniquely configured glue dispensing nozzles that are uniquely positioned at various angles to accommodate mating surfaces of different profiles.

Surface treatment of a tubular surface defining an axis extending from a first surface end to a second surface end includes partially surrounding the tubular surface, at a first position, with a first set of treating units, with the treating units arranged in a first arcuate array. Furthermore, each treating unit is configured to include a plurality of first applicator heads. In some examples, a position of each of the plurality of first applicator heads is determined relative to the tubular surface. The first set of treating units is moved from the first position towards a second position. In one non-limiting example, each of the plurality of first applicator heads is independently controlled to selectively apply a first treatment as the first set of treating units moves from the first position towards the second position.

The present disclosure includes a method for producing a printed circuit board having at least one coating includes mixing a first component with a second component of a two component coating system to form a coating mixture by means of a dynamic mixer or by means of a static-dynamic mixer. The method also includes supplying the coating mixture to an output unit, and coating the printed circuit board by outputting the coating mixture using the output unit onto the printed circuit board. The output unit is moved automatically in at least one, two, or three dimensions relative to the printed circuit board. The mixer is connected with the output unit in such a manner that it is moved together with the output unit relative to the printed circuit board. The present disclosure also includes a coating head for performing the method.

Embodiments relate to surface treating a substrate, spraying precursor onto the substrate using supercritical carrier fluid, and post-treating the substrate sprayed with the precursor to form a layer with nanometer thickness of material on the substrate. A spraying assembly for spraying the precursor includes one or more spraying modules and one or more radical injectors at one or more sides of the spraying module. A differential spread mechanism is provided between the spraying module and the radical injectors to inject spread gas that isolates the sprayed precursor and radicals generated by the radical injectors. As relative movement between the substrate and the spraying assembly is made, portions of the substrate is exposed to first radicals, sprayed with precursors either one of the spraying modules or both spraying modules using supercritical carrier fluid, and then exposed to second radicals again.

A coating booth (101) for elements to be coated. The coating booth (101) comprises a passage between opposing vertical sides (107a, 107b, 108a, 108b) through which elements to be coated are conveyed. There is an entrance (105) at one end of the passage and an exit (106) at the other end of the passage. The coating booth (101) comprises a conveyor line (102) for supporting said elements to be coated and configured to convey said elements from the entrance (105) to the exit (106) along a straight pathway, and, a suction system. The opposing sides of the channel are symmetrical about the pathway. Sets of spray guns (103a, 104a, 103b, 104b) for spraying coating powder at the elements are positioned symmetrically either side of the straight pathway. The suction system comprises vertical suction inlets (109a, 109b) mounted opposite one another on each opposing vertical side of the passage, the suction system being configured to provide equal amounts of suction through each of the opposing vertical suction inlets (109a, 109b).

A robotised construction system is provided that includes a cartesian robot that can be automatically lifted as the construction is becoming higher, that is provided with a system of robotic supply of the materials and of the electric and electronic installations and that is provided with specific fabrication tools which work some by the contribution of layers of fluid construction materials. In a cement-based usage in which the cement is setting and having been deposited, by projection of these same materials and others by forming and placing construction elements in a determined position.

A process and system for cleaning a high pressure separator vessel in a polymerization reactor without removing the top cover and its associated bolts by providing a cleaning hole in a fluid fitting above and adjacent to the top cover, through which a cord or cable is fed and affixed to a rotatable cleaning nozzle. The cleaning nozzle is gradually raised, lowered and rotated to direct a high pressure liquid onto the interior walls of the vessel to remove accumulated waste material.

The systems and methods described herein relate to basting food-related items. The food-related items may include baked goods, baking sheets, cake pans, cupcake pans, and the like. The food items may include pastries, baked good, pies, etc. The item to be basted, glazed, or otherwise deposited with a fluid is placed in a target area. A movable head is then able to move along a track and distribute a fluid over the fluid- related item. The item is stationary during the process.

The assembly for preparing and/or painting a surface of a structure includes a movable applicator and a mounting device. The movable applicator includes a horizontal rack having a spray array of a plurality of spaced paint tooltips for painting the surface of the structure. The mounting device has an actuatable arm carrying the movable applicator. The mounting device is movable for positioning the actuatable arm adjacent the structure. The actuatable arm is adapted to move the movable actuator in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and towards or away from the surface as required to prepare and/or paint the surface. The horizontal rack is pivotably mounted to the actuatable arm and a linear actuator extends between the arm and the rack. A control system can use actuation of the linear actuator to maintain the spray array parallel to the surface of the structure.
