A plating-pattern plate is configured to transfer, to a substrate, a transfer pattern formed by plating. The plating-pattern plate includes a base body and transfer parts disposed on the base body. Each of the transfer parts has a transfer surface configured to have the transfer pattern to be formed on the transfer surface by plating. The transfer parts are disposed electrically independent of one another on the base body. The plating-pattern plate provides a fine conductive pattern with stable quality.

A family of Radar energy Absorbing Deformable Low Drag Vortex Generators (RAD-LDVG) is described herein. This family of devices are fabricated in such a way that it can conform to aircraft surface features while reducing radar returns from structural details. Vortex generators (VGs) are typically used to reattach or smooth gross flowfields over aircraft surfaces. By doing so, an airfoil or wing can maintain attached flow at higher angles of attack and/or higher lift coefficients than one without the VGs. These devices are also used to reattach and/or smooth flows that encounter crossflow-induced instabilities and/or adverse pressure gradients on the upper surfaces of wings or near aircraft boattails. Other uses include reduction of buffet, vibration, flutter, cavity resonance or general bluff-body pressure drag reduction. Although conventional rigid VGs do generate vortical aerodynamic structures, two major problems are often experienced: i.) the inability to conform to curved surfaces, ii.) the generation of radar cross-section spikes produced by the VGs themselves.

An ink-based digital printing system suitable for use with hydrophilic and/or aqueous dampening fluids includes an imaging member having an imaging member material that is hydrophilic at the imaging surface.
