Surface micromachined electrostatically actuated micro peristaltic pump.
An electrostatically actuated micro peristaltic pump is reported. The micro pump is entirely surface micromachined using a multilayer parylene technology. Taking advantage of the multilayer technology, the micro pump design enables the pumped fluid to be isolated from the electric field. Electrostatic actuation of the parylene membrane using both DC and AC voltages was demonstrated and applied ...
متن کاملA portable blood plasma clot micro-elastometry device based on resonant acoustic spectroscopy.
Abnormal blood clot stiffness is an important indicator of coagulation disorders arising from a variety of cardiovascular diseases and drug treatments. Here, we present a portable instrument for elastometry of microliter volume blood samples based upon the principle of resonant acoustic spectroscopy, where a sample of well-defined dimensions exhibits a fundamental longitudinal resonance mode pr...
متن کاملMaking Sense of Location-based Micro-posts Using Stream Reasoning
Consider an urban environment and think to its semi-public realms (e.g., shops, bars, visitors attractions, means of transportation). Who is the maven of a district? How fast and how broad can such maven influence the opinions of others? These are just few of the questions BOTTARI (our Location-based Social Media Analysis mobile app) is getting ready to answer. In this position paper, we recap ...
متن کاملInvadopodia formation in blood clots
Blood clotting specifically supports the metastatic dissemination of malignant cells to the lung. We have recently demonstrated that 2 tumor types that are prone to form lung metastases, renal cell carcinoma and soft tissue sarcoma, share specific adhesive mechanisms that support the invasion and colonization of blood clots in the pulmonary vasculature.
متن کاملUltrasound affects distribution of plasminogen and tissue-type plasminogen activator in whole blood clots in vitro.
Ultrasound of 2 MHz frequency and 1.2 W/cm(2) acoustic intensity was applied to examine the effect of sonication on recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA)-induced thrombolysis as well as on the distribution of plasminogen and t-PA within whole blood clots in vitro. Thrombolysis was evaluated quantitatively by measuring clot weight reduction and the level of fibrin degradation pro...
