German researchers at Saarland University and the Center for Mechatronics and Automation Technology (ZeMA) are working to ...

Miniaturized pumps and valves that rely on the motion of dielectric elastomeric silicone films are being created in Saarland, ...

There’s a rough vacuum section driven by one pump, a high vacuum section driven ... as well as the digital I/O to control the valves and switches on the system. The control system is built ...

However, there’s a problem with just going to the local import store and buying the first vacuum pump on the shelf. They are primarily designed for atmospheric gasses and tend to melt when ...

As you've heard many times, your car's engine is nothing but a big air pump. It sucks in air ... through a partially closed butterfly valve that creates a vacuum in the intake manifold.

Miniaturized pumps and valves that rely on the motion of dielectric elastomeric silicone films are being created in Saarland, Germany. Not only are these devices lightweight, compact and ...
