  • Publication number: 20090267448
    Abstract: A device for mixing fluids includes a substrate, a first and a second surface acoustic wave-generating members, and fluid-receiving members. The first and second surface acoustic wave-generating members are positioned on the substrate at opposite ends. The fluid-receiving members are positioned on the substrate and between the first and second surface acoustic wave-generating members. Each fluid-receiving member includes a fixed end and a free end opposite to the fixed end. The fixed end is positioned on the substrate. A groove is defined in the free end and configured to receive the fluids.

  • Publication number: 20090262440
    Abstract: A lens actuator includes a lens barrel for accommodating the lens, a coil wrapped around the lens barrel, a plurality of magnets, a bracket, and a resilient plate. The bracket is configured for mounting the magnets thereon and accommodating the lens barrel therein. The resilient plate is connected between the bracket and the lens barrel to hold the lens barrel on the bracket. The bracket includes two ring shaped members parallel to each other, a plurality of supporting rods, and a plurality of magnet mounting holes. The supporting rods are interconnected between the two ring-shaped members. Each two neighboring supporting rods have one of the magnets mounted therebetween.
