Nozzles and method of making the same are disclosed. The disclosed nozzles have at least one nozzle through-hole therein, wherein the at least one nozzle through-hole exhibits a coefficient of discharge, C, of greater than about 0.50. Fuel injectors containing the nozzle are also disclosed. Methods of making and using nozzles and fuel injectors are further disclosed.

A taillight article () including an optically clear light guide () having an light emission front surface () and an opposing rear surface () and a side surface () separating the front surface () and the rear surface () is described. A first light source () is configured to direct light into the side surface () and indicate a first signal-function. A plurality of light extraction features () are on or within the optically clear light guide () and are configured to direct light from the first light source () out through the emission surface (). A light reflection element () is spaced apart from the rear surface () and defines a cavity () that is observable by a viewer.

Flexible lighting assemblies () are disclosed. Specifically, flexible lighting assemblies that are made up of a flexible cable (), a plurality of light emitting diodes (), and a plurality of transparent light distribution segments () that distribute light along the length of the cable by deflectors positioned over the light emitting diodes. The lighting assembly allows for flexible lighting without the glare and non-uniformity problems often associated with flexible lighting.

The present disclosure provides a method of making a thin film semiconductor device such as a transistor comprising the steps of: a) providing a substrate bearing first and second conductive zones which define a channel therebetween, where the channel does not border more than 75% of the perimeter of either conductive zone; and b) depositing a discrete aliquot of a solution comprising an organic semiconductor adjacent to or on the channel, where a majority of the solution is deposited to one side of the channel and not on the channel. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the solution is deposited entirely to one side of the channel, not on the channel, and furthermore the solution is deposited in a band having a length that is less than the channel length. The present disclosure additionally provides thin film semiconductor devices such as a transistors.
