Patent number: 9694177Abstract: A device for electrically controlled of ions, comprises a first electrolyte; a first electrode, which is arranged in direct or indirect contact with the first electrolyte, an encapsulation; and an ion conductor, which is arranged to receive and/or deliver ions from/to the first electrolyte. The encapsulation is arranged to effectively enclose the first electrolyte, and the ion conductor is arranged to transport ions from/to an outside of the encapsulation.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2008Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: OBOE IPR ABInventors: Magnus Berggren, Joakim Isaksson, Edwin Jager, Peter Kjall, David Nilsson, Agneta Richter-Dahlfors, Daniel T. Simon, Klas Tybrandt, Barbara Canlon

Patent number: 9128016Abstract: A method of analyzing a sample fluid containing organic microobjects is proposed. The method comprises the steps of: up-concentrating (S1) the microobjects by removing, in a total time T1, a volume V1 of the sample fluid from the upconcentrate sample microobjects; immersing (S2) the microobjects in a transfer fluid, or leaving the microobjects in a remaining portion of the sample fluid, the remaining portion of the sample fluid then providing the transfer fluid; filtering (S3), in a total time T3, a volume V3 of the transfer fluid by a filter, thereby accumulating the microobjects on the filter; and generating (S4) an image of the microobjects accumulated on the filter; wherein the throughput V1/T1 of the step of up-concentrating (S1) is greater than the throughput V1/T1, of the step of filtering (S3). The filter may be a second filter, and the step of up-concentrating (S1) may involve: filtering the sample fluid by a first filter, thereby accumulating the microobjects on the first filter.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2010Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Bas Hulsken, Stein Kuiper, Sjoerd Stallinga, Bo Joakim Isaksson, Mark W.

Patent number: 8257562Abstract: The present invention relates to a wettability switch that comprises an electrochemically active element having a wetting surface with switchable wetting properties. The electrochemically active element comprises an electrochemically active polymer, and surface active molecules each having a lyophobic portion and a lyophilic portion. In the wettability switch, each of said surface active molecules exposes one of said lyophobic portion and said lyophilic portion towards said wetting surface, and the identity of said portion depends on an electrochemical state of said polymer.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2004Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Acreo ABInventors: Joakim Isaksson, Nathaniel Robinson, Magnus Berggren

Patent number: 8137524Abstract: A device is disclosed for electrically controlled transport of ions between a source and a target electrolyte, including a source electrode and a target electrode. The electrodes are each capable of conducting ions, and the source electrode is arranged to receive ions from the source electrolyte and the target electrode is arranged to release ions to the target electrolyte. The device further includes an ion-conductive channel, arranged to receive ions from the source electrode and to release ions to the target electrode. Moreover, the ion-conductive channel is arranged to provide an ionic connection between the source and the target electrodes. The electrodes and the ion-conductive channel are formed of solid or semi-solid materials which are directly or indirectly attached to a support.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2007Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Oboe IPR ABInventors: Magnus Berggren, Peter Kjäll, David Nilsson, Nathaniel D.
