Abstract: A system comprises a plurality of albedo-increasing materials distributed on a surface of a man-made structure and having an albedo that is greater than an albedo of the surface of the man-made structure, wherein the albedo of the albedo-increasing materials is at least 0.15. The plurality of albedo-increasing materials are positioned and sized to increase an evaporation rate at the surface for a given temperature and decrease a temperature characterizing the man-made structure.

Abstract: Glaucoma drainage devices including vario-stable valves and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A glaucoma drainage device includes a drainage lumen and a valve system coupled to the drainage lumen to control the flow of fluid through the drainage lumen. The valve system includes an adjustable valve with a diaphragm that is in communication with the drainage lumen and is movable to occupy varying amounts of the drainage lumen. In some embodiments, the valve system is maintained in a desired position without the use of power such that power is only needed when changing a position of the adjustable valve.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a valve for a fluid system is described herein. The method comprises determining a target cracking pressure for the valve of the fluid system, providing an inner wall having a first height and an outer wall having a second height, the first height varying from the second height by a height differential, and attaching a flexible membrane to the outer wall at the second height, wherein a central zone of the flexible membrane is in contact with the inner wall at the first height and the inner wall biases the flexible membrane from a neutral condition. The height differential is selected to provide resistance to displacement from the inner wall until pressure acting on the membrane exceeds the target cracking pressure.

Abstract: A control valve for a fluidic system is disclosed. The control valve comprises a housing and a flow control membrane is disclosed. The flow control membrane is anchored within the housing to form a reference chamber on a first side of the membrane and a fluid flow channel on a second opposing side of the membrane. The fluid flow channel selectively opens and closes to permit fluid to flow from the inlet to the outlet, and the membrane is configured to control flow through the channel from the inlet to the outlet by deflecting in response to pressure differentials of the reference chamber pressure and the fluid flow channel pressure acting across the membrane.

Abstract: A gas or liquid detector that includes a capacitative sensor and a capacitance detector. The capacitative sensor includes a first electrode and a second electrode separated from one another, and additionally includes Debye elements extant in the liquid adjacent such portions of the electrodes that are in contact with the liquid. The Debye elements each include a Debye capacitor with an associated shunt conductor. The shunt conductor has an exponentially-increasing conductance versus voltage characteristic. The Debye element adjacent the first electrode and the Debye element adjacent the second electrode are connected in series by conduction through the liquid. The Debye element adjacent at least the first electrode has a substantially greater capacitance than the capacitance between the electrodes absent the Debye elements. The capacitance detector is connected to the capacitative sensor and measures the capacitance of the capacitative sensor by applying an alternating voltage between the electrodes. The alternating voltage has a voltage amplitude less than the voltage amplitude at which the Debye element extant adjacent at least the first electrode ceases to be predominantly capacitative. By measuring the capacitance of the capacitative sensor using an alternating voltage having a voltage amplitude less than the voltage amplitude at which the Debye element ceases to be predominantly capacitative, the capacitances measured are one or more orders of magnitude greater than the capacitances conventionally measured between electrodes in contact with a liquid.
