GLOSSARY
1. Fluidic module:
To create a liquid time indicator that is compact, and wearable, HYT has developed a
completely new high-tech concept, using two exible bellows at each end of a capillary
tube. The system is sealed in accordance with the most stringent standards used in
the aerospace industry, with each bellow containing immiscible liquids. The exclusive
patented uidic module represents this complete system.
2. Meniscus:
The two liquids are separated by their intrinsic repulsive properties. The meniscus marks
the surface separating the liquids in the tube, indicating the time.
3. Bellows:
The bellows are the two reservoirs located at 6 o’clock. They are made of a highly
resistant, exible alloy four times ner than a human hair. The movement compresses
the left-hand bellow which is emptied of its colored liquid. The other bellow then lls,
and vice versa, moving the liquid within the capillary, and with it the meniscus which
indicates the time.
4. Capillary:
This tube, made from the best quality glass as used in the medical industry, is circular in
shape and contains two immiscible liquids. A surface treatment is applied to the inside
of the capillary, which enables the two liquids to move smoothly without adhering to the
glass.
5. Rewind:
When the colored liquid gets to 6 o’clock (Zone II), it switches to rewind mode, owing
back to its original position (Zone I).
