Patent number: 11666875Abstract: A dispensing device, comprising a plurality of microfluidic pumps, microfluidic valves, and a microfluidic mixer chip, for receiving and mixing microfluidic amounts of a plurality of fluids having differing viscosities, is disclosed. The device includes a plurality of pathways for moving fluids from associated reservoirs to the microfluidic mixer chip. A mix controller controls the microfluidic pumps and valves so that the fluids, having different viscosities, can be accurately mixed at specified microfluidic amounts or volumes according to a specified microfluidic recipe, and the microfluidic mixture dispensed from the device. The device can be in communication with a software application implemented on a mobile compute device, such as a smartphone, and receive instructions for implementing the specified microfluidic recipe from the software application such that the operation of device components is at the direction of the software application executed on the mobile compute device.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: ALTOPA, INC.Inventors: Matt Wilson, Jon Whalen, Todd Wilson, Pete Crawford, Scott Eric Liddle, Keith Gausmann, Jaysun Giesler, Nathan Thomas Luck, Nicole Kaylor Wicker, Jon Collette

Publication number: 20200254407Abstract: A portable microfluidic mixer system includes a blend application to issue blend instructions, and a microfluidic mixer device. The microfluidic mixer device includes a housing, microfluidic pumps and valves within the device housing, a microfluidic dispenser, a microfluidic mixer chip, and a mix controller. The microfluidic mixer chip receives and meters microfluidic amounts of one or more fluids. The mix controller electronically communicates with the blend application to receives blend application blend instructions. The microfluidic mixer device includes fluid pathways for fluid communication between one or more fluid canisters and the microfluidic mixer chip, and between the microfluidic mixer chip and the microfluidic dispenser.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2018Publication date: August 13, 2020Applicant: ALTOPA, INC.Inventors: Matt WILSON, Scott Eric LIDDLE, Keith GAUSMANN, Jaysun GIESLER, Nathan Thomas LUCK, Lonnie Brent POOLE, Jon WHALEN, Todd WILSON, Pete CRAWFORD, Nicole Kaylor WICKER, Jon COLLETTE
