Fluidic interconnects provide the passages for the transport of liquid analytes, containing mass and information, from one component to another in a microfluidic system. The pressure capacity of a novel, modular, gasketless, chip-to-chip microfluidic interconnect that forms a seal with a liquid bridge suspended between concentric through-holes was evaluated experimentally (see Figure 1). [5] Th...

A feature of stability diagrams of liquid bridges between unequal disks subjected to small axial gravity forces is that, for each separation of disks, there is a value of microgravity for which an absolute minimum volume limit is reached. The dependence of such microgravity values on the liquid bridge geometry has been experimentally checked by using the neutral buoyancy technique, experimental...

Magnetic beads with ~1.9 µm average diameter were used to transport microliter volumes of liquids between contiguous liquid segments with a tube for the purpose of investigating phase change of those liquid segments. The magnetic beads were externally controlled using a magnet, allowing for the beads to bridge the air valve between the adjacent liquid segments. A hydrophobic coating was applied...

The addition of polymers is known to fundamentally affect capillary singularities such as drop pinch-off. In this study, we wonder how polymeric drops spread onto a solid. Although the dynamics liquid bridge connecting solid similar that pure water, find interface gets significantly sharper, which quantified by measuring curvature bridge. These findings are reminiscent what found for coalescenc...

general kind of encroachment of river is constructing a bridge on it. purpose of encroachment of river is occupation part of river and flood plain for constructing bridge. often being economical of bridge innovation affirmated that most of encroachment take place to river and flood plain, which this encroachment can be in form of embankment in flood plain of river or into the main bed of river ...
