20150090138 | OPTIMIZED INTERNALLY-FED HIGH-SPEED ROTARY PRINTING DEVICE - A rotary device for high-speed printing or coating of a web substrate is disclosed. The printing system provides a gravure roll rotatable about an axis at a surface velocity, ν, and a fluid channel having a pressure drop throughout the fluid channel due to friction, P | 04-02-2015 |
20150091297 | ROTARY UNION - The present disclosure provides for the description of rotary unions. The described rotary unions are provided with a non-rotating union part and a rotating union part affixable to a rotating device. An exemplary rotary union can be positioned relative to a bearing supporting the rotating device and the rotating device or can be incorporated into a bearing supporting the rotating device. | 04-02-2015 |
20150343480 | CUSTOMIZABLE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING AND DEPOSITING FLUIDS - A rotating roll for depositing a fluid on a substrate is disclosed. The rotating roll can have a central longitudinal axis, wherein the rotating roll rotates about the central longitudinal axis. The rotating roll can have an exterior surface defining an interior region and a vascular network configured for transporting the fluid in predetermined paths from an interior region to the exterior surface of the rotating roll. The vascular network can have a main artery, a first capillary and a plurality of fluid exits on the exterior surface. The main artery can have an inlet and is substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the rotating roll. Fluid enters the vascular network at the inlet and exits through substantially radial fluid paths to form a first tree. | 12-03-2015 |
20150343481 | CUSTOMIZABLE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING AND DEPOSITING FLUIDS - A method of depositing a fluid onto a substrate. The method can include the steps of:

20150343482 | CUSTOMIZABLE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING AND DEPOSITING FLUIDS - A method of depositing a fluid onto a substrate is disclosed. The method can include the steps of providing a substrate, a fluid; a sleeve and roll system comprising a sleeve having a sleeve exit and an inner region and a rotating roll disposed within the inner region and a vascular network to supply the fluid from the interior region of the rotating roll to the exterior surface of the rotating roll in a predetermined path. The vascular network comprises a main artery, a tree comprising a first capillary, and a fluid exit on the exterior surface. The method includes the steps of transporting the fluid to the vascular network; controlling the flow of the fluid to move the fluid at a predetermined flow rate to the fluid exit; and contacting the substrate with the fluid. | 12-03-2015 |
20150343758 | CUSTOMIZABLE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING AND DEPOSITING FLUIDS - A system for depositing a fluid on a substrate is disclosed. The system can include a sleeve having a sleeve exit and an inner region and a rotating roll disposed within the inner region. A vascular network can be disposed within the rotating roll, the vascular network being configured for transporting the fluid in predetermined paths from the interior region to the exterior surface through a substantially radial path, the substantially radial path ending at an exit point of a fluid exit, wherein the exit point is associated with a sleeve exit. | 12-03-2015 |
20150343759 | CUSTOMIZABLE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRINTING FLUIDS - A method for printing 7 or more inks on a substrate. The method can include the steps of: | 12-03-2015 |
20150343760 | METHOD FOR MAKING A CUSTOMIZABLE APPARATUS FOR TRANSPORTING AND DEPOSITING FLUIDS - A method of creating a vascular network for printing a fluid onto a substrate is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: determining a deposit objective; selecting a fluid having at least one fluid property; designing a vascular network to achieve the deposit objective; selecting a fluid delivery system, and depositing the fluid in liquid form that solidifies into the vascular network according to the deposit objective. | 12-03-2015 |
