Abstract
A flow substrate mounting structure comprising a fastener aperture and an alignment feature, wherein the alignment feature comprises at least one of an alignment pin removably coupled with the flow substrate mounting structure, an alignment slot, and an alignment step. A structure for coupling a plurality of flow substrates comprising a flow substrate mounting structure comprising a first fastener aperture, and a second fastener aperture, wherein the first fastener aperture is configured to couple with a first fastener and the second fastener aperture is configured to couple with a second fastener, wherein an alignment fixture is used to align the flow substrate mounting structure with the plurality of flow substrates.
Claims32
A flow substrate mounting structure comprising:
- a fastener aperture;
- and
- an alignment feature, wherein the alignment feature comprises at least one of an alignment pin removably coupled with the flow substrate mounting structure, an alignment slot, and an alignment step.
A flow substrate comprising:
- a substrate body comprising a component attachment surface, wherein the component attachment surface comprises a plurality of conduit ports;
- and
- a flow substrate mounting structure comprising a first aperture and a second aperture, wherein the first aperture and the second aperture are each configured to receive a fastener for coupling the flow substrate mounting structure with the substrate body.
A flow substrate mounting structure comprising:
- a clamp portion configured to couple with a portion of a first surface of a first flow substrate with second surface of a second flow substrate;
- a first fastener aperture, wherein the first fastener aperture extends through the clamp portion and the standoff portion and is configured to receive a fastener;
- and
- a first locking pin aperture configured to couple with a first locking pin.
A flow substrate mounting structure comprising:
- a fastener aperture, wherein the aperture extends through the flow substrate mounting structure;
- a first locking pin aperture configured to couple with a first locking pin;
- and
- a second locking pin aperture configured to couple with the first locking pin,
- wherein the flow substrate mounting structure is configured to couple with a flow substrate with a fixed thickness,
- wherein the flow substrate mounting structure is configured to couple with the flow substrate at a flow substrate recess.
A structure for coupling a plurality of flow substrates comprising:
- a flow substrate mounting structure comprising:
- a first fastener aperture, and
- a second fastener aperture, wherein the first fastener aperture is configured to couple with a first fastener and the second fastener aperture is configured to couple with a second fastener,
- wherein an alignment fixture is used to align the flow substrate mounting structure with the plurality of flow substrates.
