High-temperature, adhesive-based microvalves and uses thereof

Title: High-temperature, adhesive-based microvalves and uses thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to adhesive-based microvalves, as well as assemblies and cartridges having such microvalves. In particular examples, substantially planar layers of adhesive materials are used to construct both normally-open and normally-closed microvalves for fluid control within microfluidic laminate cartridges. Such microvalves and cartridges can be useful for medical, chemical, and biological investigations.

Oxidation resistant high temperature thermal cycling resistant coatings on silicon-based substrates and process for the production thereof

Patent Sarin, Vinod K [Lexington, MA]

An oxidation resistant, high temperature thermal cycling resistant coated ceramic article for ceramic heat engine applications. The substrate is a silicon-based material, i.e. a silicon nitride- or silicon carbide-based monolithic or composite material. The coating is a graded coating of at least two layers: an intermediate AlN or Al.sub.x N.sub.y O.sub.z layer and an aluminum oxide or zirconium oxide outer layer. The composition of the coating changes gradually from that of the substrate to that of the AlN or Al.sub.x N.sub.y O.sub.z layer and further to the composition of the aluminum oxide or zirconium oxide outer layer. Other layers maymore »« less

Method for producing high dielectric strength microvalves

Patent Kirby, Brian J [San Francisco, CA]; Reichmuth, David S [Oakland, CA]; Shepodd, Timothy J [Livermore, CA]

A microvalve having a cast-in-place and lithographically shaped mobile, polymer monolith for fluid flow control in microfluidic devices and method of manufacture. The microvalve contains a porous fluorinated polymer monolithic element whose pores are filled with an electrically insulating, high dielectric strength fluid, typically a perfluorinated liquid. This combination provides a microvalve that combines high dielectric strength with extremely low electrical conductivity. These microvalves have been shown to have resistivities of at least 100 G.OMEGA. and are compatible with solvents such as water at a pH between 2.7 and 9.0, 1-1 propanol, acetonitrile, and acetone.

Bistable Microvalve For Use With Microcatheter System

Patent Seward, Kirk Patrick [Dublin, CA]

A bistable microvalve of shape memory material is operatively connected to a microcatheter. The bistable microvalve includes a tip that can be closed off until it is in the desired position. Once it is in position it can be opened and closed. The system uses heat and pressure to open and close the microvalve. The shape memory material will change stiffness and shape when heated above a transition temperature. The shape memory material is adapted to move from a first shape to a second shape, either open or closed, where it can perform a desired function.

Fiber-based adsorbents having high adsorption capacities for recovering dissolved metals and methods thereof

Patent Janke, Christopher J; Dai, Sheng; Oyola, Yatsandra

A fiber-based adsorbent and a related method of manufacture are provided. The fiber-based adsorbent includes polymer fibers with grafted side chains and an increased surface area per unit weight over known fibers to increase the adsorption of dissolved metals, for example uranium, from aqueous solutions. The polymer fibers include a circular morphology in some embodiments, having a mean diameter of less than 15 microns, optionally less than about 1 micron. In other embodiments, the polymer fibers include a non-circular morphology, optionally defining multiple gear-shaped, winged-shaped or lobe-shaped projections along the length of the polymer fibers. A method for forming themore »« less
