Abstract
An actuator housing unit for a system of layered surfaces, comprising an activated primary surface having a physical shape capable of change when activated by an electrical, chemical, or light stimulus, to expand and exert force or pressure or contract and remove force or pressure, upon activation or deactivation, to move or keep matter within the housing by direct or indirect contact.

An actuator housing unit for a system of layered surfaces, comprising an activated primary surface defining a chamber having a physical shape capable of change when activated by an electrical, chemical, or light stimulus, to expand or deform to the point of closing or blocking the chamber and exert force or pressure or contract and remove force or pressure, upon activation or deactivation, to move or keep matter within the housing by direct or indirect contact, wherein one activated surface is adjacent to another activated surface, where one activated surface is activated by a change initiated by the adjacent activated surface, and where the stimulus is an electrical, chemical, or light product of the adjacent activated surface.
An actuator housing unit for a system of layered surfaces, comprising an activated primary surface defining a chamber having a physical shape capable of change when activated by an electrical, chemical, or light stimulus, to expand or deform to the point of closing or blocking the chamber and exert force or pressure or contract and remove force or pressure, upon activation or deactivation, to move or keep matter within the housing by direct or indirect contact, wherein the actuator housing unit is formed of a material that is semi-permeable to electrolytes.
An actuator housing unit for a system of layered surfaces, comprising an activated primary surface defining a chamber having a physical shape capable of change when activated by an electrical, chemical, or light stimulus, to expand or deform to the point of closing or blocking the chamber and exert force or pressure or contract and remove force or pressure, upon activation or deactivation, to move or keep matter within the housing by direct or indirect contact, wherein the actuator housing unit is formed of a material selected from the group consisting of a chemically activated polymer, a magnetically active polymer, a thermally active polymer, a shape memory alloy, and a ceramic pieozoelectric material.
An actuator housing unit for a system of layered surfaces, comprising an activated primary surface defining a chamber having a physical shape capable of change when activated by an electrical, chemical, or light stimulus, to expand or deform to the point of closing or blocking the chamber and exert force or pressure or contract and remove force or pressure, upon activation or deactivation, to move or keep matter within the housing by direct or indirect contact, wherein the actuator housing unit is formed of a material selected from the group consisting of a photo responsive polymer that is controlled by exposure to radiation of a specific wavelength, natural light, an LED or quantum light source, a photo responsive polymer that is ionized in the presence of light, a photo responsive polymer that changes pH in the presence of light, a polymer of anthracene, an ionic polymer metal composite, a polymer gel activated by contact with an electrolytic solution, wherein individual polymer gels are each encased with a semi-permeable material, and the actuator housing comprises a reservoir for housing electrolytic solution and a frit located between the reservoir and the actuator housing and the activator by means of an electrical circuit whereby electrolytic solution is caused to flow through the frit and semi-permeable material from the reservoir into contact with the polymer and away from the polymer to cause reversible dimension change of the actuator housing, and a material whose physical and chemical properties provide for the measurement of biological, physiological, environmental, temperature, pressure and/or chemical properties of matter with the actuator housing unit.
An actuator housing unit for a system of layered surfaces, comprising an activated primary surface defining a chamber having a physical shape capable of change when activated by an electrical, chemical, or light stimulus, to expand or deform to the point of closing or blocking the chamber and exert force or pressure or contract and remove force or pressure, upon activation or deactivation, to move or keep matter within the housing by direct or indirect contact, wherein the actuator housing unit further contains a heating source device.
An actuator housing unit for a system of layered surfaces, comprising an activated primary surface defining a chamber having a physical shape capable of change when activated by an electrical, chemical, or light stimulus, to expand or deform to the point of closing or blocking the chamber and exert force or pressure or contract and remove force or pressure, upon activation or deactivation, to move or keep matter within the housing by direct or indirect contact, wherein the actuator housing unit comprises a biological Cell proliferation device, comprises a bioreactor, or a chemistry mixer.
