摘要:
A microfluidic device comprises: a channel extending from a plurality of inlets to a plurality of outlets, wherein the channel is bounded by a first wall and a second wall opposite from the first wall; and an array of obstacles disposed within the channel configured to deflect particles in a sample comprising the particles toward the second wall when the particles are flowed from the inlets to the outlets. The particles are inputted into at least one of the plurality of inlets and are deflected through a series of parallel flow streams flowing from the plurality of inlets to the plurality of outlets while being deflected toward the second wall, wherein streams in the parallel flows comprise a reagent. Microfluidic devices and methods greatly improve cell quality, streamline workflows, and lower costs. Applications include research and clinical diagnostics in cancer, infectious disease, and inflammatory disease, among other disease areas.

摘要:
The methods of this invention involve modification of an organic film after it has been deposited by either adding new dopants into it from top or bottom surface, or by causing dopants to leave the film from its top or bottom surface. In the examples of these methods, the emitting color of light emitting diodes are modifed based on doped polymers by locally introducing dopants causing different color emission into the film by local application of a solution containing desired dopant to the film surface (by ink-jet priniting, screen printing, local droplet application, etc.). This covers the difficulties of encountered with direct patterning of three separately formed organic layers (each which uniformely coats an entire surface when formed) into regions for separate R, G, and B devices due to sensitivities of the organic materials to chemicals typically used with conventional patterning technologies. Alternatively, dopants may be introduced in an organic film (16) by diffusion from one layer (18, 19) into the film (16). Alternatively, dopants may be selectively removed form a film with solvents, etc.
摘要:
A method of fabricating semiconductor devices using ink-jet printing is provided to directly deposit patterned polymer films (136) to create OLED's and other semiconductor devices. The luminescence of poly-vinylcarbazol (PVK) films, with dyes of coumarin 6 (C6), coumarin 47 (C47), and nile red was similar to that of films of the same composition deposited by spin-coating. Light emitting diodes with low turn-on voltages were also fabricated in PVK doped with C6 deposited by ink-jet printing.
