Embodiment Construction

[0151] Fluid manipulation literature and methods

[0152] Various embodiments of the invention include: a controller to control the flow of fluid in the device; and various fluid handling structures including one or more movable members, semi-permeable membranes, electrodes, sensors, or combinations thereof.

[0153] A controller according to the invention may take any suitable form, and preferably includes an actuator to activate components associated with fluid flow within the device.

[0154] The fluid handling or actuation components may be made from any suitable material. For example, they can be made from a single shaped substrate or from multiple substrates. The fluid handling structure may be formed in any suitable way, for example it may be formed in a monolithic substrate or from several layers of the substrate.

[0155] The actuator may be external to the device or part of the fluid treatment device, or formed by part of the fluid treatment device and an external ...

Abstract

A fluid handling structure includes: an actuation area (03, 08) to control fluid flow within the structure; and a plurality of actuation components (09, 11, 12, 13) within the actuation area (03, 08); wherein the actuation area (63, 68) is constructed and arranged to activate or control each of the plurality of actuation components (09, 11, 12, 13). A fluid handling structure comprising: a fluid channel (204); and a deformable material (202); wherein the fluid channel is bounded, at least in part, by the deformable material (202). A fluidic device comprising: at least one channel (403) defining a path for the travel of an electromagnetic wave. A method of performing a function with an instrument, the method comprising: associating an insert with the instrument, the insert comprising one or more of program code, data, or commands, which enable performance of the function.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to structures, devices and methods for manipulating the flow of fluid, optionally within a structure having at least one dimension substantially less than 10 millimeters, but typically less than 1 millimeter. More particularly, the present invention relates to fluid handling structures that allow for the external handling of fluid within the device. A single actuator may act on more than one fluid handling structure. Fluid handling schemes may involve the use of movable parts, electrodes and semi-permeable membranes or combinations thereof. The deformable member may deform directly into the fluid handling structure, or indirectly as part of the fluid handling structure, to cause or prevent pressure or shape changes within the fluid handling member. Gas permeable membranes can be used to restrict fluid flow within structures for pumping, valve control, chemical storage and injection, filtration, or degassing. [...
