    Abstract: The application of fluidic systems to a variety of consumer devices would typically exploit fluidic structures of a few millimeters to a centimeter or so that are between the common fluidic realms of microfluidics and macrofluidics. For these devices power consumption, portability, batter operation etc. are significant factors in the design and implementation of these fluidic systems. However, the necessary range of fluidic device structures for electromagnetically driven high efficiency pumps, valves, switches, capacitors etc. require development to provide both the required functionality as well as to meet the user expectations for functionality, variability, cost, etc. but also lifetime, reliability, manufacturability etc. of the consumer devices exploiting these fluidic systems.

    Abstract: A droplet forming device (1) for discharging a droplet in a flying fashion from a nozzle (32), the device includes a liquid chamber (29) that is communicated with the nozzle (32) and is supplied with a liquid material (37), a plunger rod (6) having a tip (34) that is moved to advance and retreat within the liquid chamber (29), a spring (8) that applies a biasing force to the plunger rod (6), a pressurization chamber (11) that is supplied with a pressurized gas (10) acting to retreat the plunger rod (6), a pressure source (15) that supplies the pressurized gas (10) to the pressurization chamber (11), and a controller (45). The droplet forming device (1) further includes a magnetic field generating mechanism (21, 22) that generates an attraction force to act in an advancing direction when the plunger rod (6) approaches a most advanced position thereof.
