Abstract
A structured assembly of perpendicular, interwoven fluidic conduits permits connections between conduits to be readily (and in some cases visibly) established, thereby providing operational convenience and amenability to automated means of validation or verification.
Claims20
A fluid transport and distribution manifold comprising:
- a support;
- a first plurality of parallel fluid conduits passing through the support;
- and
- a second plurality of parallel fluid conduits passing through the support perpendicular to, and interwoven with, the first fluid conduits, at least some of the second fluid conduits being selectably fluidly connected to one or more of the first plurality of fluid conduits.

A method of fluid transport comprising the steps of:
- interweaving first and second pluralities of parallel fluid conduits, the first and second pluralities of fluid conduits being substantially perpendicular to each other;
- fluidly connecting each of at least some of the second fluid conduits to one or more of the first plurality of fluid conduits;
- and
- causing fluid to flow from at least some of the first fluid conduits into second fluid conduits to which they are fluidly connected.
