Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to microfluidic systems and methods for controlling the flow of fluid using passive components engineered into the microchannels. These passive flow components include fluidic diodes, fluidic capacitors, and fluidic inductors. Various fluidic circuits are provided to control fluid flow including fluid rectifiers, fluid band pass filters, and fluid timers.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A fluidic capacitor comprising a first layer having a continuous fluid path thereon; a second layer having a recess thereon; a third layer of elastomeric material, wherein the third layer is sandwiched between the first layer and second layer such that the recess is in direct alignment with the fluid path, the recess fluidically isolated from the continuous fluid path by the elastomeric material; wherein the continuous fluid path, the recess on the sec…
