Electromagnetically-Actuated Reciprocating Pump for High-Flow-Rate Microfluidic Applications
This study presents an electromagnetically-actuated reciprocating pump for high-flow-rate microfluidic applications. The pump comprises four major components, namely a lower glass plate containing a copper microcoil, a middle PMMA plate incorporating a PDMS diaphragm with a surface-mounted magnet, upper PMMA channel plates, and a ball-type check valve located at the channel inlet. When an AC cu...
متن کاملThermally-actuated, phase change flow control for microfluidic systems.
An easy to implement, thermally-actuated, noninvasive method for flow control in microfluidic devices is described. This technique takes advantage of the phase change of the working liquid itself-the freezing and melting of a portion of a liquid slug-to noninvasively close and open flow passages (referred to as a phase change valve). The valve was designed for use in a miniature diagnostic syst...
متن کاملSyringe-pump-induced fluctuation in all-aqueous microfluidic system implications for flow rate accuracy.
We report a new method to display the minute fluctuations induced by syringe pumps on microfluidic flows by using a liquid-liquid system with an ultralow interfacial tension. We demonstrate that the stepper motor inside the pump is a source of fluctuations in microfluidic flows by comparing the frequencies of the ripples observed at the interface to that of the pulsation of the stepper motor. W...
متن کاملElectromagnetically Actuated Acoustic Amplitude Modulation Synthesis
This paper discusses a new approach to acoustic amplitude modulation. Building on prior work with electromagnetic augmentation of acoustic instruments, we begin with a theory of operation model to describe the mechanical forces necessary to produce acoustic amplitude modulation synthesis. We then propose an implementation of our model as an instrumental prototype. The results illustrate that ou...
متن کاملThe EMvibe: An Electromagnetically Actuated Vibraphone
The EMvibe is an augmented vibraphone that allows for continuous control over the amplitude and spectrum of individual notes. The system uses electromagnetic actuators to induce vibrations in the vibraphone’s aluminum tone bars. The tone bars and the electromagnetic actuators are coupled via neodymium magnets affixed to each bar. The acoustic properties of the vibraphone allowed us to develop a...
