Abstract
The method includes defining a duct within a capillary medium, first forming an air impingement structure, the air impingement structure including electrically conductive filaments, and connecting a first surface of the capillary medium to a second surface of the air impingement structure to form an assembly, a first end of the duct abutting the second surface, at least one first portion of the air impingement structure extending into the first surface.

A method of forming an assembly, comprising:
- defining a duct within a capillary medium;
- first forming an air impingement structure, the air impingement structure including electrically conductive filaments;
- and
- connecting a first surface of the capillary medium to a second surface of the air impingement structure to form the assembly, the second surface being convex and being conformed to a shape of the first surface that is concave, a first end of the duct abutting the second surface, at least one first portion of the air impingement structure extending into the first surface.
