A latchable microvalve using phase change of paraffin wax
This paper presents a novel latchable phase-change microvalve that can potentially be used for flow gating in portable lab-on-a-chip systems here minimal energy consumption is desired. The microvalve innovatively exploits paraffin wax of low melting point, whose solid–liquid phase hanges allow the closing and opening of fluid flow through deformable microchannel ceiling. The latchable phase-cha...
متن کاملVisualization of the pulmonary valve using cine MR imaging.
PURPOSE To evaluate the capability of bright-blood cine MR to directly visualize the leaflets of the valve replacement in pulmonary position following Ross operation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Long and short axis views of the pulmonary valve were obtained in 10 normal subjects and 14 patients after Ross operation. Valve morphology and function were analyzed and signal-to-noise (SNR) and contrast-t...
متن کاملA Self-Controlled Microcontrolled Microvalve
Integrated microvalves are needed for a broad range of semiconductor-processing-related applications. These include precision mass microflow controllers (laFCs) for dry etch systems, miniature gas chromatography systems for real-time monitoring, point-of-use semiconductor process reactant generators, and compact control systems for minienvironments. This paper reports a pneumatically actuated, ...
متن کاملAssociation between Body Mass Index and Mitral Valve Prolapse
Introduction: Body mass index (BMI) can affect cardiac morphology; however, the relationship between BMI and valvular heart diseases has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study aimed to determine the relationship between BMI and mitral valve prolapse (MVP) as one of the most common valve diseases worldwide. It can help us to better understand pathophysiology of this common disease. Materials ...
متن کاملVolume distribution of cerebrospinal fluid using multispectral MR imaging
The goal of this study was to design a reliable method to quantify and visualize the anatomical distribution of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) intracranially. The method should be clinically applicable and based on multispectral analysis of three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance images. T1-weighted, T2-weighted and proton density-weighted fast 3D gradient pulse sequences were used to form high re...
