| 发明名称 | Chemical activation of an actuator or an osmotic motor | ||
| 摘要 | An actuator that includes an enclosure having a wall impermeable to a first solute and permeable to a solvent and containing, at least temporarily, a catalyst capable of promoting the transformation of at least one second solute into the first solute to vary the osmotic pressure in the enclosure; and a deformable chamber connected to the enclosure, the chamber being capable of increasing in volume under the action of the solvent moving from the enclosure into the chamber by osmosis or the enclosure being designed to be arranged in contact with the solvent, the chamber being capable of increasing in volume under the action of the solvent penetrating into the enclosure by osmosis. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An actuator comprising: an enclosure having a wall impermeable to a first solute and permeable to a solvent; an inanimate catalyst contained in said enclosure, said catalyst capable of promoting the transformation of at least one second solute into the first solute to vary the osmotic pressure in the enclosure; and a deformable chamber connected to the enclosure, said chamber being capable of increasing in volume under the action of the solvent moving from the enclosure into the chamber by osmosis or said enclosure being designed to be arranged in contact with the solvent, said chamber being capable of increasing in volume under the action of the solvent penetrating into the enclosure by osmosis wherein said enclosure comprises a bundle of hollow fibers, and wherein the catalyst is arranged within said fibers. | ||
