Fluid deposition via ultrasonic pumping

A Microplotter system also has the unique capability of dispensing continuous lines. This is
accomplished by starting as if to create a spot on a surface, but not deactivating the dispenser
after fluid contact has been made with the surface. Instead, the dispenser is moved along the
surface in a straight line, leaving behind a smooth line wherever it passes. Only when the line is
finished is the dispenser deactivated and retracted from the surface.
