    Abstract: An actuating and sensing apparatus includes a circuit board, a housing, an actuating device and a sensor. The housing is disposed on the circuit board and includes an entrance opening, an exit opening and a compartment. The compartment is in communication with an external environment of the housing through the entrance opening and the exit opening. The actuating device is disposed within the compartment and closing the exit opening. The sensor is disposed within the compartment and corresponding to the entrance opening. When the actuating device is enabled, a gas within the compartment is guided to the external environment outside the housing, and a pressure gradient is generated in the compartment so as to introduce a gas from the external environment outside the housing into the compartment through the entrance opening to make the gas detected by the sensor.

    Abstract: A fluid transportation device includes a valve cover, a valve body, a valve membrane and a valve chamber seat. The valve cover has two openings. The valve body includes an inlet passage and an outlet passage. The valve membrane is arranged between the valve body and the valve chamber seat, having two valve plates respectively close an inlet valve channel and an outlet valve channel of the valve chamber seat. The valve chamber seat forms a pressure chamber which is sealed and covered by an actuator. The valve cover is sleeved on the valve body and tightly fitted to the inner wall of an outer sleeve to assemble the device, in which a first gasket is disposed between the valve body and the valve membrane, and a second gasket is disposed between the valve membrane and the valve chamber, by which sealing effect is improved and backflow is prevented.

    Abstract: An actuating and sensing module is disclosed and includes an actuating device, a first substrate, a second substrate, a valve membrane and a sensor stacked sequentially. The first substrate includes an intake channel, an exhaust channel, an inlet and an outlet. The valve membrane is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and includes an intake valve and an exhaust valve to insulate the intake channel and the exhaust channel, respectively. The actuating device is disposed to seal a through slot of the second substrate to form a compressing chamber. The inlet, the intake channel, the compressing chamber, the exhaust channel and the outlet are in communication with each other to define a gas flow loop. The sensor is disposed in the gas flow loop. While the actuating device drives gas from the outside, the gas is transported into the gas flow loop and sensed by the sensor.

    Abstract: An electronic cigarette includes a power supply device, a sensing unit, an atomizer, a liquid storage structure and a fluid transportation device. The atomizer includes an electric heater and a liquid conduit. The liquid conduit has an input port at one end and plural perforations at the other end, and the electric heater is disposed around the liquid conduit. The liquid storage structure includes a passageway and a liquid container. A cigarette liquid is stored in the liquid container. The fluid transportation device includes an input channel and an output channel. The input channel is in communication with the liquid container. The output channel is in communication with the liquid conduit of the atomizer. The cigarette liquid is transferred to the atomizer at a certain amount. Consequently, an atomized vapor is generated.
