Abstract:
An automatic degaussing circuit for a color picture tube (CPT) capable of automatically degaussing the CPT when a power conservation mode is released in a monitor having a power conservation function. The degaussing circuit includes a degaussing coil for eliminating electromagnetic waves produced from the CPT, a power conservation mode detecting section for detecting the release of the power conservation mode in accordance with a power conservation mode signal of the CPT inputted thereto and providing a degaussing control signal for controlling the operation of the degaussing coil if the release of the power conservation mode is detected, and a degaussing coil driving section for driving the degaussing coil for a predetermined time in accordance with the degaussing control signal when the power conservation mode is released.
Abstract:
Provided herein are microfluidic devices that can be used as a 3D bioassay, e.g., for drug screening, personalized medicine, tissue engineering, wound healing, and other applications. The device has a series of channels {e.g., small fluid channels) in a small polymer block wherein one or more of the channels can be filled with a biologically relevant gel, such as collagen, which is held in place by posts. As shown herein, when the device is plated with cells such as endothelial cells, new blood vessels grow in the gel, which is thick enough for the cells to grow in three dimensions. Other channels, e.g., fluid channels, allow drugs or biological material to be exposed to the 3D cell growth. Cells, such as endothelial cells, can be cultured and observed as they grow on the surface of a 3D gel scaffold, where e.g., rates of angiogenesis can be measured, as well as intervascularization and extravascularization of cancerous cells.
