Abstract: A new method for treating substrates with fluids, as well as corresponding fluid treatment apparatus. The new apparatus includes a new configuration of fluid jet injectors which substantially overcomes the problem of dragout, in which fluid impinged upon an area of a substrate is retained on that area, preventing fresh fluid from reaching the impinged area. This new configuration also avoids imposing torques on substrates, and substantially reduces the need for rollers and guides for transporting substrates.

Abstract: An electrical interconnector for interconnecting two circuit members wherein the interconnector comprises a dielectric member and at least one conductive element. The conductive element includes a base portion retained within the dielectric and at least one projecting helical portion for engaging a conductor of one of the circuit members. Preferably, dendritic elements (e.g., palladium) are formed on the terminal ends of the helical portions for providing debris removal. The form of connection between the helical portion and the conductor is of the non-wiping type. An electrical assembly including this interconnector is also described.
