20140367312 | APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR SORTING A PARTICULATE MATERIAL - The present disclosure provides an apparatus for sorting a particulate material. The apparatus comprises a receiving portion for receiving the particulate material having a particle size within a predetermined range of sizes. The apparatus also comprises a distributor for receiving the particulate material at an upper end thereof and having a sloped distribution surface along which, in use, the particulate material passes substantially by gravity. A surface area of the sloped distribution surface increases towards a lower end of the distributor to facilitate a monolayer feed stream of the particles exiting and falling from a lower end of the distributor distributed as a curtain-like stream of particles. The apparatus further comprises a magnetic element for generating a magnetic force that is directed such that the particles of the falling feed stream that exit the lower end of the distributor have pathways that depend on magnetic properties of the particles. The apparatus also comprises sorting portions for sorting the particles based on the pathways of the particles. | 12-18-2014 |

20090139908 | Guided transport of magnetically labeled biological molecules and cells - Presented herein is a method and devices for identifying biological molecules and cells labeled by small magnetic particles and by optically active dyes. The labeled molecules are typically presented in a biological fluid but are then magnetically guided into narrow channels by a sequential process of magnetically trapping and releasing the magnetic labels that is implemented by sequential synchronized reversing the magnetic fields of a regular array of patterned magnetic devices that exert forces on the magnetic particles. These devices, which may be bonded to a substrate, can be formed as parallel magnetic strips adjacent to current carrying lines or can be substantially of identical structure to trilayered MTJ cells. Once the magnetically labeled molecules have been guided into the appropriate channels, their optical labels can be detected by a process of optical excitation and de-excitation. The molecules are thereby identified and counted. | 06-04-2009 |

20100051517 | ACTUATION AND PUMPING WITH FIELD-RESPONSIVE FLUIDS - Actuators, pumps, clutches, brakes and other assemblies may utilize field-responsive fluids that include a plurality of particles suspended in a base fluid. A positive displacement pump is provided by causing particles to align into chains and walls which inhibit traversal by fluid within a fluid enclosure. The field which aligns the particles is moved, thereby causing the walls of aligned particles to move. Because traversal of the walls by the fluid is inhibited, fluid is displaced by movement of the walls of aligned particles. A reciprocating positive displacement pump can be provided by ceasing particle alignment and returning the particles to a starting position. Objects may also be moved in response to collision with chains or walls of aligned particles that move in response to field movement. Fluid circulation features are provided for preventing agglomeration of particles when translating torque between plates in relative rotational movement. | 03-04-2010 |
