Sonic valve makes fast vibrations
Article Abstract:
UK company, Camcon Technology, has developed a new family of valves that require no power to maintain their position, and can change their state in fractions of a millisecond. The valves are being developed for use in a range of gas control, automation, safety, construction, and agricultural equipment.

Micro device both pumps and controls: biotechnology, precision and medical engineering are set to benefit from a remarkable new micro fluid device
Article Abstract:
A new micro fluid power device features an innovative flexible diaphragm when pumping gas or liquid in either direction. The device is likely to have uses in chemical analysers, biotechnology, lubrication dosage and precision engineering. The diaphragm can deform in different ways under different working conditions and the device works as a micropump by applying a square wave voltage.
