Abstract: A system and method/apparatus is provided which enables the intuitive manipulation of small amounts of fluids in a closed environment such as a display, an analysis system, a chemical reactor, with complete user safety ensured. With this invention, the user can move a droplet of fluid seemingly using the tip of his finger, while not really touching the fluid. Usage for this invention may be found in fluidic displays, medical analysis equipment, chemical analysis equipment, educational material, and similar applications.

Abstract: A construct (10) is provided having an aesthetic form adapted to please a wearer and to be worn by the wearer. The construct provides a structure on which functional elements are integrated. The functional elements include several elements. A first element is a fluid reservoir. A second element is at least two fluids (12, 14) disposed in the fluid reservoir. A third element is a motion generator (22) having a state in equilibrium with respect to an attraction force and a further attraction or repulsion force when the construct is at rest, the motion generator causing an animation effect when the construct is moved relative to an attraction or repulsion force.

Abstract: A construct having an aesthetic form is adapted to please a wearer and to be worn by the wearer. The construct provides a structure having a wearer connection element such as a ring, a chain, a wristband, a pin, a clasp, a clip, and a body piercing element. The functional elements including a fluid reservoir in which at least two fluids are disposed, and a motion generation system are integrated on the structure, The motion generation system is functionally affixed to the structure so as to agitate the at least two fluids, causing a visual animation effect. The construct, in particular jewelry, may have incorporated therein one or more channels and/or reservoirs containing one or more fluids wherein the fluids as well as the forms and surface treatments of channels/reservoirs are selected possess physical properties so as to promote a defined interaction with the one or more fluids.
