Abstract: A microfluidic device may include a substrate having a cavity therein, and a bendable membrane within the cavity and having a plurality of spaced apart valve passageways therein. The bendable membrane may be bendable between a first position with the valve passageways being opened, and a second position with the valve passageways being closed. The microfluidic device may further include an actuator configured to bend the bendable membrane between the first and second positions.

Abstract: A testing device uses a selectively deformable substrate to capture and retain spherical beads for genetic experimentation. A method of fabricating the device is described in which a silicon substrate can be coated with a photosensitive, bio-compatible polymer for photolithographic patterning using a single mask exposure. The polymer is patterned with a matrix of wells, each well capable of expansion to accept placement of a bead in the well, and contraction to secure the bead in the well. The polymer can exhibit piezoelectric properties that cause it to respond mechanically to a selected electrical excitation.

Abstract: A MEMS multiaxial inertial sensor of angular and linear displacements, velocities or accelerations has four comb drive capacitive sensing elements (18) integrated on a planar substrate (12), each having an output responsive to displacement along a Z axis, and responsive to a displacement along X or Y axes. The sensing elements are located at different parts of the substrate on both sides of the X axis and the Y axis, the outputs being suitable for subsequently deriving linear displacements along any of the X, Y or Z axes and angular displacements about any of the X, Y or Z axes. Fewer sensing elements are needed to sense in multiple directions, making the device more cost effective or smaller. Linear or angular movement is determined from combinations of the sensor signals.
