Abstract: A device for processing a surface of a work piece. A motor is configured to produce a rotary force. A driving pulley is operatively coupled to the motor such that the rotary force produced by the motor causes rotation of the driving pulley. A belt is operatively coupled to the driving pulley such that rotation of the driving pulley causes rotation of the belt. A second pulley is also operatively coupled to the belt such that rotation of the belt causes rotation of the second pulley. Bristles are coupled to the belt and extend away from the belt. The rotary force produced by the motor causes the plurality of bristles to move relative to the motor. The surface of the work piece is processed when the bristles contacts the surface while the bristles are moving.

Abstract: A method and a device for depositing a layer of material on a surface is provided. The device includes a rotatable hub having a plurality of fibers projecting therefrom. The fibers are constructed from the material to be deposited on the surface. As the hub is rotated, a portion of the fiber engages the surface and melted thereon. In order to vary the thickness of the layer and/or insure proper melting of the fiber, the angular velocity of the hub may be varied, or the hub and/or the surface may be moved along a corresponding axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the hub.
