A pump jet assembly includes universal components, such as a rotor, shroud and stator, that can accommodate all marine drives within a given range and adapter components, that accommodate the difference between the universal components and a particular marine drive within the range. The sleeve includes a symmetrically-shaped cavity bounded by termini which are respectively disposed to fit onto the chip and to accept the fiber. Ar and O2 gases are introduced into the sputtering chamber at the flow values of about 92. At least one of the cathode electrode and the anode electrode includes a current collector. The dip-coating process may be used for multiple applications, including forming coatings from varied sol-gel formulations, coating substrates uniformly with particles to combinatorially test particle removal formulations, and the dipping of substrates into texturing formulations to combinatorially develop the texturing formulations. A process for producing the slurries of the present invention is disclosed which comprises the steps of a) dry milling the anatase titanium dioxide pigment, preferably by pressure rolling, and b) mixing the dry milled pigment with water in the presence of an acrylic acid dispersant.
