摘要:
A method of manufacturing a chemical device comprises, providing a first member (10) with a surface portion and a groove (18,20) located at the surface portion, and a second member (14) with a surface portion (16). A coating (34) which may be metallic or organic is provided on either the surface portion of the first or second member. The coating (34) is heated by combined convective heating and microwave irradiation. For a metallic coating (34) the heated coating bonds to the surface portion of the second member (14) so as to close the groove (18,20) to form a channel. For an organic coating the coating heats the surface portions of the two members to a temperature suitable to cause thermal connections. The organic coating then vaporises allowing the surface portions to contact and undergo thermal connection. A method of controlling hydrostatic and diffusion based flow of a liquid in a chemical device and a method of preparing a working solution of a desired concentration in a chemical device are also described.

A swimming pool treatment device comprises cylidrical pills comprising solid water treatment material such as trichloroisocyanuric acid. A collar is surrounds the periphery of the pill so that only the end surfaces thereof are engaged by the water. Consequently there is a constant erosion of the pill material. Various containers for one or more pills are disclosed. The containers which rest on the pool floor have downward projections that permit sufficient water flow below the pill container to prevent staining of the pool floor.

The invention relates to a metering device (D) for metering a reagent by dissolution in a liquid flow, characterised in that it comprises a plurality of parts: - a fixed base (200) grouping together said enclosure and a liquid inlet, means for bringing the liquid into contact with the reagent roller (G) and liquid outlet means, - one or more cartridges (300) forming a separate detachable volume grouping together said reagent magazine, means for forming at least one liquid jet directed substantially radially towards the roller (G) to be dissolved, and means for supporting the roller (G), said cartridge (300) coming to be associated with said base (200) which is preformed with at least one area for receiving said cartridge (300) for the purpose of dissolving the reagent.
摘要:
A droplet actuator (110) comprising: one or more substrates (114, 116) arranged to form a droplet operations gap, the droplet operations gap comprising a region of gap height transition in which the gap height of the droplet operations gap transitions from a first gap height to a second gap height; and electrodes associated with the one or more substrates arranged for conducting droplet operations, the electrodes comprising a transition electrode which traverses the region of gap height transition. The electrodes may comprise electrowetting electrodes. The transition electrode may be flanked by first and second sets of electrodes having first and second footprint areas. The first footprint area may be greater than the second footprint area. The first set of electrodes may be arranged in a region of greater gap height and the second set of electrodes may be arranged in the region of lesser gap height.

The invention provides a dispenser to dispense, in operation, particulate, soluble chemical agent, by dissolution, from a compacted or compressed form thereof, into liquid that flows along a flow path. The dispenser comprises a body defining a liquid treatment chamber, an inlet to the liquid treatment chamber, through which inlet feed liquid can, in operation, continuously be fed into the treatment chamber, and an outlet from the treatment chamber, through which outlet product liquid, containing dissolved chemical agent can, in operation, continuously leave the treatment chamber. The dispenser is configured such that a chemical agent artefact comprising the particulate, soluble chemical agent in a compacted or compressed form is arrangeable in the dispenser, in use, in a predetermined position in which the artefact is exposed to or accessible from inside of the treatment chamber only along a liquid contact surface provided by part of an outer surface thereof, which part extends along an artefact access plane defined in the dispenser in use at the predetermined position, such that liquid which is fed to the treatment chamber through the inlet, in operation, can contact the artefact only along the liquid contact surface and necessarily by passing across the artefact access plane.

A soap dispenser (10) includes retaining means (20) for supporting solid soap (30), the retaining means (20) being provided with an aperture (40). The arrangement is such that, in use, when water is caused to flow into the retaining means (20), soap dissolves into the water, and the water and the dissolved soap is thereby dispensed through the aperture without physical contact between a user and the solid soap (30).
