A modular microfluidic system can be used to quickly set up an individually adaptable microfluidic network by linking and delinking different functional building blocks. We present a convenient and reliable connection technology, which is based on magnets and casted O-ring-like structures leading to a sealed connection without the need of additional sealing materials. Based on an improved, previously presented fabrication technology, modular microfluidic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) blocks using a polyurethane (PU) mold, 3D printed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) channel structures and a magnetic connection system in combination with a casted O-ring link, featuring various integration technologies have now been designed and experimentally evaluated. In particular, this paper will address the realization of directional valves, reciprocating pumps, finger pumps, directly-cast check- and Tesla-valves, fluidic flow sensors, fluidic mixers, commercial valves, and various sensors. By using different measurement setups, the feasibility of these devices is demonstrated. Moreover, limitations and issues encountered during fabrication as well as future work are discussed.

ilustraciones, graficas, tablas En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un completo estudio sobre la evolución rotacional de las estrellas de baja masa en su etapa evolutiva previa a la secuencia principal. Para el estudio se realiza una extensión del modelo rotacional de Matt [Matt et al., 2012], el cual predice la velocidad ecuatorial de rotación para una estrella del tipo solar durante los primeros tres millones de años, época en la cual la estrella experimenta torques de acreción y de viento estelar estimulado por la acreción. El modelo incorpora cambios en el momento de inercia de la estrella, en la intensidad del campo magnético, pérdida de momento angular por vientos estelares estimulados por acreción y una disminución exponencial de la tasa de acreción. Se asume que la acreción estelar decae exponencialmente con el tiempo y que el disco es permeado por un campo magnético estelar dipolar y con intensidad constante. La extensión del modelo, se realiza hasta la edad del Sol, incluyendo efectos de pérdida de momento angular a través de vientos magnetizados de tipo Kawaler [Kawaler, 1988] una vez la estrella se ubica en la secuencia principal. La calibración de la evolución rotacional se realiza en términos de la rotación solar hoy y a través del análisis de una muestra representativa de estrellas jóvenes con velocidad rotacional reportada en la literatura. Esta muestra consiste en 231 estrellas pertenecientes a 8 asociaciones estelares con edades entre 8Myr y 600Myr. Para altos rotadores (V > 150km/s) se encuentra que la constante Kw que de fine la intensidad del torque de viento magnetizado es igual a 6,018X10^47 gr^{3/2} cm^{1/2} s^{-1} mientras que para bajos rotadores (V < 10km=s) la constante Kw es igual a 5.988X10^47 gr^{3/2} cm^{1/2} s^{-1}. Finalmente, se concluye que la escala de tiempo característica para el decaimiento exponencial de la acreción que mejor ajusta la muestra observada es t_a = 8Myr para un tiempo de vida de disco t_D = 4Myr para un campo magnético de 2kG y un tiempo de vida de disco t_D = 2Myr para un campo magnético de 0.5kG. (Texto tomado de la fuente) This paper presents the results of a complete study on the rotational evolution of low-mass stars in their evolutionary stage prior to the main sequence in the color-magnitude diagram. For the study, an extension of the rotational model of Matt [Matt et al., 2012] is carried out, which predicts the equatorial speed of rotation for a star of the solar type during the rest three million years, when the star experiences accretion torques and stellar wind stimulated by accretion. The model incorporates changes in the star's moment of inertia, in the intensity of the magnetic eld, loss of angular momentum by accretion-stimulated stellar winds, and an exponential decrease in the accretion rate. It is assumed that stellar accretion decays exponentially with time and that the disk is permeated by a constant intensity dipole stellar magnetic eld. The extension of the model is carried out until the age of the Sun, including the e ects of loss of angular momentum through magnetized winds of the Kawaler type [Kawaler, 1988] once the star is located in the main sequence. The calibration of the rotational evolution is carried out in terms of the solar rotation today and through the analysis of a representative sample of young stars with rotational speed reported in the literature. This sample consists of 231 stars belonging to 8 stellar associations with ages between 8Myr and 600Myr. For high rotators (V > 150km=s) it is found that the constant Kw that de nes the intensity of the magnetized wind torque is equal to 6.018X10^47 gr^{3/2} cm^{1/2} s^{-1} while for low rotators (V < 10km=s) the constant Kw is equal to 5.988X10^47 gr^{3/2} cm^{1/2} s^{-1}. Finally, it's concluded that the character 'i stic time scale for the exponential decay of the accretion o n that best ts the observed sample is ta = 8Myr for a disk lifetime tD = 4Myr for a magnetic eld of 2kG and a disk lifetime of tD = 2Myr for a magnetic eld of 0.5kG.

Abstract: We show that a spacecraft launched from Earth towards Mars following a Hohmann minimum energy transfer trajectory has a strong tendency to remain well-connected magnetically to Earth, in the early phase of the transfer, or to Mars in the late phase, via the Parker spiral magnetic field. On the return trip, the spacecraft would remain reasonably well-connected magnetically first to Mars and later to Earth. Moreover, good magnetic connectivity occurs on all Hohmann transfers between neighboring planets in the inner solar system out to Mars. We call this hitherto unnamed circumstance the Hohmann–Parker effect. We show consequences of the effect by means of simultaneous cosmic radiation proxy observations made near Earth, near Mars, and at the Mars Science Laboratory on the transfer from Earth to Mars in 2011/2012. We support the observations with simulations of the large-scale magnetic field of the inner heliosphere during this period and compare the results with our predictions. The implications of the Hohmann–Parker effect are discussed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Finding damage inside pipes is important for the inspection of complex pipes used in nuclear power plants and chemical plants. A number of studies have investigated the mechanisms of an actuator with an electric cable to provide locomotion through various devices in complex pipes. An in-pipe robot capable of movement in narrow complex pipes has not yet been developed. In the present paper, we propose a globular magnetic actuator group that exhibits a very high thrust force and is capable of free reversible motion in complex pipes. Two actuators of the same size and characteristics are coupled by the magnetic connection method, which generates almost no mechanical loss. The globular magnetic actuator group capable of reversible motion through elongation and contraction of eight shape-memory-alloy (SMA) coils was fabricated. Experimental results indicate that the prototype actuator group is able to climb at a rate of 29 mm/s in a straight pipe while pulling a load mass of 48 g. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
