  • Patent number: 9531219
    Abstract: Disclosed is a non-contact power feeding apparatus using a conductive fluid, through which an electric railroad vehicle or a trolleybus receives required power from a contact wire in a non-contact state by using the conductive fluid. The non-contact power feeding apparatus according to the present invention includes: a fluid injection hole defined in a vehicle to inject the conductive fluid toward the contact wire; a conductive fluid container for supplying the conductive fluid that is injected through the fluid injection hole; a pressing pump for injecting the conductive fluid within the conductive fluid container through the fluid injection hole; and a current collection terminal disposed on a side of the fluid injection hole to receive the power from the contact wire in a non-contact manner by using the conductive fluid as a medium.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7981237
    Abstract: A micro- or nano-fluidic chip fabricated with a Norland Optical Adhesive (NOA), an acrylated polyurethane-based UV-polymerizable optical adhesive. The micro- or nano-fluidic chip has sequentially an inlet, a channel, and an outlet. The channel has a pillar in the region of the outlet to prevent beads from flowing out, and the surface of the channels in the micro- or nano-fluidic chip is hydrophilic, which generates spontaneous flow in the channels by a capillary force without any extra external pumping.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a micro- or nano-fluidic chip fabricated with a NOA. Said micro- or nano-fluidic chip comprises sequentially an inlet, a channel, and an outlet, wherein the channel has pillar in the region of the outlet to prevent beads from flowing out. The surface of channels in the micro- or nano-fluidic chip of the invention is hydrophilc, which generates spontaneous flow in the channels by a capillary force without any extra external pumping.
