ABSTRACT:
A valve which has a structure with at least one opening and a member which has a fixed static charge and also has a first position exposing the opening and a second position sealing the opening. A method for making the valve includes providing a structure with at least one opening and providing a member having a fixed static charge where the member has a first position exposing the opening and a second position sealing the opening. An agitator includes a base with at least one trench, a structure with at least one opening, and a membrane with a fixed static charge. The structure is connected to the base over the trench with the opening in the structure extending through to the trench in the base. The membrane is connected to the base across at least a portion of the trench. A pump includes a base with at least one trench, a structure with at least two openings, a membrane with a fixed static charge, a first cantilever arm having a fixed static charge, and a second cantilever arm having a fixed static charge. The structure is connected to the base over the trench with the openings in the structure extending through to the trench in the base. The membrane is connected to the base across at least a portion of the trench. The first cantilever arm has a first position exposing one of the openings and a second position sealing the one of the openings. The second cantilever arm has a first position exposing another one of the openings and a second position sealing the another one of the openings.
