This Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase II project will employ a new phenomena, high pressure electrokinetic (HPEK) pumping, for the development of high specific force precision actuators. This research effort will demonstrate the utility of this new phenomena in both microscopic as well as acroscopic regimes, by combining HPEK pumps with slave devices such as micro-machined bellows and cm-scale diaphragms, to effectively translate the high pressure hydraulic flow into usable work. Specific applications are targeted for the development of HPEK prototype devices. As part of this effort, the key actuator components employed in such devices will be systematically tested in order to assess optimurn designs, with subsequent integration into complete kinematic manipulation systems. These electrokinetic-based liquid pumps open the door to an entirely new class of devices for numerous high specific force applications. Applications include micropositioning systems, robotics components, supercritical chemical separations systems, and drug delivery systems.

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）II期项目将采用一种新现象，高压电动器（HPEK）泵送，以开发高特异性的精确执行器。 这项研究的工作将通过将HPEK泵与从微型波纹管和CM尺度的隔膜相结合，以有效地将高压水力流动转化为可用的工作，从而证明了这种新现象在显微镜和雅牙镜方案中的实用性。 特定应用是针对HPEK原型设备开发的。作为这项工作的一部分，将系统测试在此类设备中使用的关键执行器组件，以评估最佳设计，随后集成到完整的运动学操纵系统中。 这些基于电动的液体泵为全新的设备打开了大量高特定力应用的门。应用包括微置置系统，机器人组件，超临界化学分离系统和药物输送系统。
