Patent ID: 8783295

Claim:
A fluidic device, comprising: a single base member defining first and second surfaces; a first inlet in the base member the first inlet adapted to receive a first fluid; a second inlet in the base member, the second inlet adapted to receive a second fluid; a first outlet in the base member, the first outlet adapted to discharge a third fluid; a first fluidic device disposed on the first surface, the first fluidic device being downstream of the first inlet; a second fluidic device disposed on the second surface, the second fluidic device being downstream from the first fluidic device and also downstream from the second inlet; a check valve disposed within the single base member, beneath the first fluidic device; a valve-member housing space defined within the single base member, the valve-member housing space containing the check valve and being in line with the first fluidic device; a first space defined within the single base member, beneath the valve-member housing space and in line with the valve-member housing space, in fluidic communication with the valve member housing space such that the first fluid flows downwardly from the valve-member housing space into the first space; a second space defined within the single base member, the second space being in line with the second fluidic device but out of line with the check valve, the second space being adapted to receive both the first fluid and the second fluid; and an inclined channel connecting the first space to the second space, the inclined channel being inclined upwardly to convey the first fluid from the first space to the second space.
