Abstract: A compact pneumatic hand tool composed of a body, a cylinder assembly, a sealing pad, a striking assembly, a front cap, a control knob, a ventilation cap and threaded bolts. A first bearing is mounted around a rear end of the striking assembly and an outer rim of the first bearing is securely received in a central hole of the cylinder assembly. A second bearing is mounted on a central shaft of the rotor in the cylinder assembly. The control knob is mounted on the cylinder assembly. A front end of the central shaft of the striking assembly extends out of a front cap and the body is connected to the front cap via threaded bolts so that the striking assembly and the cylinder assembly are sealingly enclosed between the front cap and the body to accomplish the compact and light-weight requirements.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for combining a fluid delivery system with an analysis system for performing immunological, chemical, or biological assays. The method provides a miniature plastic fluidic cartridge containing a reaction chamber with a plurality of immobilized species, a capillary channel, and a pump structure along with an external linear actuator corresponding to the pump structure to provide force for the fluid delivery. The plastic fluidic cartridge can be configured in a variety of ways to affect the performance and complexity of the assay performed.

Abstract: A process of forming a nitrocellulose film on a carrier includes the steps of (i) atomizing a nitrocellulose solution to form a plurality of fine nitrocellulose particles and (ii) evenly spraying the nitrocellulose particles on the carrier to form the nitrocellulose film. The film has a predetermined thickness. The nitrocellulose solution is atomized by an ultrasonic spraying nozzle to control a size of each of the nitrocellulose particles to be sprayed on the carrier. The nebulizer can be air-assisted by inert air to control characteristics of the nitrocellulose spray pattern.

Abstract: A pneumatic apparatus and method for driving a microflow is disclosed. The microflow driving apparatus of this invention comprises an external pneumatic driving device that generates an array of airflows; an air gallery to accept airflows of said pneumatic driving device and to generate a suction force and an exclusion force; and a fluid channel connected with said air gallery to allow a fluid to flow inside it. In the air gallery, a trapezoid block is provided to generate an air circle from at least one of said airflows. An open gap is provided in the fluid channel at the connection of the air gallery and the fluid channel. When different combinations of airflows are introduced into the air gallery, a suction force or an exclusion force is generated to drive the reaction fluid inside the fluid channel to proceed, retreat or pause. A method using the apparatus for driving a microflow is also disclosed.
