An Electrically Addressable, Liquid Release Well Array for a Hand-held Scented Material Dispense System
Stanford researchers have developed an electrically addressable liquid dispenser. This patented technology stores and dispenses scent in hand-held devices. Designed with a standard interface, the microelectronic module is compatible with mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and music players (MP3).
Applications
- Hand-held electronic devices
Advantages
- MEMS technology
- Low power
- Electronic actuation
- Low cost
- High variability
- Design flexibility
- High yield
