| 20090209039 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MICROFLUIDIC INJECTION - A method and apparatus for producing a jet or droplet of liquid. An injector device may include a reservoir in fluid communication with a nozzle, and a pressure gradient may be produced in the reservoir (e.g., by a piezoelectric element in an initial direction that is transverse to the emission direction of the jet or droplet) to produce a jet of liquid from the nozzle. The jet or droplet of liquid may be introduced through a cell membrane and into the cell interior in such a way that damage to the cell membrane that would cause cell death is avoided. An electrode may be formed adjacent a fluid channel by conducting a liquid material, such as solder, from a reservoir and into an electrode portion of an electrode channel to a location adjacent the fluid channel. A passageway between the electrode channel and the fluid channel may prevent flow of the liquid electrode material into the fluid channel during electrode formation. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20090250555 | Solar Powered Excess Electron Emission Device - The chassis of a spacecraft has one side exposed to ultraviolet photons and another side shielded from the ultraviolet photons. An electrically conductive surface is disposed on the exposed side of the chassis and is electrically isolated from the chassis. A field-emission array device has a gate, an emitter array, a first terminal electrically connected to the gate, and a second terminal electrically connected to the emitter array. The first terminal electrically couples the gate to the electrically conductive surface on the exposed side of the chassis, and the second terminal electrically couples the emitter array to a surface on the shielded side of the chassis. The emitter array discharges electrons from the surface on the shielded side when a voltage difference in excess of a threshold voltage develops between the gate and the emitter array because of differential charging of the exposed and shielded sides of the chassis. | 10-08-2009 |
