We have fabricated and characterized a reciprocating poly(methylmetacrylate) (PMMA) ball-valve micropump actuated with a miniaturized cylindrical electromagnetic circuit. By finite element calculations, we have optimized the structure of the electromagnet that actuates a rare-earth permanent magnet

We report on the design, fabncatlon and performance of a s&on nucrovalve for small gas flows It consists of two mlcromachmed components which are bonded together One part contams the gas flow inlet, the other part a deflectable silicon membrane Tlus membrane may be activated by a combmation of elect
Magnetically driven linear micro-actuators with 1 mN output force and hundreds of microns of total travel have been realized using LIGAlike processing techniques. These devices are driven at resonance frequencies of around 350 Hz and exhibit quality factors of about 300 in air. Exploiting wire-wound
We present a design for a miniature self-priming peristaltic pump actuated with a single linear actuator, and which can be manufactured using conventional materials and methods. The pump is tolerant of bubbles and particles and can pump liquids, foams, and gases. We explore designs actuated by a mot
