Abstract:

A spraying device for dispensing electrostatic liquid droplets includes a container holding a liquid at one end, and having a nozzle assembly with an aperture at another end. The nozzle assembly includes a longitudinal hollow tube terminating in a metallic structure. The metallic structure includes a metallic base plate having at least one aperture formed therein for fluid communication with the hollow tube. The longitudinal hollow tube includes an end inserted in the liquid. A charge accumulator disposed in the liquid accumulates electrostatic charges. A wire conductor between the base plate and the charge accumulator transfers the electrostatic charges from the liquid to the nozzle assembly.

International Classification:

G02B 620

US Classification:

359298, 359241, 359302

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for configuring and tuning a crystal by selectively controlling a fluid supplied to a plurality of nodes within a substrate. The apparatus comprises a substrate having at least one node that can be selectively supplied with a liquid that will change the material property of the node. The node may be a spherical cavity in a three-dimensional structure, a cylindrical aperture in two-dimensional structure, or a cavity in a one-dimensional structure. The node or nodes in the substrate are coupled to a fluid distribution assembly that selectively alters the material property of the nodes. The material property may be changed by moving the fluid or material in a fluid, using electrohydrodynamic pumping, electroosmotic pumping, electrophoresis, thermocapillarity, electrowetting or electrocapillarity. The change in the material property in at least one of the nodes changes the electromagnetic radiation filtering or switching characteristics of the crystal.

US Classification:

604191, 604239, 600575

Abstract:

The invention relates to analyte monitoring/drug (pharmaceutical agent) delivery device. The invention is suited for monitoring various blood constituents such as glucose. The device has a housing that at least partially encloses a plurality of microneedles disposed on a carrier and an electronics portion. Each microneedle is in fluid communication with a corresponding microchannel. Each microneedle is individually addressable. That is, each microneedle can be extended and retracted individually via an actuator. The electronics portion includes a processor and associated circuitry (e. g. , memory, supporting electronics and the like), a motor or the like, a sensor, a power supply (e. g. , battery) and optionally an interface. In general, the processor controls the operation of the device and is data communication with the actuator, motor, sensor and interface. The invention provides for autonomous operation, that is, without intervention of the user.
