Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Apparatus to capture aerosols, fluid jetting apparatus, and aerosol diverters are disclosed. An example aerosol capture apparatus includes a corona wire to generate ions, and a reference plate positioned below the corona wire and above a substrate on which a fluid is to be deposited, the reference plate to provide a reference potential to direct the ions toward the reference plate to force aerosol particles associated with the fluid toward the reference plate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A fluid jetting apparatus, comprising: a fluid jetting head to eject fluid droplets toward a substrate; a manifold positioned between the fluid jetting head and the substrate, the manifold comprising a first opening facing the fluid jetting head and a second opening facing the substrate, the manifold being positioned to permit an air flow to enter an interior of the manifold via the second opening; and a fan to generate the air flow and to expel the air…
