Abstract: The aim of the invention is to coat running material webs (1). According to prior art, the coating material is applied to the material web (1) by means of curtain coaters.  Said coating material is discharged from a slit nozzle (2) and passes through a free-falling curtain (3). The edges of the curtain (3) are separated by means of separating elements (9, 10) before the fall onto the material web (1) for adjusting the coating width. According to the invention, a smaller curtain is produced on each edge by means of a first outer separating element (10). Said curtain is adjusted to the desired coating width by means of a second, inner separating element (9). In a preferred embodiment, an inner separating element (9) is used which contains a vertical channel in the interior thereof. Said channel is open on the separating edge. A water supply (24) flows into said channel.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for manufacturing
and for providing electrical connectors having maximum
shielding from electronic interference. Maximum shielding is
inexpensively achieved by manufacturing a shield structure from
a single piece of material in a manner yielding individual
channels for shielding a contact terminal from the receptacle
area to the tail area. Contact terminals are integrated into
the shield structure via insertion molding to form a column
connector module. A plurality of column connector modules are
then inserted into an appropriately formed front housing. As
described by the method of this invention, shielding from
electronic interference occurs not only between adjacent
terminals within a column structure, but also, between
terminals contained in adjacent column connector modules.
