This paper describes the analysis, design, and silicon-fabrication of a fluidic proportional amplifier, which is the most important element of fluidic logic circuits. First, FEM(finite element method) analyses were performed, using the Fluent computational fluid dynamics program, and design geometries were optimized. Then, a $40\;{\mu}m$-deep amplifier was fabricated in silicon using anisotropic dry etching.

Recently, the need leer transporting and manipulating minute amount of fluids in microscale channels (so-called micro-fluidics) has been increasing, especially in biotechnology and biochemical processing. This work demonstrates that the mechano-chemical process which consists of mechanical abrasive action combined with chemical process can be used to fabricate micro-fluidic channels more rapidly and cost effectively than other methods. In this work, capillary filling of fluids in micro-channels was investigated by theoretical approaches and experiments. From the experimental results, it is expected that a complex micro-fluidic system can be fabricated using the micro- fabrication technique and microsystem packaging method described in this work.

As it is difficult to construct a micro-fluidic system composed of micro-mixers, micro-channels and/or micro-chambers in a single process, an assembly process is typically used. The assembling and bonding of micro-parts, however, introduces other problems. In this work, a virtual assembly process was developed that can be used to design various micro-fluidic systems before actual fabrication commences. In the process, the information required for the micro-stereolithography process is generated automatically. Consequently, complex micro-fluidic systems can be fabricated in a single process, thereby avoiding the need for additional assembly or bonding processes. Using the developed process, several examples were fabricated.

The feasibility of using fluidic components for improving certain performance characteristics of the suspension systems for tracked vehicle is investigated. This study describes three variable damping systems for which the damping coefficients are function of relative velocity and absolute a of the vehicle body. Through the comparison analysis between constant damping coefficient damper and each of variable dampers. the followings were found: (1)Fluidic Diode Damper gave less accelerations, (2)Both Fluidic Diode Damper and Relative Velocity Damper gave the less time for which the wheel is off the ground, (3) At low vehicle velocity Fluidic Diode Damper gave low energy dissipation rate, while at high vehicle velocity Turbulence Accelerometer Damper gave low energy dissipation rate.

Recently many researches related with biotechnology are processed and it is the situation that research about micro fluidic devices is active. Micro fluidic devices has been one of the most widely used devices for the analysis in biotechnology because they have many advantages, flexibility, transparency, thermal and electrical stability, nontoxic, etc. In this study, micro fluidic device with PDMS is developed for particle counter which separates a small quantity of particles, The principle of micro particle counter is electrical-impedance method, and it was also applied hydrodynamic flow focusing. It is more efficient method to analyzing particles furthermore it can be applied to cell count ins for biotechnology.

This paper describes a new constructing method of multifunctional biosensor using many kinds of biomaterials. A metal particle and an array was fabricated by photolithographic. Biomaterials were immobilized on the metal particle. The array and the particles were mixed in a buffer solution, and were arranged by magnetic force interaction and random fluidic self-assembly. A quarter of total Ni dots were covered by the particles. The binding direction of the particles was controllable, and condition of particles was almost with Au surface on top. The particles were successfully arranged on the array. The biomaterial activities were detected by chemiluminescence and electrochemical methods.

A performance analysis program of a disk type fluidic valve was developed to predict a chamber pressure and a response time. A parametric study of this device was performed by using scattering plot method. A sensitivity of Mach number at a nozzle outlet showed the highest value about a outlet diameter of nozzle. An inlet flow rate is the most important parameter to design the fluidic valve because it has high sensitivity value both a outlet velocity and a response time.

Vortex type Fluidic Device(FD) which is installed at the bottom of Safety Injection Tank(SIT) controls the discharge flow rate from the tank. In case of loss of coolant accident the injection water flows into primary system in two steps; initial high flow rate for certain period of time and subsequent low flow rate. By two-step control of the discharge flow rate, FD can ensure the effective use of water in the tank. A small-scale FD has been tested to obtain a required flow characteristics maintaining full pressure and height of prototype, which are the major contributing parameters. Through the testing of many different arrangements of internal geometry of FD, most appropriate one was selected and its performance data was obtained. As characteristics of FD, time dependent Euler number, flow rate and pressure are presented and discussed. Also a method to predict the full size FD is presented.
