Microfluidics holds great promise to revolutionize various areas of biological engineering, such as single cell analysis, environmental monitoring, regenerative medicine, and point-of-care diagnostics. Despite the fact that intensive efforts have been de
Second, it provides a consistent, uniform circular edge around the base of the membrane. This is necessary to precisely place the membrane in the valve seat while maintaining the proper pre-stressed interference dimensions.The upper mold portion 142 is then dropped into the lower mold portion 144...
Peranema trichophorum has two main rods and two folded accessory rods) or have a branched rod that gives the appearance of three main rods (e.g., Entosiphon). Nonetheless, there are several differences between these rods and those described here for B. bacati. Firstly, B. bacati only has...
A small microendolith boring into Lithocodium crusts capable of cryptobiotically stretching within its filamentous network is tentatively assigned to the siphonal chlorophyte Ostreobium Bornet and Flahault. Another associated microfilamentous boring chlorophyte with characteristic long thin hairs (setae) is...
the channel (valve opens). The siphon valve provides valving at higher spin speeds while the capillary operates at lower spin speeds. There are two drawbacks related to the passive valves discussed above. Firstly, they are not vapor-tight, which could potentially cause cross-contamination among ...
And we may have asked the chef about the ratio to use in the ISI siphon to achieve this consistency and are now able to recreate this component at home. ;-) The next day we went to the zoo. This was an absolute "Must-Do" as my girlfriend loves Giant Pandas. In fact she adopted...
The fully open inlet construction excels whenever a thermally induced siphon flow is desired. The subplenum type constricted inlet excels whenever extremely long arrays are desired. Ideally the inlet configuration should match the application and not be dictated by the manufacturing technique. [0009...
The increase in size and shape of these volcanoes is favored by repeated magmatic extrusions along the summit that would work as a siphon conduit, as observed in other seamounts affected by hydrothermal circulation through ridge flanks [67]. In this way, M02 and M03 may represent faster or ...
(Coleoptera: Elateridae), the most diverse group in the superfamily Elateroidea, their fossil record has remained largely unstudied. This may be caused by the combination of their rather uniform external morphology and the suboptimal state of preservation and visibility in most fossil specimens. Here...
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,285,720 a new approach to feeding glass is described using a siphon bushing from a hot glass melt. A much more uniform fiber pack in a strand was observed with this process because of the more uniform temperatures in the tip plate. When this was attempted with a...
