Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to magnetic liquid particles, and methods for using the magnetic liquid particles. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to magnetic liquid particles having antimicrobial properties. The particles can comprise a liquid metal core comprising a liquid gallium or alloy thereof, and a plurality of magnetic iron particles; and an inorganic passivation layer encapsulating the liquid metal core. The particles can be used for disrupting a biofilm. The particles can also be used for the treatment of biofilm related diseases.

Abstract: The present disclosure is based on detecting CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) expression on T effector cells to diagnostically or prophylactically predict subjects, in particular those with a gynaecological cancer who will respond to treatment with low dose cyclophosphamide.

Abstract: A method for evaluating Dry Eye Disease (“DED”) in a human or animal subject is provided. Thread thinning dynamics of a tear sample of the subject are determined using an acoustically-driven microfluidic extensional rheometry instrument. At least one physical parameter value of the tear sample is calculated based at least in part on the determined thread thinning dynamics. DED is evaluated based at least in part on the at least one calculated physical parameter value of the tear sample. A device for evaluating Dry Eye Disease (DED) in a human or animal subject is also provided. The device includes an acoustically-driven microfluidic extensional rheometry instrument and a processing device configured to evaluate DED based at least in part on the calculated at least one physical parameter value of the tear sample.

Abstract: A system is provided for assessing heard injury criterion (HIC) by analyzing signals received from sensors of a sensor array to calculate an impact force on an impact area, determine the linear acceleration based on the impact force and mass of the wearer's head. HIC values are calculated within a variable duration sliding window across a time period within which an impact occurs based on the integral of linear acceleration for the time period of the window, to determine a maximal HIC which is converted to a biofeedback signal.

Abstract: A photonic processing module (100) comprises a high index-contrast waveguide device comprising a substrate (102), a first layer (104) disposed on the substrate having a first refractive index, and a relatively thin second layer (106) disposed on the first layer. The second layer has a second refractive index providing a high index-contrast with the first layer, and the device includes at least one thin-ridge waveguide element (108) formed in the second layer which supports a guided mode in a longitudinal direction. An optical input port (110) is configured to direct an input beam into a slab mode of the second layer, the beam being directed to propagate at a predetermined angle θ to the longitudinal direction of the thin-ridge waveguide element. The angle θ is associated with a resonant coupling between the slab mode of the second layer and the guided mode of the thin-ridge waveguide element. An output beam is thus generated when the input beam includes one or more optical components corresponding with the resonant coupling. An optical output port (112) is configured to receive the output beam.
