Sealable Microvalve That Can Be Repeatedly Opened and Sealed
ink;color: #0000FF;text-decoration: underline; } INV-1243 Background The typical structure for a MEMS microvalve includes an orifice and a moveable plate that can be actuated to press against the orifice. When the plate does not press against the orifice, fluid can flow through the orifice and therefore through the valve. When the plate is pressed...
