  • PRECISION RELEASE VAPORIZATION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20100001104
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a precision release vapor dispenser for dispensing material from a pressurized source of material. The precision release vapor dispenser comprises dispensing means for dispensing into the environment the material from the source of material, a microtechnology and/or nanotechnology fabricated component coupled to the dispensing means for controlling the release rate of the material to be dispensed, and means for initiating the dispensing means. The microtechnology and/or nanotechnology fabricated component may be a microchip that is a multilayer device fabricated using micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication techniques.

  • Gas-assisted atomizing device and methods of making gas-assisted atomizing devices
    Patent number: 6513736
    Abstract: Gas-assisted atomizing devices are provided that include liquid orifices, which release liquid, and gas orifices, which release gas to atomize the liquid into droplets. The atomizing devices are formed by at least a first layer and a second layer. The atomizing devices can include a gas supply network and a liquid supply network that supply gas and liquid to the gas and liquid orifices.

  • Rayleigh-breakup atomizing devices and methods of making rayleigh-breakup atomizing devices
    Patent number: 6378788
    Abstract: Atomizing devices are provided that form droplets through the Rayleigh breakup mechanism. Various embodiments include one or more of the following features. Liquid orifices form jets of liquid that form droplets. Gas orifices provide gas coflow that inhibits coalescence of the droplets. The liquid orifices can have non-circular cross-sectional shapes to promote Rayleigh breakup. Fluidic oscillators can also be provided to promote Rayleigh breakup. Supply networks are provided to supply gas and liquid to the gas and liquid orifices, respectively.
