    摘要: A microvalve includes a base plate having a surface defining an actuator cavity. A venting groove extends from a first cavity portion of the actuator cavity having a dead end region to a second cavity portion of the actuator cavity having a structure that can vent air from the microvalve. A cover plate includes a surface having an actuator cavity provided therein that includes a first cavity portion having a dead end region and a second cavity portion having a structure that can vent air from the microvalve. An intermediate plate includes a displaceable member that is disposed within the actuator cavity for movement between a closed position, wherein the displaceable member prevents fluid communication through the microvalve, and an opened position, wherein the displaceable member does not prevent fluid communication through the microvalve.

    摘要: A method for manipulating a droplet by a droplet manipulating device including a flow channel, a first magnetic field generator, and a second magnetic field generator is provided. The first magnetic field generator includes two first magnetic field modules and are at two sides of the flow channel. The second magnetic field generator is between the two first magnetic field modules and includes multiple second magnetic field coils. The droplet is provided in the flow channel and includes a magnetic particle. A first magnetic field is produced on the flow channel by the first magnetic field modules, so the magnetic particle in the droplet has the direction of magnetic field corresponding to the first magnetic field. A second magnetic field is produced on the flow channel by the second magnetic field coils, for driving the magnetic particle in the droplet to be in motion in the flow channel.

    摘要: A flow diode configured to permit fluid flow in a first direction while preventing fluid flow in a second direction opposite the first direction is disclosed. The flow diode prevents fluid flow without use of mechanical closures or moving parts. The flow diode utilizes a bypass flowline whereby all fluid flow in the second direction moves into the bypass flowline having a plurality of tortuous portions providing high fluidic resistance. The portions decrease in diameter such that debris in the fluid is trapped. As fluid only travels in one direction through the portions, the debris remains trapped in the portions.

    摘要: A fluid path structure is manufactured by way of an aligning step of aligning a first resin part with a second resin part by inserting a projection formed on the first resin part into a corresponding hole formed in the second resin part and a welding step of welding joint surfaces of the first resin part and the second resin part, thereby forming a fluid path. The aligning step is executed so as to narrow the gap between the projection and the hole to a minimum at a base side of the projection relative to a half of the height of the hole and the welding step is executed only at the base side of the projection relative to the half of the height of the hole so as to make the lateral surface of the projection only partially contact with the lateral surface of the hole.

The channel is formed in a surface of the body to surround a first portion of the surface. The channel is configured to hold an o-ring. The first pressure channel extends through the body and opens into the first portion of the surface. The second pressure channel extends through the body and opens into the channel. Pneumatic pressure within the second pressure channel is controlled to hold the o-ring in the channel when a second pressure within the first pressure channel changes.

    摘要: A Coanda flow amplifier has a suction intake, an outlet, a fluid channel extending between the suction intake and the outlet, and a drive-flow inlet, which is fluidly connected to the fluid channel via a drive-flow discharge slit, whereby the flow cross section of the drive-flow discharge slit is variably adjustable. In a method to operate the Coanda flow amplifier, the variably adjustable flow cross section of the drive-flow discharge slit is chosen such that a pressure ratio between an output pressure of the drive flow when it leaves the drive-flow discharge slit, and an intake pressure of the drive flow when it enters the drive-flow discharge slit, does not exceed a critical pressure ratio. A fuel cell system comprises at least one fuel cell, a fluid source, a fluid line, and a Coanda flow amplifier arranged in the fluid line, whereby the Coanda flow amplifier is equipped with a drive-flow discharge slit with a variably adjustable flow cross section.
