Abstract: A system for coating an article comprising a pigment applicator adapted to apply a pigment and a plasma module. The plasma module adapted to generate a plasma region. At least one of a chemistry and precursor can be supplied to the plasma generated in the plasma region such that the plasma region can at least in part polymerise the at least one of a chemistry and precursor to form a plasma polymerised coating. The pigment can be fixed to the article by the plasma polymerised coating.

Abstract: A system for treating an article. The system comprises a segment adapted to contain a local atmosphere and an internal pressure which is within the range of 90 kPa to 110 kPa. The segment comprising a module. The module comprising a pair of electrodes and a manifold for delivering a fluid to the pair of electrodes, wherein the electrodes are adapted to energise the fluid delivered from the manifold before being deposited onto the article.

Abstract: A coating which can be applied an article. The coating may comprise an upper side and a lower side. The coating may be applied to at least one surface of the article, and wherein the coating may be formed from a monomer and a nanomaterial which have been exposed to a plasma, in which the monomer is at least partially polymerised by the plasma.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are described to promote understanding and empathy. The apparatus may include a game board apparatus in which multiple players engage and learn information about each other.
