Abstract: Microfluidic devices having a construct formed from perfluoropolyether and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate. The construct includes an inlet for receiving a continuous phase fluid, an inlet for receiving a dispersed phase fluid, and a plurality of channels extending through the construct. The plurality of channels are in fluid communication with both the inlet of the continuous phase fluid and the inlet of the dispersed phase fluid. The construct further includes a plurality of microdroplet generators configured to produce microdroplets, each of the microdroplet generators in fluid communication with the plurality of channels. Additionally, the construct includes an outlet formed in the construct and in fluid connection with the plurality of microdroplet generators.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to apparatuses for microdroplet generation and methods of manufacturing such apparatuses. In accordance with one aspect, a method for manufacturing a microdroplet generator having a plurality of flow-focusing generators includes forming a cavity between a first plate and a second plate, the second plate being a soft master. The cavity defining the plurality of flow focusing generators, a first plurality of channels, and a second plurality of channels. The method further includes supplying a resin to the cavity, applying pressure to one or both of the first plate or the second plate; and curing the resin.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dishwasher having a structure improved to enhance the efficiency of washing. The dishwasher includes a main body, a washing tub provided in the main body, a door configured to close or open an open side of the washing tub, a fixed nozzle fixed on another side of the washing tub and configured to spray washing water, a vane configured to reflect the washing water sprayed via the fixed nozzle toward dishes while being moved within the washing tub, and a rail assembly configured to guide the movement of the vane. The vane is rotationally coupled to the rail assembly to change a direction of movement of the washing water sprayed via the fixed nozzle.

Abstract: A rack assembly and a dishwasher having the same, the rack assembly includes a basket in which a plurality of holes are formed; and a loading plate that is disposed to be separable from the basket and to be deformable so that loading plate and the materials to be washed placed thereon are removable from the basket. Through this configuration, loading and unloading of the materials to be washed can be easily performed.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a basket unit including an upper basket and a lower basket. The upper basket is separated from the lower basket so that cutlery in the upper basket is easily separated from the upper basket.

Abstract: A cutlery basket and a dish washing machine having the same includes one or more distribution units contained in the cutlery basket, so that a plurality of cutlery utensils can be uniformly arranged without overlapping, resulting in increased washing efficiency.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dishwasher having an improved basket pull-out structure. The dishwasher includes: a tub; a basket arranged inside the tub for loading dishes; and a draw-out unit arranged on either side of the basket for guiding the basket to be drawn out forward from the tub, wherein the draw-out unit includes first, second, and third rails, a plurality of first balls placed between the first and second rails, and a plurality of second balls placed between the second and third rails, and wherein the plurality of first balls and the plurality of second balls are arranged in vertical direction. According to the present disclosure, a slim draw-out unit may be provided by aligning ball bearings in vertical direction, thereby increasing the space utility of the dishwasher.
