20140374262 | LIQUID TRANSPORT MEMBRANE - A liquid transport membrane includes a porous layer having conductive electrodes on the opposite surfaces. The electrodes are arranged so as to induce an electric field across the membrane when a driving voltage is applied to the electrodes. The conductive electrodes each include a thin conductive layer which is coated onto the porous layer and an additional layer to improve the distribution of electricity. | 12-25-2014 |
20140367073 | LIQUID TRANSPORT MEMBRANE - A cooling device includes an electroosmotic liquid transport membrane and a passage through which a fluid to be cooled can flow. The passage has a wall which includes the electroosmotic liquid transport membrane. The membrane is arranged to transport liquid to effect evaporative cooling such that the fluid in the passage can be cooled. The fluid in the passage is a liquid and the cooling device is arranged so that in use, the liquid being transported to effect evaporative cooling is transported through the electroosmotic liquid transport membrane out of the passage. | 12-18-2014 |
20130216816 | TEXTILE - A textile includes first and second conductive layers and at least one porous layer positioned between the conductive layers. The first and second conductive layers are arranged to generate an electric field whereby a current passes between the conductive layers inducing liquid transport and causing ions to be received at the second conductive layer. A measurement device is arranged to measure the amount of charge transferred between the first and second conductive layers during a liquid transport operation, the device taking account of any variation in current or voltage during the liquid transport operation. A control device is arranged to control a regenerating operation to regenerate the second electrode by transferring via it an amount of charge substantially equal to the measured amount so as to cause ions to be removed from the second conductive layer and thereby regenerate the conductive layer. | 08-22-2013 |
20110052431 | ELECTRO-OSMOTIC PUMP - A pump for inducing liquid movement by means of polarisation electro-osmosis, comprising a passageway forming a flow path for fluid transport, at least one polarisable means located within said passageway so as to form at least one pore through said passageway, the at least one polarisable means being shaped such that at least a section of the pore walls are curved or inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the passageway, the pump further comprising a non-conductive porous membrane positioned across the flow path and in close proximity to the at least one polarisable means, the membrane comprising pores extending in a direction at least partially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the passageway and having a pore size smaller than the at least one pore formed by the polarisable means. | 03-03-2011 |
