PASSIVELY ADDRESSABLE ROW AND COLUMN ARRAY OF BISTABLE VALVE, PAPER HANDLING SYSTEM, AND NORMALLY CLOSED BISTABLE VALVE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the row and column bistable array which is controlled with reliable passive matrix addresses. SOLUTION: The array includes cantilever bistable valves 10, which each have an opening 29 determined and have electrically conductive switching elements 17 and 18 in a housing 12; and the switching electrodes are arranged adjacently to or opposite the opening. Electrically conductive bistable cantilever beams 13 for blocking the determined opening are mounted in the housing and mounted on the respective valves. The bistable cantilever beams can be switched between a stable opening blocking position 15 and a stable opening open position 13.
