연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

In a liquid dispensing system having a dispensing module and a gun manifold, the gun manifold includes a shelf portion that extends outwardly from its front face and the dispensing module includes a correspondingly shaped aperture configured to engage the shelf portion so that the dispensing module rests, or hangs, on the gun manifold without being held into place. From this position, the module can be easily and readily attached to the manifold. The shelf and aperture have complementary shapes and can be keyed so as to require the mating of the manifold...

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first interactive surface is asymmetrically shaped such that the first and second interactive surfaces cooperate for self-supporting one of said first and second components on the other of said first and second components when said first component is oriented in a first orientation and said first and second interactive surfaces do not cooperate for self-supporting one of said first and second components on the other of said first and second components when said first component is oriented in a second orientation opposite to said first orientation. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising said second component having a second interactive surface, and wherein said first interactive surface and said second interactive surface cooperate so that said first component is self-supported on said second component. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein: said first component further comprises a first air port; and said second component further comprises a second air port; wherein, when said first and second interactive surfaces are in cooperation, said first air port communicates with said second air port. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein: said first interactive surface includes asymmetrically curved surfaces such that the first and second interactive surfaces cooperate only when said first air port is aligned with said second air port. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said asymmetrically curved surfaces further comprise opposed curvilinear surfaces having different radii of curvature. 10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said first interactive surface and said second interactive surface further cooperate to align said first and second air ports. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first component is an adaptor configured to be positioned generally between a dispensing module and a manifold. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first interactive surface further comprises opposed curvilinear surfaces defining a recessed space therebetween for receiving a projecting portion at least partially defined by the second interactive surface. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first interactive surface further comprises opposite curvilinear surfaces defining a projecting portion therebetween, said projecting portion configured to be received in a recessed space at least partially defined by the second interactive surface. 14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said recessed portion and said projecting portion are each generally bow-tie shaped. 15. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said recessed portion and said projecting portion have shapes selected from the group consisting of: (a) a rectangle, (b) a plurality of angled surface portions, (c) a generally rectangular shape with opposed curved portions, and (d) a dove-tail. 16. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first interactive surface further comprises a projecting portion having a first undercut forming a first lip. 17. The apparatus of claim 16, further comprising a second undercut forming a second lip in opposed relation to said first lip. 18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein said first and second lips have opposed, chamfered surfaces. 19. An apparatus for dispensing liquid thermoplastic material comprising: a first component comprising a first face, said first face including a first interactive surface formed as a recessed portion extending only partially into said first component, and a first liquid port spaced from said first interactive surface, and a second component comprising a second face, said second face including a second interactive surface complementary to said first interactive surface and a second liquid port, said second interactive surface formed as a projecting portion, wherein said recessed portion and said projecting portion cooperate to align said first and second liquid ports and to at least partially support one of said first and second components on the other of said first and second components. 20.
