20150367013 | METHOD OF DELIVERING A DOSE OF A FLUID COMPOSITION FROM A MICROFLUIDIC DELIVERY CARTRIDGE - Microfluidic delivery systems and methods for dispensing a fluid composition into the air comprising microfluidic die and at least one heating element that is configured to receive an electrical signal comprising a certain on-time and wave form to deliver a fluid composition into the air. | 12-24-2015 |
20150367014 | METHOD OF DELIVERING A DOSE OF A FLUID COMPOSITION FROM A MICROFLUIDIC DELIVERY CARTRIDGE - Microfluidic delivery systems and methods for dispensing a fluid composition into the air comprising microfluidic die and at least one heating element that is configured to receive an electrical signal comprising a certain on-time and wave form to deliver a fluid composition into the air. | 12-24-2015 |
20150367016 | MICROFLUIDIC DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR RELEASING FLUID COMPOSITIONS - A microfluidic fluid delivery device and method. The device includes a reservoir and a transport member. The device includes a microfluidic delivery member including a microfluidic die configured to release a fluid composition from the device. The microfluidic delivery member includes an adapter configured to receive an end portion of the transport member, wherein a capillary passage is formed between the adapter and the transport member. The capillary passage has a largest effective pore size that is smaller than the average effective pore size of the transport member. | 12-24-2015 |
20150367356 | MICROFLUIDIC DELIVERY SYSTEM - Microfluidic delivery systems for dispensing a fluid composition into the air comprising microfluidic die and at least one heating element that is configured to receive an electrical signal comprising a certain on-time and wave form to deliver a fluid composition into the air. | 12-24-2015 |
20150367364 | MICROFLUIDIC DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD - One or more embodiments are directed to a microfluidic delivery system that dispenses a fluid in a direction that, at least in part, opposes gravity. In one embodiment, the microfluidic delivery system includes a microfluidic refill cartridge that is configured to be placed in a housing. The microfluidic refill cartridge includes at least one nozzle that faces upward or off to a side. The microfluidic refill cartridge includes a fluid transport member that allows fluid to travel upward from a fluid reservoir in opposition to gravity. A fluid path is located above the fluid transport member placing an end of the fluid transport member in fluid communication with a chamber and a nozzle. In response to the microfluidic delivery system receiving an electrical signal, an ejection element is configured to cause fluid in the chamber to be expelled through the nozzle. In response to the fluid being expelled from the nozzle, fluid may be pulled up through the fluid transport member and through the fluid path to refill the chamber. | 12-24-2015 |
20150367370 | MICROFLUIDIC DELIVERY MEMBER WITH FILTER AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME - Embodiments are directed to microfluidic refill cartridges and methods of assembling same. The microfluidic refill cartridges include a microfluidic delivery member that includes a filter for filtering fluid passed therethrough. The filter may be configured to block particles above a threshold size to prevent blockage in the nozzles. For instances, particles having a dimension that is larger than the diameter of the nozzles can block or reduce fluid flow through the nozzle. | 12-24-2015 |
20150368001 | MICROFLUIDIC DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR RELEASING FLUID COMPOSITIONS - A microfluidic refill includes a reservoir having a hollow body and an opening; a transport member in fluid communication with the reservoir; and a lid enclosing the opening of the reservoir. The lid is in fluid communication with the transport member. The lid comprises a rigid microfluidic delivery member. The rigid microfluidic delivery member includes a die and electrical traces that are in electrical communication with the die, wherein the electrical traces terminate at electrical contacts, wherein the electrical traces are disposed on only one plane. The die has a fluid chamber in fluid communication with the transport member at an inlet of the fluid chamber and with an orifice at an outlet of the fluid chamber and. | 12-24-2015 |
20150373840 | MICROFLUIDIC DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH A DIE ON A RIGID SUBSTRATE - The present disclosure is directed to a system that is configured to eject fluid vertically away from a thermal microfluidic die for use with scented oils or other fluids. The die is coupled to a rigid planar support board that separates the die from a reservoir of the fluid. The support board includes an opening that is lined with an inert liner that protects an interior surface of the support board from the fluid. The support board includes contact to an external power supply and contacts to the die on a first surface. The die is coupled to this first surface such that the second surface remains free of electrical connections. | 12-24-2015 |
