20100133966 | APPLIANCE - An appliance such as a refrigerator, dishwasher or other appliance, is adapted to be installed within a kitchen or cabinet space. The appliance has a chassis with two side members, a top member and a bottom member. The side members are spaced apart and parallel and vertical in use and the top and bottom members extend between the two side members. The appliance includes at least one tab, the tab extending from a side member or the top or bottom members so that a front portion of the tab extends forward of a front edge of the chassis. The front portion of the tab has an aperture for fixing the tab to an inside of the cabinet or kitchen space with a fastener to fix the appliance within the cabinet or kitchen space. | 06-03-2010 |

20100303687 | FLUIDIC DEVICES WITH DIAPHRAGM VALVES - This invention provides fluidic devices, in particular microfluidic devices, with diaphragm valves having low failure rates. Low failure rates are achieved by inhibiting sticking of the diaphragm to functional surfaces such as valve seats, valve chamber and fluidic channels and conduits. One way to implement this is to provide exposed surfaces facing the diaphragm, particularly valve seats, with a low energy material, such as a noble metal, a perfluorinated polymer, a self-assembled monolayer, hard diamond, diamond-like carbon or a metal oxide. In other embodiments, the valves are provided with ridges and the diaphragm is adhered to the fluidic or actuation layer with an adhesive material. | 12-02-2010 |
20110076735 | Microfluidic Devices - Methods and devices for the interfacing of microchips to various types of modules are disclosed. The technology disclosed can be used as sample preparation and analysis systems for various applications, such as DNA sequencing and genotyping, proteomics, pathogen detection, diagnostics and biodefense. | 03-31-2011 |
20110126911 | Composite Plastic Articles - This invention provides composite plastic articles and methods of making them. The articles can be fluidic or microfluidic devices having fluidic conduits and, optionally, pneumatic conduits that regulate flow in the fluidic conduits. The articles comprise a first substrate coated with a layer of a material that comprises, or onto which have been introduced, reactive groups. For example, the substrate can be a plastic coated with an oxide or a siloxane onto which hydroxyl groups have been introduced. These articles are covalently bonded with other articles comprising reactive groups on their surfaces, for example, polysiloxanes treated to have silanol groups. Certain articles have specified locations on their surfaces that are not bonded to the other piece. For example, the coating can be removed from these locations before bonding. Such locations can be useful as functional elements of various devices, such as valve seats in valves of microfluidic devices. | 06-02-2011 |
20120088249 | MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES - Methods and devices for the interfacing of microchips to various types of modules are disclosed. The technology disclosed can be used as sample preparation and analysis systems for various applications, such as DNA sequencing and genotyping, proteomics, pathogen detection, diagnostics and biodefense. | 04-12-2012 |
20120115189 | MICROFLUIDIC AND NANOFLUIDIC DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND APPLICATIONS - The present invention discloses the integration of programmable microfluidic circuits to achieve practical applications to process biochemical and chemical reactions and to integrate these reactions. In some embodiments workflows for biochemical reactions or chemical workflows are combined. Microvalves such as programmable microfluidic circuit with Y valves and flow through valves are disclosed. In some embodiments microvalves of the present invention are used for mixing fluids, which may be part of an integrated process. These processes include mixing samples and moving reactions to an edge or reservoir for modular microfluidics, use of capture regions, and injection into analytical devices on separate devices. In some embodiments star and nested star designs, or bead capture by change of cross sectional area of a channel in a microvalve are used. Movement of samples between temperature zones are further disclosed using fixed temperature and movement of the samples by micropumps. | 05-10-2012 |
