摘要： A modular manifold system is provided for interconnecting fluid components of a fluid system in a reduced area. The system is comprised of a one or more bridge fittings having an internal fluid passageway which has an inlet end in fluid communication with an outlet port of a first fluid component, and an outlet end in fluid communication with an inlet port of a second fluid component. The bridge fittings may additionally comprise two or more ports, which one of said ports may be in fluid communication with a manifold on another substrate level. The bridge fittings may be mounted within a channel of a backing plate for structural support or in channel blocks of varying sizes. An optional locator plate may be utilized which is mounted over the ends of the bridge fittings in order to align the inlet and outlet ports of the fluid components with the inlet and outlet ends of the bridge fittings. The bridge fittings may also be mounted to the locator plate in multiple directions forming multiple flow paths. Additionally, the bridge fittings may be stacked to form multiple layers where bridge fittings of one layer may be in fluid communication with bridge fittings of another layer. The invention may further comprise seals provided in a recess between the fluid ports and the mating bridge fittings ends.

摘要： Microfluidic devices having porous materials that restrict fluid flow rate for a given pressure are provided. Multiple porous regions can be constructed in a single device so that they have different valving capabilities or impedances, and in unison can control the overall direction of fluid flow. Porous regions can be constructed in various ways, such as, for example: by inserting porous materials into or between channels; by sandwiching one or more sheets or layers of porous materials between other layers of a device; or by inserting a liquid, solution, slurry, or suspension into a microfluidic channel and then permitting the formation of porous deposits by promoting at least partial evaporation. Adhesive tape may be used for one or more layers of such a microfluidic device.

摘要： In a hot melt adhesive applicator of a slot die type or other type having an air supply to an adhesive service block through solenoids controlling the ON-OFF of the pneumatic adhesive applicator valves, one or more air valves are directly mounted to the service block through an intervening air supply manifold base plate positioned atop an insulation plate to significantly decrease the air path length and decrease the response time of the air valve. The insulation element may be mounted within an elongate recess formed in the top surface of the service block. The insulation element may be formed with cutouts to reduce the mass of the insulation element and to provide better air insulation exposure between the bottom surface of the valve base manifold and the bottom of the recess exposed by the cutouts.

摘要： The present invention refers to a novel apparatus and method to restrict pneumatic flow in a planar manifold. A forming tool of specific geometry is pressed into a planar manifold causing the pneumatic channel inside to collapse onto itself in a predictable and controllable way, therefore restricting the fluid flow in the pneumatic channel. The geometry of the forming tool is provided with angles and radii so that the planar manifold is not ripped during the pressing operation. Further, the geometry limits the deformed area so that distortion of adjacent pneumatic channels, and the potential for springing leaks between layers is minimized. In a preferred embodiment, the tooling also provides flow measurement while the forming tool is pressed into the planar manifold at a specific orientation.

摘要： A new architecture for packaging surface micromachined electro-microfluidic devices is presented. This architecture relies on two scales of packaging to bring fluid to the device scale (picoliters) from the macro-scale (microliters). The architecture emulates and utilizes electronics packaging technology. The larger package consists of a circuit board with embedded fluidic channels and standard fluidic connectors (e.g. Fluidic Printed Wiring Board). The embedded channels connect to the smaller package, an Electro-Microfluidic Dual-Inline-Package (EMDIP) that takes fluid to the microfluidic integrated circuit (MIC). The fluidic connection is made to the back of the MIC through Bosch-etched holes that take fluid to surface micromachined channels on the front of the MIC. Electrical connection is made to bond pads on the front of the MIC.

摘要： The present invention relates to a high-pressure hydraulic valve in which the housing (1) at least and also preferably the operational parts, such as the main control piston (3), the manometer piston (6) and the like which are arranged inside said housing (1) and influence the hydraulic oil flow, are made of an aluminium alloy that can be hardened and tempered. The weight of the high-pressure hydraulic valve can therefore be substantially reduced. The surfaces of the parts made of the aluminium alloy that can be hardened and tempered are advantageously submitted to anodic oxidation in order to increase even more their wear resistance. This type of high-pressure hydraulic valve with a particularly light weight is mainly intended for use in mobile hydraulic systems such as those used in mobile cranes, in lifting platforms and in excavators.
