Abstract: An actuator component for a droplet ejection head; wherein said actuator component comprises a substrate and one or more strips of piezoelectric material fixedly attached to said substrate; wherein said one or more strips of piezoelectric material comprise one or more layers of piezoelectric material, and an array of fluid chambers defined within said one or more strips of piezoelectric material and extending in an array direction; wherein said actuator component further comprises one or more cover parts; wherein the or each cover part extends in said array direction and is fixedly attached to at least one of a side face of one of said strips of piezoelectric material and/or at least a portion of said substrate; and wherein said one or more cover parts comprise a plurality of openings so as to enable fluid to be supplied to selected ones of said fluid chambers through said openings. Associated methods of manufacturing an actuator component for a droplet ejection head are also provided.

Abstract: A cockpit assembly generally includes a cast alloy backbone, an intermediate plastic support member, and an instrument panel. The cast alloy backbone extends laterally and defines attachment features. The intermediate support member provides structural support to the various devices of the cockpit assembly, and is connected to the backbone through molding of the plastic around the attachment features. The instrument panel is connected to the support member and defines an interior surface exposed to the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed are treatment composition, comprising an aqueous continuous phase; a reactive component comprising a reactive agent and a water immiscible solvent, wherein the water immiscible solvent solubilizes the reactive agent; and one or more surfactants wherein the surfactants emulsify the reactive component in the aqueous phase to form a bi-layer emulsion. Also disclosed are methods for treating amino acid based substrates, and methods for bleaching, coloring and conditioning hair with these treatment compositions.
