A review of the state of the art in micropumping technologies for driving fluid through
microchannels is presented with a particular emphasis on small-scale cooling applications …

Microchannel heat sinks are widely regarded as being among the most effective heat
removal techniques from space-constrained electronic devices. However, the fluid flow and …

Reports the completion of four fundamental fluidic operations considered essential to build
digital microfluidic circuits, which can be used for lab-on-a-chip or micro total analysis …

This paper deals with electrowetting (EW) and electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD)
principles applied to microfluidic devices. EW and EWOD are principles that can control …

Electrically controlled droplet-based labs-on-a-chip operate under the principles of electro-
capillarity and dielectrophoresis. The microfluidic mechanics of manipulating electrified …

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are evolving into highly integrated technologies
for a variety of application areas. Add the biological dimension to the mix and a host of new …

Continuous electrowetting (CEW) is demonstrated to be an effective actuation mechanism
for reconfigurable radio frequency (RF) devices that use non-toxic liquid-metal tuning …

In the 70+ year history of control theory and engineering, few applications have stirred as
much excitement as flow control. The same can probably be said for the general area of fluid …

This paper reports a breakthrough in our quest for digital microfluidic circuits-full completion
of all four fundamental microfluidic operations:(1) creating,(2) transporting,(3) cutting, and (4) …

In this paper, a phase-change type micropump is presented. This micropump consists of a
pair of aluminum flap valves and a phase-change type actuator. The actuator is composed of …
