Publication number: 20180297107Abstract: The disclosure relates to a machining system for aircraft structural components, comprising a first frame for mounting a workpiece, and a second frame for mounting a tool pair including an upper tool and a lower tool cooperating therewith. The workpiece is positioned between the upper tool and the lower tool. The second frame is formed to be displaceable at least in a longitudinal direction with respect to a base. The tool pair is held in the second frame such that it is displaceable in a transverse direction which is at an angle to the longitudinal direction. The second frame is held on at least one swivel bearing so that the second frame can be adjustably swiveled together with the tool pair about a swivel axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2016Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventor: Christian Meiners

Publication number: 20070177458Abstract: A method for mixing fluid streams, microfluidic mixer and microfluidic chip utilizing same utilize a topological mixing scheme that exploits the laminarity of the flow to repeatedly fold the flow and exponentially increase the concentration gradients to obtain fast and efficient mixing by diffusion (FIG. 1a). It is based on helical flow channels with opposite chiralities that split rotate and recombine the fluid stream in a topology reminiscent of a series of MÖBIUS bands. This geometry is realized in a simple six-stage, two-layer elastomer structure with a footprint of 400 ?m×300 ?m per stage that mixes two solutions efficiently at Reynolds numbers between 0.1 and 2. This represents more than an order of magnitude reduction in the size of microfluid mixers that can be manufactured in standard multilayer soft lithography techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2004Publication date: August 2, 2007Applicant: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGANInventors: Jens-Christian Meiners, Hao Chen
