    摘要: Alignment of an ejector module in a printhead is achieved along a lateral direction by arranging first and second partially overlapping pluralities of nozzles, determining an alignment pair between first and second nozzles within their respective pluralities, and assigning the alignment pair as boundaries for print actuation. The first and second ejector modules are disposed in a printhead array along a lateral direction and include first and second nozzles eject fluid on command. The first nozzles are disposed with a first spacing therebetween in the first ejector module. The second nozzles at one end of the second ejector module that overlap the first nozzles are disposed with a second spacing that differs from the first spacing. An alignment pair between first and second nozzles of their respective pluralities is determined to minimize an alignment spacing between each other as compared to remaining nozzles. The first and second alignment nozzles are assigned as first and second boundaries for print actuation.

    摘要: A method for making a plurality of low-cost microelectrode arrays (MEAs) on one substrate utilizing certain unmodified printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication processes and selected materials. In some embodiments, a MEA device is composed of a thin polymer substrate containing patterned conductive traces. Coverlays on both sides of the substrate insulate the conductive traces and defines the electrodes. Preferably, flexible PCB technology is utilized to simultaneously define the microelectrode arrays. In an embodiment, the sensor is an integrated temperature sensor/heater in which the MEA device operates to record extracellular electrical signals from electrically active cell cultures. The present invention enables economical and efficient mass production of MEA devices, making them particularly suitable for disposable applications such as drug discovery, biosensors, etc.

    摘要: Techniques for enhanced microfluidic impedance spectroscopy include causing a core fluid to flow into a channel between two sheath flows of one or more sheath fluids different from the core fluid. Flow in the channel is laminar. A dielectric constant of a fluid constituting either sheath flow is much less than a dielectric constant of the core fluid. Electrical impedance is measured in the channel between at least a first pair of electrodes. In some embodiments, enhanced optical measurements include causing a core fluid to flow into a channel between two sheath flows of one or more sheath fluids different from the core fluid. An optical index of refraction of a fluid constituting either sheath flow is much less than an optical index of refraction of the core fluid. An optical property is measured in the channel.
