  • Diaphragm check valves and methods of manufacture thereof
    Patent number: 10240689
    Abstract: Microscale valves for use in, e.g., micropump devices, may be formed of a slitted diaphragm bonded o the interior of a valve tube. A bump in the diaphragm and/or a backward-leakage stopper may increase the breakdown pressure of the valve. A push-rod may be used to pre-load the valve membrane to thereby increase the cracking pressure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 7, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 26, 2019
    Assignee: MINIPUMPS, LLC
    Inventors: Yu-Chong Tai, Po-Ying Li, Fukang Jiang, Changlin Pang, Natasha Yvette Bouey, Man Ting Chou, Atoosa Lotfi
