  • Patent number: 7509906
    Abstract: The present invention provides an off-chip apparatus and a method for driving micro fluid wherein one or a plurality of impedance members, plunger positioning members and pressure difference design are used to drive the fluid and control the flow speed in a microfluidic system. The present invention also provides a method for driving fluid and controlling flow speed, wherein a slow pressure balancing mechanism is produced by the foregoing device so the flow speed of fluid can be controlled.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20040219711
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a polymer chip. The method first manufactures a plurality of unit mold, and each unit mold has a unit pattern corresponding to a pattern on the surface of the polymer chip for performing an operation. The unit molds are then selected and assembled to form an integrated mold according to a chip draft, and the unit pattern of the unit molds form an integrated pattern. The integrated mold is used in a molding process for manufacturing the polymer chip. The surface topography of the polymer chip is corresponding to the integrated pattern of the integrated mold, and can perform an integrated operation.

  • Patent number: 6485198
    Abstract: An optoelectronic transceiver that has integrated optical and electronic components, and can be passively aligned by a flip-chip method and a mechanical method is provided. The optoelectronic transceiver can be constructed by the key components of a circuit board, a silicon sub-mount, at least two IC chips formed on a silicon sub-mount, a microlens array, an optical fiber, and a receptacle for housing the silicon sub-mount, the at least two IC chips, the microlens array and the optical fiber connector in an aligned configuration. The at least two IC chips preferably include a laser diode, a laser diode driver, a photodetector and a photodetector amplifier. The mechanical alignment between a microlens array and a silicon sub-mount is performed by indentations provided in the surfaces of the two parts and the placement of spacer balls in the indentations.
