    摘要: The present invention is directed to pumps, device, and methods for handling liquids on a microscale. Specifically, a microfluidic pump is described in which liquid in a fluid microchannel may be moved in either direction due to the diffusion of a gas through a diffusion membrane in response to a pressure differential applied through a control microchannel. This pump can provide non-contact, and optionally, bi-directional movement of liquid in microfluidics platforms, as well as bubble-free filling of dead-end microchannels and reservoirs.

    摘要: Methods, devices, apparatus, assemblies, and kits for performing a vascular anastomosis are disclosed. A device for a vascular anastomosis includes tissue engaging portions that can move between at least two configurations. In some embodiments, the tissue engaging portions move without the aid of moving parts, while in other embodiments the tissue engaging portions extend from one or more movable wings. The tissue engaging portions may be separated by a first distance when in a pre-deployment configuration and by a second distance when in a deployed configuration. A method includes engaging a plurality of tissue engaging members of a coupling device against first end tissue. After selectively engaging the tissue engaging members and first end tissue, the first end tissue is stretched by at least moving the tissue engaging members. The stretched first end tissue is coupled to the second end tissue by mating the coupling device to a mating anastomosis device.

    摘要: The present invention provides devices, systems, and methods for delivery of an active agent into the eye of a subject. In one aspect, for example, an ocular active agent delivery device (10) can include an active agent reservoir (14) disposed in an annular housing (12), the annular housing (12) being configured to fit inside of a lens capsule and at least partially encircling a line of sight of an intraocular lens within the lens capsule. The device (10) can further include a semipermeable membrane (16) operatively coupled to the active agent reservoir (14), where the semipermeable membrane (16) is configured to allow diffusion of an active agent from the active agent reservoir (14). Additionally, a valve (18) can be operatively coupled to the active agent reservoir (14), where the valve (18) is configured to allow filling of the active agent reservoir (14) with an active agent.

    摘要: A magnetic field generation system includes first (28a) and second (28b) magnetic flux concentrators spaced apart to form a sample volume (30). A first set of auxiliary permanent magnets (10a, 10b) can be symmetrically oriented about and in contact with a portion of the first magnetic flux concentrator (28a). Similarly, a second set of auxiliary permanent magnets (10c, 10d) can be symmetrically oriented about and in contact with a portion of the second magnetic flux concentrator (28b). The first(10a, 10b) and second (10c, 10d) sets of auxiliary magnets can be magnetically associated via the first (28a) and second (28b) magnetic flux concentrators. Magnetically soft shunts (38) can be movably oriented to allow variation of the magnetic field strength across the sample volume by disrupting the field flux across the magnetic flux concentrators.
