This invention is directed to the creation of diamond coatings with enhanced adherence on substrates, such as tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC--Co), by chemical vapor deposition. This process comprises the steps of creating a combustion flame, supplying a deposition promoter to the flame, positioning a substrate into the flame, and forming the diamond deposit with enhanced adherence on the substrate. The invention is also directed to methods for the formation of a diamond deposit with enhanced adhere...

Fluid-ejection devices capable of ejecting fluid onto media and methods for their manufacture are provided. One embodiment includes adhering a fluid-ejecting substrate of the fluid-ejection device to a carrier of the fluid-ejection device by drawing an adhesive between the fluid-ejecting substrate and the carrier using capillary action.

A process is provided for improving the resistance to deterioration when exposed to weather and the adherence to other materials of polypropylene, particularly in the form of moldings, which comprises subjecting a surface of polypropylene to the action of activated oxygen gas at a temperature below about 100.degree. C. in the presence of an N-alkyl or N-acyl 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidyl compound for a time sufficient to improve such weather resistance and adherence.

A method for monitoring the movement of a vehicle along a selected route R to determine whether the vehicle is (i) adhering to that route and/or (ii) adhering to a selected time schedule along that route. Adherence to the route R requires that the vehicle travel within a corridor of selected positive width that surrounds a path defining the route R. Adherence to the time schedule requires that the vehicle move past one or more specified locations along or adjacent to the route R within a specifi...
