  • Method for the detection and quantification of analytes using three-dimensional paper-based devices
    Patent number: 9810658
    Abstract: Described herein are three-dimensional (3-D) paper fluidic devices. The entire 3-D device is fabricated on a support layer formed from a single sheet of material and assembled by folding the support layer. The folded structure may be enclosed in an impermeable cover or package. Chemically sensitive particles may be disposed in the support layer for use in detecting analytes.
    Type: Grant

  • Rapid action coupling system for a heat exchanger fluid tank integral with an expansion vessel
    Patent number: 4995449
    Abstract: A fluid tank and an expansion vessel are separated from one another by a planar wall portion having two openings communicating with the fluid inlet and outlet compartments, respectively. A coupling device cast en bloc includes a stopper that plugs an opening of the expansion vessel, and two fluid inlet and outlet necks penetrate the stopper and have respective openings that coincide with the openings of the two respective chambers.
