An application device capable of very rapidly applying a liquid in the form of a thin film to a continuously moving flexible carrier in such a manner as to avoid corrosion and wear to the surface of the doctor edge portion of the application device to thus avoid the formation of streaks on the surface of the applied liquid. A clearance between the surface of the carrier and the surface of the doctor edge portion is made larger at the downstream end of the surface of the doctor edge portion than …

Disclosed is a method for applying and curing thermo insulation to an aluum substructure, and particularly, to an elliptical cone shaped aluminum substructure. The method comprises curing and bonding a thin covering of insulation to the aluminum substructure by a one step curing procedure. The insulation thickness is in the range of about 0.0600 inches. The insulation which is comprised of epoxy-phenolic film adhesive and silica fabric-phenolic resin is cured under a predetermined amount of heat…

An application device in which uneven application due to a clogged nozzle can be suppressed. Rows of plural spray holes are formed in the nozzle plate with the holes being disposed in a staggered, lattice-like configuration with an odd number of spray hole rows being aligned along a conveying direction of an image recording material. Each time a conveyed distance of the image recording material is a distance corresponding to a distance between two adjacent rows times one-half of the odd number o…

A liquid applicator device and a method of utilization thereof to effect plant destruction. A first distinct container containing herbicide, with a rotary valve extending from one end thereof, is mounted on a second elongated container with the metering valve between the first and second containers. An elongated roller having a fibrous cover for receiving herbicide from the container and for ultimately transferring the herbicide to a plant is insertable into the second container, and has a handl…

A tool, particularly adapted for use with a computer controlled robot includes an adhesive application device for depositing a quantity of liquid adhesive to a work piece, a transport roller for engaging the elongated material with the deposited adhesive on the work piece and about which the elongated material may be fed, and a separation means for severing a predetermined applied length of the elongated material from the supply of such material. The position of a pinch roller relative to the el…

A percussor apparatus employing a reciprocal motor with improved performance characteristics is disclosed. The reciprocal motor is comprised of an armature, a solenoid or coil, a magnetic frame encompassing the armature and solenoid, and means for resiliently holding the armature in a position partially outside a magnetic field produced by the solenoid when an appropriate electrical signal is applied to the solenoid. Resilient bumpers which limit the travel of the armature as it reciprocates are…

Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to a system that enables filtered application-to-application communication in a server farm in a multi-channel reliable hardware environment (e.g. InfiniBand). The system may also improve the performance of application-to-application communication between servers in the farm. The implementation of multi-channel reliable communication hardware may reduce the number of communication software layers above.

An application device for applying a coating liquid to a moving web which forms an applied layer of uniform thickness and with smooth surface properties. The sides of a slotted portion of an extrusion-type application head are provided with sloped or stepped portions in regions adjacent liquid-free areas of the web. This prevents scratching of the web and accumulation of extraneous matter at the edge portions of the application head.

An extrusion-type liquid application device having a simple construction but in which the width of the coating slit can easily be adjusted, even during a coating operation. Thick members are mounted on the doctor portion of a coating head extending perpendicular to the liquid discharge portion of the coating head. The thick members have acting portions at their upper ends abutting the surface of the doctor portions, central fulcrum portions, and opposite end portions provided with adjusting memb…
