  • Method of forming an aggregate of objects
    Patent number: 9869618
    Abstract: A method of forming an aggregate of objects in a channel including a liquid, the method including: a) providing objects in at least a region of the channel, and b) forming an aggregate of the objects by submitting them to a modulated pulsed acoustic field, wherein the modulated pulsed acoustic field applied at step b) is modulated in amplitude.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 27, 2012
    Date of Patent: January 16, 2018
    Assignees: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE, ECOLE SUPERIEURE DE PHYSIQUE ET DE CHIMIE INDUSTRIELLES DE LA VILLE DE PARIS
    Inventors: Mauricio Hoyos, Luz Angelica Castro Camacho
  • Method of forming a multilayer aggregate of objects
    Patent number: 9719065
    Abstract: A method of forming a multilayer aggregate of objects in a channel including a liquid, the method including: a) providing objects at first and second superposed regions of the channel, b) obtaining first and second aggregates of objects, optionally by applying transverse acoustic waves, preferably stationary waves, within each region to objects, and c) bringing the first and second aggregates into contact to form the multilayer aggregate of objects by submitting the first and second aggregates to: gravity in absence of acoustic waves, or to acoustic waves, optionally stationary waves, inducing displacement of the first and second aggregates toward each other.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 5, 2013
    Date of Patent: August 1, 2017
    Assignee: CENTRE NATIONALE DE RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE
    Inventors: Despina Bazou, Mauricio Hoyos, Luz Angelica Castro Camacho
  • Method of manipulating objects
    Patent number: 9170186
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for manipulating objects in a liquid using a pulsed acoustic field that is modulated in amplitude. The amplitude modulated pulsed acoustic field may form the objects into a layer or layers. The objects may be colloidal objects having an average size of about 50 nm to about 5 ?m, or a mixture of colloidal and non-colloidal objects.
