Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the production of edible objects by selective laser sintering (SLS) using particular multi-material powder compositions. The edible compositions comprise a binder component having a melting or glass transition temperature in the range 10-200° C., and a structural component which is non-melting at the temperatures below 200° C. The composition is then subjected SLS to obtain a three-dimensional edible object. The invention can be used to produce food products using SLS, such as a bakery product, a dry mix for beverage, an instant soup or a confectionery product, among others.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an organic electroluminescent display device, wherein an arrangement of layers is applied to a substrate such, that in a first direction, first conductors extend as well as in a second direction, while between the intersections of the conductors an organic electroluminescent connection has been provided which, under the influence of an electric tension, emits light, the substrate being manufactured from plastic and being provided with a surface structure which forms a boundary for at least a number of the layers to be applied. The invention also provides a substrate intended for use in a method according to the invention for manufacturing an organic electroluminescent display device, wherein the substrate has been manufactured from plastic and is provided with a surface structure which forms a boundary for at least a number of the layers to be applied. The invention further provides an organic electroluminescent display device obtained with the method.

Abstract: A method wherein a substrate is provided, wherein, in a scanning step, structures already applied to the substrate are detected by at least one scanning provision of a processing head, wherein the processing head is provided with at least one lighting provision, which lighting provision locally lights the applied lacquer structure in a lighting step by using the information obtained with the scanning step. Further, the invention discloses an apparatus for carrying out the method is described, which apparatus is provided with a processing head which is movable relative to a substrate carrier, wherein the processing head comprises at least one scanning provision and at least one lighting provision.

Abstract: Described is a method for manufacturing a display including a substrate on which a structure, such as, for instance, a matrix structure in relief, is provided, which structure bounds a number of areas, wherein, with the aid of an inkjet printhead, substantially in each area an amount of liquid is deposited, wherein with the aid of at least one sensor a measurement is performed on the substrate to determine the position of a respective area, and on the basis of the thus determined position the printhead is controlled to deliver an amount of liquid at the correct place. Also described is an apparatus for carrying out the method, a substrate for use in the method and a display obtained with the method.

Abstract: An assembly for processing substrates, which processing comprises a vacuum deposition process, such as, for instance, sputtering, CVD or PECVD, which vacuum deposition process is carried out in at least one process chamber, the assembly being provided with a conveying device for moving the substrates from a vacuum lock to a process chamber, the conveying device, which extends in a vacuum space, permitting a continuous conveyance of a substrate adjacent the at least one process chamber and permitting an intermittent conveyance adjacent at least the at least one vacuum lock.
