摘要： A control system coupled to a pressure sensor calibrates the pressure sensor. The control system may measure a plurality of capacitance values at a plurality of corresponding applied voltages to compare the values with a first calibration mechanism generated by sample pressure sensors in a comparison. A final calibration mechanism may be generated by adjusting the first calibration mechanism in response to the comparison. The unknown differential pressure may be applied to a diaphragm of the pressure sensor. A capacitance value at the unknown differential pressure may then be measured. Using the final calibration mechanism, the differential pressure at the measured capacitance value may be retrieved.

摘要： An integratable fluid flow and property microsensor assembly is configured to be operably embedded in a microfluidic cartridge of the type used in lab-on-a-chip systems. The assembly is a robust package having a microstructure flow sensor contained within a housing in order to achieve a robust sensing device. The cartridge provides a flow path to the assembly, which directs the fluid across the flow sensor and returns the fluid to the cartridge flow path. The flow sensor monitors the controlled flow of fluid and transmits signals indicative of that flow. The assembly structure provides a robust sensor that is operable and accurate in many different applications.

摘要： An integrated mesopump-sensor suitable for disposition in two- and three-dimensional arrays having small dimensions is disclosed. One mesopump is formed of an electrostatically attractable flexible diaphragm disposed through cavities or pumping chambers formed between two opposing electrostatically chargeable material layers. Fluid is pumped through the chambers by sequentially moving the diaphragm toward the first chargeable layer, then towards the second chargeable layer, which can pull and push the fluid through a series of chambers, and past the sensor. One group of sensors utilizes multiple and varied chemoresistive sensors which can vary in resistance differently in response to the presence of various analytes. Another group of sensors utilizes chemo-fluorescent sensors that fluoresce in the presence of particular analytes. Some mesopump-sensor systems can be manufactured using MEMS technology and can be coupled to controllers for sequencing the pumps and analyzing sensor outputs using methods including Principle Component Analysis.

摘要： An electrostatic actuator and drive configuration device for use in a system requiring a long term ON state operation. The device includes a first electrostatic actuator positioned to operate in the system requiring the long term ON state upon activation of a power supply. The device also includes a second electrostatic actuator positioned to operate in the system requiring the long term ON state upon activation of the power supply. A timer is connected to the power supply to alternately select the first or the second actuator for activation to drive the selected actuator to the ON state. The timer is controlled to select the first or second electrostatic actuator on an alternating basis to prevent either electrostatic actuator from remaining in the ON state for more than a predetermined time without the other actuator being selected. The electrostatic actuators may be configured in parallel or in series, depending upon the demands of the system. When the electrostatic actuators are switches, linear actuators or relays, they are normally connected side by side mechanically parallel. When the actuators are shutters, mirrors or valves, normal connection is in sequence end to end. When devices are selected to be in the ON condition, the selection should be such that each device is closed before the other is opened.

摘要： A mesopump having a plurality of elementary cells. The cells each have a body forming a cavity having an electrode on one curved surface and a second surface facing the electrode. Electrical connections selectively energize the electrode. A diaphragm is mounted under tensile load with its major portion located in the cavity so that the diaphragm deflects toward the electrode surfaces upon application of voltage to the electrode and returns to its original position when voltage is stopped. A lateral conduit is located at at least one end of the body for fluid communication with the cavity. The lateral conduits are operably connected to a portion of the diaphragm mounted in the body and are opened and closed by movement of the diaphragm. A vertical conduit on at least one curved surface controls flow of fluid by movement of the diaphragm into and out of contact with the vertical conduit. The cells are interconnected to form the mesopump whereby activation of the electrodes causes movement of the diaphragm between the electrodes to move fluid into and out of the body. The preferred mesopump includes sets of three cell groups so that fluid enters a first cell from a source of fluid, is expelled to a second cell through a vertical conduit; expelled via a lateral conduit to a third cell, and expelled therefrom, whereby fluid passes from cell to cell upon activation of the electrodes.

摘要： A touch mode electrostatic actuator and method of making the same, having first and second electrode driven surfaces positioned to move between a spaced apart relationship and a contact relationship when dielectric layer on each of the first and second electrode surfaces is subjected to a source of electrical potential to selectively actuate and discharge the dielectric layers to cause the movement between the relationships. The electrostatic actuators of this invention includes a hydrophobic layer for preventing absorption of water thereon, the hydrophobic layers being adapted to cause condensed water to form drops and prevent formation of a continuous water layer. The hydrophobic layer may be a coating on a hydrophilic actuator or, alternatively, may be made entirely from a hydrophobic material. The preferred hydrophobic material is selected from a group consisting of organic materials such as octadecyltrichlorosilane, perfluoro-decyltrichlorosilane, tetrafluoroethylene, and inorganic materials such as a diamond type carbon layer. The hydrophobic layer is electrically isolating and chemically stable in its intended environment. In the preferred embodiments, the hydrophobic material is applied to the hydrophilic dielectric layer by a method selected from dipping, plasma deposition, Langmuir-Blodgett technique, sputtering and CVD deposition.
