Abstract: A method of dispensing quantum dot containing material in a well, the method comprising dispensing quantum dot material in a well using an ink jet, wherein the ink jet is operated with an Ohnesorge (Oh) number between 0.1 and 1 and with a Weber number of between 4 and 501.6*Oh0.4. Other methods include dispensing quantum dot containing material in a well, the method comprising dispensing quantum dot material in a well using an ink jet, immobilizing the dispensed quantum dot material by drying or curing, repeating these steps an integer N number of times until a predetermined thickness is obtained.

Abstract: A separator such as for an electrochemical double layer capacitor includes acicular inorganic particles that are dried to form a porous membrane. Example inorganic particles are calcium silicate particles. A deposition method implementing slurry that includes the acicular inorganic particles and a dispersing medium along with a binder material can be used to form the separator layer directly on electrode materials.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing system may include a first die portion having a first face defining a first edge and a second die portion spaced from the first die portion and having a second face facing the first face and defining a second edge, wherein the first edge and the second edge define a fluid outlet opening. The fluid dispensing system may also include a fluid inlet for introducing fluid to a region between the first face and the second face, and a cavity in flow communication with the fluid inlet, wherein the cavity opens to the region between the first face and the second face. The fluid dispensing system may further include a shim disposed between the first die portion and the second die portion to maintain the spaced positioning of the first and second die portions, wherein the shim defines a plurality of channels bounded by the first and second faces and extending from the cavity in a direction toward the fluid outlet.

Abstract: A current collector and an electric double layer capacitor including a current collector. The current collector has a conductive layer with an electrode-facing surface and an opposing second surface, each surface having an area, and a textured coating formed over and in contact with at least a majority of the electrode-facing surface.

Abstract: A method of glass edge coating includes supplying a coating material to a jetting dispenser. Droplets are jetted from a nozzle of the jetting dispenser. Beads of coating material are deposited on a perimeter edge of the glass article by arranging for the droplets to drop on the perimeter edge after falling through a standoff distance between the nozzle and the perimeter edge, whereafter each bead flows in a plurality of directions on the perimeter edge, thereby forming a coating on the perimeter edge. During the jetting, a relative motion is effected between the nozzle and the perimeter edge such that the beads are deposited at a plurality of locations along the perimeter edge.
