System and method for movement and timing control

This invention describes a device for precisely dispensing fluids, like reagents for lab tests. It uses a substrate with tiny chambers and a flexible barrier. A non-electrically powered pushing mechanism, which has a small bump, presses against this barrier to release the fluid from the chambers in a controlled way. The claims focus on this specific mechanical, non-electrical method of fluid release.

Why it matters: Since 2014, microfluidic fabrication and integrated mechanical actuation have become more precise and accessible, making non-electrically powered fluid control more viable for low-cost, portable devices.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMicrofluidic fabrication, custom mechanical actuation
