| 20080233011 | MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES - A microfluidic device having a first semi-crystalline polymer film with an amorphous or quasi-amorphous surface adhered to an amorphous or quasi-amorphous surface of a second semi-crystalline polymer film. The first semi-crystalline polymer film may also be adhered in part to a conductive layer. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090007969 | MICROFLUIDIC ACTUATION STRUCTURES - An article includes a microfluidic channel for moving fluid therethrough and at least one microfluidic actuator coupled to the microfluidic channel. The microfluidic actuator includes a deformable substance configured to enter the microfluidic channel to control fluid flow through the microfluidic channel. A method includes applying pressure to a deformable substance of a microfluidic actuator coupled to a microfluidic channel, such that the deformable substance of the microfluidic actuator enters the microfluidic channel. Another method includes inserting a needle into a microfluidic channel, applying pressure to a deformable substance of a microfluidic actuator coupled to the microfluidic channel, such that the deformable substance of the microfluidic actuator enters the microfluidic channel to form a seal around the needle, and injecting or extracting a fluid through the needle. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090145543 | CARRIER TAPES HAVING TEAR-INITIATED COVER TAPES AND METHODS OF MAKING THEREOF - A cover tape for use with a carrier tape, where the cover tape includes at least one tear-initiation feature that defines a predetermined direction of tear to initiate a tear along portions of the cover tape. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20120006947 | WIRE MANAGEMENT ARTICLE - A wire management article includes a base sheet and a plurality of wire management elements. The base sheet has a major surface from which the wire management elements project. The wire management elements define a plurality of channels. Each channel is configured to retain at least one wire. The wire management article may include a cover sheet releasably attached to the base sheet. The wire management article may be part of a wire management system. | 01-12-2012 |
