"Speculation runs the gamut," says Malka. "I'd like to see Valve integrate both the gravity gun and the portal gun, and also throw in a trans-dimensional layer reminiscent of Bioshock Infinite on top.
To enable the cell handling a fluid management system was developed which includes pneumatically actuated microfluidic valves integrated into the chip.
The actuation of four valves integrated Lab-on-CD system was characterized with respect to the mass of the flyball, the intensity of the magnetic field and the preload of the supporting spring.
These standards apply to all pumps used in the food processing industry, including centrifugal pumps, piston pumps, rotary pumps, peristaltic pumps, diaphragm pumps, water ring pumps, positive-displacement pumps, screw pumps, gear pumps as well as to homogenizers, dampening devices, and finally all valves integrated in the pump body.
Moreover, the check valve decreases the sensitivity of the CLPHP to its orientation, particularly when the check valve is integrated between the two heating sections.
The spring-loaded check valve was integrated into two locations in the initial CLPHP: between the two heating (CLPHP/CVh) sections and the two cooling (CLPHP/CVc) sections.
The nanoflow valve was integrated into glass microfluidic chips fabricated by wet chemical etching, and evaluated for flow loss, ability to maintain stable flow and effectiveness for removing trapped air.
A flow control valve is integrated at each line inlet in order to regulate the flow rate of water.
Individually addressable, reversible diaphragm valves are integrated on the disc for the automatic control of the fluidic transfer.
Tesla-type check valves were integrated into a flat-plate oscillating heat pipe (FP-OHP) in order to promote and sustain a desired circulatory flow to increase overall thermal performance.
