摘要:
A device comprises: one or more cantilevered biomimetic cilia, and a liquid disposed among the one or more biomimetic cilia, wherein individual biomimetic cilia are at least partially submerged in the liquid, and wherein the biomimetic cilia are arranged for excitation into resonance, such as for mixing and pumping via the resonant behavior of the excited cilia.
摘要:
The present invention provides devices and methods for measuring electrically detectable bulk properties of liquid samples. Representative electrically detectable bulk properties measurable by the devices and methods of the invention include resistivity (conductivity) and dielectric constant (permittivity). The electrically detectable bulk properties are determined by comparing the experimental electrical output of the devices with mathematically simulated models of the experimental devices.
