20100180961 | MICROFLUIDIC STRUCTURES WITH INTEGRATED DEVICES - A microfluidic device having a glass, glass-ceramic, or ceramic structure, said structure including one or more passages defined therein with at least one first passage accessible through at least one first port wherein the first passage contains at least one solid object disposed therein said solid object including a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion differeing from the glass, glass-ceramic, or ceramic of said structure, said solid object resting in said first passage substantially without compressive stress from an inside surface of said passage at room temperature. | 07-22-2010 |
20100233042 | FLUID PORTING ASSEMBLY AND MICROREACTOR INCORPORATING THE SAME - A fluid porting assembly for a microreactor comprising a process fluid passageway, a pliable seal, and a cooling fluid passageway is provided. The pliable seal is positioned in the vicinity of the process fluid outlet and is configured to define a sealing interface between the process fluid outlet and a fluid port of a microreactor. The cooling fluid passageway terminates at a cooling fluid interface and defines a dispensing gap between the cooling fluid interface and the sealing interface. The cooling fluid outlet is configured to distribute cooling fluid about a periphery of the pliable seal and to direct cooling fluid away from the periphery of the pliable seal through the dispensing gap when the pliable seal of the fluid porting assembly engages a fluid port of a microreactor. The cooling fluid removes heat from areas of the microreactor in the vicinity of the fluid port and pliable seal. | 09-16-2010 |
