A fibrous structure comprising first and second plies. The first ply comprises a first textured substrate comprising a first side comprising first discrete regions and a first continuous region extending between the first discrete regions, each first discrete region comprising an outer section and sidewall sections extending outwardly from the adjacent first continuous region to the outer section; a second side comprising first discrete portions corresponding to the first discrete regions and a first continuous portion corresponding to the first continuous region; and first polymer particles deposited on at least one of the first side or the second side. When the first polymer particles are deposited on the first side, the first polymer particles are substantially deposited on the outer sections of the first discrete regions and do not extend to the adjacent first continuous region. When the first polymer particles are deposited on the second side, the first polymer particles are substantially deposited on the first continuous portion and do not extend to the adjacent first discrete portions. At least a section of each of the first polymer particles defines a raised edge. The second ply comprises a second substrate joined to the first textured substrate.

The present invention provides an apparatus for producing a laminated steel core, which is capable of punching out steel core sheets having a predetermined shape from a thin steel strip while stably supporting the thin steel strip. The present invention also provides a method for producing a laminated steel core. A support 23a provided in a lower die 21 supports a thin steel strip 22 from its bottom and extends across the width of the thin steel strip and in the feed direction of the thin steel strip.

The present invention relates to a method for coating a component of a turbomachine in a bath, in which method, the component is partially immersed in the bath containing a coating material; the component is rotated at least intermittently around an axis of rotation, which lies outside of the bath, during the at least partial immersion; the component is at most immersed partially over and beyond the rotation.

A rectifying device includes: a first flow channel member that has an annular first flow channel through which a fluid flows in an axial direction, the first flow channel being provided between an inner peripheral wall and an outer peripheral wall; a second flow channel member that has a second flow channel between the inner peripheral wall and the outer peripheral wall, the second flow channel being provided upstream of the first flow channel in a flowing direction of the fluid and being connected with the first flow channel along an entire circumference; an inflow section that is provided at the second flow channel member and that allows the fluid to flow into a circumferential area of the second flow channel located away from the first flow channel in the axial direction; a first guide wall that is provided within the second flow channel at a position located away from the inflow section in a circumferential direction and that guides the fluid flowing toward a first side in the circumferential direction through the second flow channel toward the first flow channel; and a second guide wall that is provided within the second flow channel at a position adjacent to the first guide wall in the circumferential direction, the second guide wall guiding the fluid flowing toward a second side in the circumferential direction through the second flow channel toward the first flow channel and being disposed in a direction intersecting the first guide wall.

A coating device includes: a coating liquid holding part provided with an upper opening portion and a lower opening portion and holding a coating liquid that is supplied from a coating liquid supply part; and an annular body that is disposed inside the coating liquid holding part, through which a cylindrical body penetrating the upper opening portion and the lower opening portion of the coating liquid holding part penetrates, and in which the coating liquid held by the coating liquid holding part flows in from an upper side and flows out from a lower side with a relative movement to the cylindrical body, the annular body being installed to be relatively displaceable along an installation surface intersecting a direction of the relative movement with respect to the coating liquid holding part.

An automated painting system that includes a robotic arm and a painting end effector coupled at a distal end of the robotic arm, with the painting end effector configured to apply paint to a target surface. The painting system can also include a computing device executing a computational planner that: generates instructions for driving the painting end effector and robotic arm to perform at least one painting task that includes applying paint, via the painting the end effector, to a plurality of drywall pieces, the generating based at least in part on obtained target surface data; and drives the end effector and robotic arm to perform the at least one painting task.
