Patent application number | Description | Published |
20110005895 | PART ALIGNING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A part aligning apparatus and method are provided. The part aligning apparatus includes a vibrating container unit which transfers parts having a nonsymmetrical structure, an alignment direction setting unit which receives the parts transferred by the vibrating container unit, and passes parts aligned in a first alignment direction and returns to the vibrating container unit parts aligned in a second alignment direction different from the first alignment direction, based on a size difference of contact portions of the parts according to alignment directions of the transferred parts, and an ejecting unit which receives the parts passed through the alignment direction setting unit and sequentially ejects the received parts to an inlet of a tray. | 01-13-2011 |
20110100476 | VALVE UNIT, MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE HAVING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF DRIVING THE VALVE UNIT - A normally open valve unit to close a channel, a microfluidic device equipped with the same, and a method of driving the valve unit are provided. The valve unit includes a valve substance including a phase transition material, a valve substance chamber which communicates with the channel and in which the valve substance is disposed, and a fusion structure formed in a section of the channel in which ,wherein when the valve substance contained in the valve substance chamber is fused by applied energy and flows into the section of the channel in which the fusion structure is formed, and the valve substance is heated to melt the fusion structure and conduct fused bonding of the channel, thereby closing the channel. | 05-05-2011 |
20110121196 | MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE, LIGHT IRRADIATION APPARATUS, MICORFLUIDIC SYSTEM COMPRISING THE SAME AND METHOD FOR DRIVING THE SYSTEM - A microfluidic system includes a microfluidic device including a chamber which contains a fluid sample, a channel which is connected to the chamber and through which the fluid sample flows, and a valve which controls flow of the fluid sample through the channel; an irradiation apparatus which irradiates electromagnetic energy; and a diffuser which diffuses and distributes the electromagnetic energy irradiated by the irradiation apparatus to an irradiation region of the microfluidic device. | 05-26-2011 |
20110124118 | MICROFLUIDIC STRUCTURE FOR DETECTING BIOMOLECULE AND MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE COMPRISING THE SAME - Disclosed are a micro-fluidic structure for detecting biomolecules and a micro-fluidic device having the same. More particularly, a target material including at least two cis-diols is detected by a first material containing a boronate moiety and a second material containing another boronate moiety while generating electrical signals. | 05-26-2011 |
20110176963 | APPARATUS FOR ANALYZING SAMPLE - A apparatus for analyzing sample to prevent a sample from being stuck to a surface of the apparatus for analyzing sample in the course of being injected into the apparatus for analyzing sample. The apparatus for analyzing sample includes a platform having a disk shape. The platform includes chambers and channels, a sample inlet hole which is formed in an outer surface the platform and through which a sample is injected into the platform; an opening which is formed in the outer surface of the platform and through which a residual of the sample, present on the outer surface of the platform around the sample inlet hole, is introduced into a receiving space isolated from the chambers and channels; and a barrier which is formed on the outer surface of the platform around a portion of the opening to prevent the residual of the sample from moving past the opening in a radial outward direction of the platform. | 07-21-2011 |
20120122139 | MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE AND HEMOGLOBIN MEASUREMENT METHOD USING THE SAME - A microfluidic device and a method for measurement of biomaterials using the same. The microfluidic device includes a microfluidic structure including: a sample chamber which receives and accommodates blood; a reagent chamber which contains a luminescent reactant; a first detection chamber which contains a first material that is positively charged; a second detection chamber which is connected to the first detection chamber, and contains a second material having a boronate moiety; and at least one channel which connects the sample chamber, the reagent chamber and the first and second detection chambers. | 05-17-2012 |
