Abstract: The present invention comprises a casing with an opened end for receiving a liquid and a holding end where the liquid is stored. Between the open end and the holding end there narrow neck. A ball is placed into the opened end of the casing, so that lodging the ball into the neck will seal the neck area so that the liquid contained within the holding area will remain in the holding area until the ball is dislodged upon impact. Attached to the opened end of the casing is a nozzle. The nozzle serves two purposes, first it assures that the liquid contained within the casing does not quickly run out of the device upon impact minimizing the spray area covered by the liquid. Additionally the nozzle contains a number of holes distributed throughout the surface of said nozzle, so that the passage of liquid through the nozzle will cause the device to flail erratically, further maximizing the area sprayed by the device.

Abstract: In a method for forming a three dimensional interconnected structure, sets of devices on receiver and donor semiconductor substrates. The donor substrate is implanted with two or more exfoliating implants, the substrates are bonded together to form a bonded structure that is heated until a portion of the donor substrate exfoliates from the bonded structure and leaves a residual portion of the donor bonded to the receiver. To form three dimensional interconnected integrated circuits from devices formed on donor and receiver substrates, the receiver devices are covered with a protective and bonding layer. Interconnect structures extending from the surface of the protective and bonding layer to the devices of the receiver are formed, and a donor is implanted with two or more exfoliating implants.
