Abstract: The disclosure provides, in part a seal system for sealing a film. The disclosure further provides, in part, a sealed film comprising a first and a second substrate; a first and a second electrode disposed on the surface of at least one of the substrates; a switching material disposed between the first and second substrates; a first seal and a second seal; the first seal disposed along an edge of the switching material, separating the switching material from the second seal.

Abstract: An inventive method for making a parallel passage contactor structure comprising multiple sheet material layers is provided. A substantially continuous printing device, such as a rotary screen printer, or optionally alternative suitable substantially continuous printing means including for example repeated non-rotary screen or stencil printing, may be used to affix printed spacers comprising a printed spacer ink onto a substantially continuous web of a chosen sheet material, which may subsequently be spirally wound about a mandrel to form a spiral parallel passage contactor structure with multiple sheet material layers spaced apart from each other by the affixed printed spacer means to form fluid flow channels.

Abstract: Extrusion coating of a removable thermoplastic material onto freshly painted (non-fully cured paint) surfaces has been found to be an effective method for providing protection against damage during handling, and blocking during stacking, enabling handling of the substrate shortly after painting. Furthermore, the extrusion coating allows the paint to dry and cure on porous and non-porous substrates.

Abstract: The assembly of the invention includes a pressure vessel having a size to fit in a usual home refrigerator for the domestic fermenting of a fermentable liquid mixture under pressure and under chilled conditions, The pressure vessel defines a closed fermentation chamber for containing a bath having an amount of fermentable liquid mixture effective to provide a pressurized atmosphere above the surface of the bath within the closed fermentation chamber during the fermenting process, A pressure relief valve controls the pressure within the fermentation chamber at a level sufficient to maintain safety conditions during the fermentation process, Pressurized gaseous material is introduced into the pressure vessel to enhance the fermentation process within the chamber. A spigot is part of an output discharge mechanism including a float used to remove fermented beverage from adjacent the surface of the bath to draw beverage from the pressurized vessel while a pressurized atmosphere remains in the vessel.

The pressure vessel defines a closed fermentation chamber for containing a bath having an amount of fermentable liquid mixture effective to provide a pressurized atmosphere above the surface of the bath within the closed fermentation chamber during the fermenting process. A pressure relief valve controls the pressure within the fermentation chamber at a level sufficient to maintain safety conditions during the fermentation process. Pressurized gaseous material is introduced into the pressure vessel upon completion of the fermentation process to maintain pressure in the bath within the chamber.
