摘要:
A pen head (14) for a drop-on-demand ink jet pen is disclosed along with its method of manufacture. The pen head utilizes a barrier wall (24) located between a substrate (20) and an orifice plate (22). Ink (17) flows through the pen head in channels defined in the barrier wall. The barrier wall is fabricated in two layers (58,60) from cured, photoimaged resist materials. One layer (58) is a soldermask material; and the other (60), a photolithographic resist material. The two layers together resist chemical attack by the inks and mechanical separation of the orifice plate (22) from the pen head.

A medication dispenser includes a thermal drop generator ejector head. Medication is maintained in a pressurized container connected to a valve under the control of control electronics and to a compliant chamber. Fluid flows from the container to the chamber and to the ejector head. In a first mode the dispenser is operable to dispense aerosolized medication. In a second mode the ejector head is purged with fluid from the container to maintain the ejector head.

A light source module includes a lamp assembly having an integrated reflector and heat sink, the lamp assembly having a pressurized gas contained therein, an anode sealingly coupled to the integrated reflector and heat sink, and a cathode sealingly coupled to the integrated reflector and heat sink; and a projector protection system including at least one first projection feature for suspending current flow from the cathode to the anode when at least one first threshold is exceeded and at least one second projector protection feature for stopping the current flow when at least one second threshold is exceeded.
摘要:
A method of sorting cells comprises providing a fluid flow path for cell movement through a series of cell sorters in a first direction with an output of a preceding cell sorter of the series communicating with an input of a successive cell sorter of the series. Within each cell sorter, a first portion of the cells is separated from a second portion of the cells by applying a first non-uniform electric field via a first electrode array to cause movement of the first portion of the cells in a second direction across the fluid flow path, having a component generally transverse to the first direction into the output of a respective cell sorter.
摘要:
An inhalation system is disclosed that, in an exemplary embodiment, includes an ejector that ejects medicated droplets during an activation event, a conduit fluidically coupled to the ejector and configured to transport the droplets to a patient during an in-breath, and a particle detection system configured to determine whether the droplets have properly passed through the conduit and to the patient during an activation event. Also disclosed are methods for detecting particles in an inhaler system, with an exemplary method including generating a dose of medicament particles from an inhaler system; detecting particles emitted in the inhaler system; and determining if a desired particle flux has been achieved for inhalation by a patient.
摘要:
A display system includes a mechanism to provide for simultaneous pixelated color with a spatial light modulator. Also included is a mechanism to project the simultaneous pixelated color to create a color field display on a viewing surface. A further mechanism moves the color field display relative to viewing surface to provide at least one of color and resolution increasing wobulation.
摘要:
A light-filtering element for a display device is provided. The element includes at least one filter having a chamber with a filtering fluid, the filtering fluid selectively disposed in an optical path, and a liquid motion actuator selectively configured to move the filtering fluid substantially into and out of the optical path.
摘要:
A method and system for generating an image. The image includes an array of low-resolution pixels each including a plurality of high-resolution pixels. The display system includes a first light modulator having an array of color pixel elements wherein each of the color pixel elements is configured to independently modulate a spectral distribution of one of the low-resolution pixels and a second light modulator having an array of gray scale pixel elements each configured to independently modulate a gray scale of the high-resolution pixels. The first and second light modulators are configured to cooperatively operate such that each of the low-resolution pixels includes a number of groups of high-resolution pixels each having a different hue.
摘要:
Alternative methods for refurbishing a single-use ink delivery container for a printing system are described. The refurbishing methods include electrical and mechanical reconfiguration or replacement of original elements on the ink delivery container. Each method utilizes an existing ink fluid outlet, electrical connector and an information storage device on the ink delivery container.
