  • Patent number: 8216516
    Abstract: An analytical system for performing centrifugal analysis on a working fluid with different components includes a uniform-dividing unit with a reduced cross section to divide the working fluid, a separating unit connected to the uniform-dividing unit, and a detecting unit. The detecting unit includes a detection compartment and a constant-quantity region connected to the separating unit through a separation channel. When rotating the uniform-dividing unit, the working fluid located at the uniform-dividing unit is transmitted to and separated by the separating unit, thereby causing one component of the working fluid to be separated from the other component and transmitted to the detection compartment through the constant-quantity region. With constant-quantity region, the detection compartment can be prevented from flushing by the excess of the separated component, and thus yield of product detection can be increased and different assays detection is carried out with a small sample volume at the same time.

  • Patent number: 7858047
    Abstract: A fluidic device is provided for sealing a proper amount of fluid with a brittle material. By moving an adsorbate through an external adsorption force, the brittle material for pre-sealing is broken, and the fluid flows out to interact with the external environment to generate a pump reaction. In addition, the invention may also be used for storing a liquid reagent in a device for a long time. Thereby, the fluidic device can be made small and portable.

  • Patent number: 7847611
    Abstract: A level shifter includes a Not gate coupled to a signal input and operable between a first high level and a low level; a first PMOS transistor coupled to a second voltage source and a control end; a first NMOS transistor coupled to the first PMOS transistor, a Not-gate output end and a reference voltage; and a control circuit coupled to the signal input, the Not-gate output end and the second voltage source. When the signal input and the Not-gate output end are at the first high level and the low level, respectively, the first PMOS transistor is turned on so that the signal output is at a second high level; and when the signal input and the Not-gate output end are switched contrarily, the first PMOS transistor is turned off and the signal output is at the low level.
