Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “Painting can be a labor-intensive, costly proce ss. Additionally, traditional painting techniques often result in excessive wast e (e.g., in terms of paint consumption, brushes, etc.) or result in the release of potentially hazardous chemicals into the air (e.g., via paint spraying). Acco rdingly, there is a need for improved systems and methods that address these and other needs.”
