Abstract:
A system, apparatus and method are provided for processing articles. The system includes subsystems for synthesizing, pre-treating, conducting a vapor phase coating process and post-treating articles in the form of powders and solid or porous workpieces. The apparatus permits vapor phase synthesis, treatment and deposition processes to be performed with high efficiency and at high overall throughput. The methods include converting solids, liquids or gases into gaseous and solid streams that can be separated or exchanged with or without treatment and/or coating steps, and produce optimized composite articles for specific applications.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus of  claim 6 , further comprising a second transport unit in fluid communication with said third solids phase valve assembly or solids phase pump assembly, and in parallel with said first transport unit, said second transport unit having one or more actuation mechanisms and is configured for controlling the temperature, pressure and composition of a gaseous environment while regulating the material flow rate of said articles, and wherein said second transport unit is in bidirectional control signal communication with a signal hub, and wherein one or more actuation mechanisms of said second transport unit is configured for synchronous actuation with said third solid phase valve assembly or solid phase pump assembly actuation mechanisms.
