Method of creating a dispersion of a liquid on a substrate
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of moving a liquid between a substrate extending in a first plane and a template extending in a second plane, said method comprising:
- forming an oblique angle between said first plane and said second plane;
reducing a distance between said substrate and paid template so that said template is in contact with a portion of said liquid at a desired location; and
creating a dispersion of said liquid away from said desired location.

Abstract
The present invention includes a method of moving a liquid between a substrate extending in a first plane and a template extending in a second plane. More specifically, the method may include forming an oblique angle between the first plane and the second plane, reducing a distance between the substrate and the template such that the template is in contact with a portion of the liquid at a desired location, and creating a dispersion of the liquid away from the desired location.

9. A method of moving a liquid between a substrate extending in a first plane and a template extending in a second plane, said method comprising:
-
placing said first plane of said substrate and paid second plane of said substrate in a substantially non-parallel orientation;
reducing a distance between said substrate and said template;
contacting a portion of said liquid with said template at a desired location, with said first plane of said substrate and said second plane of said template in a substantially non-parallel orientation; and
creating a dispersion of said liquid away from said desired location. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of moving a liquid between a substrate and a template, with a first distance and a second distance defined therebetween, with a first region of said template being spaced-apart from a sub-portion of said substrate, in superimposition therewith, a first distance, and a second region of said template being spaced-apart from a sub-area of said substrate a second distance, said method comprising:
-
reducing a spacing between said template and said substrate so that a rate of change of said first distance is at a higher rate that a rate of change of said second distance;
contacting a portion of said liquid at a desired location so that said template is in contact with a portion of said liquid at a desired location; and
creating a dispersion of said liquid away from said desired location. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
