    摘要: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluidic die assembly is described. The fluidic die assembly includes a rigid substrate having a bend therein. A fluidic die is disposed on the rigid substrate. The fluidic die is to eject fluid from a reservoir fluidly coupled to the fluidic die. The fluidic die includes an array of ejection subassemblies. Each ejection subassembly includes an ejection chamber to hold a volume of fluid, an opening, and a fluid actuator to eject a portion of the volume of fluid through the opening. The fluidic die assembly also includes an electrical interface disposed on the rigid substrate to establish an electrical connection between the fluidic die and a controller. The fluidic die and the electrical interface are disposed on a same surface on opposite sides of the bend.

    摘要: Examples include a fluid ejection device comprising a carrier, at least one fluid ejection die, and conductive traces at least partially embedded in the carrier. The carrier has a first portion and a second portion, where an angle of orientation between the first portion and the second portion is nonparallel. The first portion includes an array of openings formed through a top surface of the carrier. The second portion includes at least one die opening through a bottom surface of the carrier. The fluid ejection die is coupled to the second portion of the carrier. Fluid passages formed in a back surface of the fluid ejection die are exposed through the at least one die opening formed through the bottom surface of the carrier. The conductive traces have an array of contact points at first ends of the conductive traces. The array of contact points align with the array of openings of the first portion of the carrier such that the array of contact points are exposed through the array of openings. The conductive traces connect the fluid ejection die and the array of contact points.

    摘要: An example system includes a microfluidic cavity; a retaining feature within the microfluidic cavity, and a releasing feature. The retaining feature is to position capsules at a predetermined location in the microfluidic cavity. The capsules have a thermally degradable shell enclosing a material therein. The releasing feature is to selectively cause degradation of the shell to release the material into the microfluidic opening. The releasing feature is to generate heat to facilitate degradation of the shell. In some examples, the retaining feature is a physical barrier sized to prevent flow of the capsule and to allow flow of the released materials through the microfluidic cavity.

    摘要: An example of an apparatus includes a focusing region to focus a sheath fluid and a particle flow. The apparatus also includes a particle inlet to inject the particle flow into the focusing region. In addition, the apparatus includes a sheath inlet to inject the sheath fluid into the focusing region. Also, the apparatus includes a cut-out disposed on a wall of the sheath inlet to distribute the sheath fluid about the particle flow to focus the particle flow into a linear stream. The apparatus further includes a separation region to apply a force to the particle flow. The force is dependent on a characteristic of a particle in the particle flow.
