Development of PZT Actuated Valveless Micropump [PDF]
A piezoelectrically actuated valveless micropump has been designed and developed. The principle components of this system are piezoelectrically actuated (PZT) metal diaphragms and a complete fluid flow system. The design of this pump mainly focuses on a cross junction, which is generated by a nozzle jet attached to a pump chamber and the intersection ...

Computational study of a novel valveless design of a macroscale piston pump
This paper deals with a novel valveless piston pump, which is using modified Venturi diodes as a replacement for common check valves. The pump characteristic was obtained from CFD simulations in ANSYS Fluent software.

Characterization of Electromagnetic Valveless Micropump [PDF]
This paper presents an electromagnetically-actuated micropump for microfluidic application. The system comprises two modules; an electromagnetic actuator module and a diffuser module. Fabrication of the diffuser module can be achieved using photolithography process with a master template and a PDMS prepolymer as the structural material.

A unifying device–cardiovascular interface framework is presented to classify implantable cardiovascular technologies as intracardiovascular blood‐contacting systems or extracardiovascular tissue‐only and blood‐handling architectures. Cross‐class comparison across shared semiquantitative criteria, including blood‐contact burden, biomimicry ...

Presence of Emissary Veins in the Glabellar Region in Metopic Craniosynostosis
ABSTRACT Emissary veins connect intra‐ and extracranial venous circulation by bridging the dural venous sinuses to the external veins of the skull. Their variable presence and location may have important implications in perioperative blood loss. Clinical observations and previous studies suggest that emissary veins are more frequently present in the ...

Behavior of a viscoelastic valveless pump: a simple theory with experimental validation
Background A valveless pump generates a unidirectional net flow of fluid around a closed loop of soft viscoelastic tubing that is rhythmically compressed at one point. The tubing must have at least two sections with two different stiffnesses.

The characteristics of perivascular proinflammation in 4‐repeat tauopathies
The spatial distribution of perivascular proinflammation differs between PSP and CBD: PSP shows a predominance in basal ganglia (BG), whereas CBD demonstrates more widespread involvement of both BG and superior/middle frontal gyrus (S/M‐FG). PSP exhibits profound proinflammatory activation around venules while CBD affects a comparable magnitude around ...
