A high-throughput flow system includes an array of wells and a separate mechanical tip positioned within each well. Each mechanical tip is separately actuated to impart a shear stress pattern. A separate sleeve may be associated with each tip for maintaining a predetermined distance between the tip and a floor of the tip's corresponding well, with each tip being rotatable within its corresponding sleeve. Alternatively, a separate post may be associated with each tip for maintaining a predetermined distance between the tip and a floor of the tip's corresponding well, with each tip being rotatable about its corresponding post.

An implantable drug delivery apparatus for delivering a drug into a bodily fluid in a bodily cavity of a patient over a period of time includes a drug supply reservoir to supply drug into a delivery channel and an actuator for delivering the drug to a predetermined location in the bodily cavity of the patient, such as, for example, a cochlea of a human ear. The drug is loaded into the delivery channel while producing substantially negligible flow at an outlet of the delivery channel.

In various embodiments, an actuating mechanism is employed to displace a conductor disposed within a fluidic channel, thereby reconfiguring an electronic component.
摘要:
The invention generally relates to combining a plurality of flow streams. In various embodiments, a first channel transports a first laminar fluid flow, a second channel transports a second laminar fluid flow, and the first and second channels enter a merging region at an acute angle to one another along separate substantially parallel planes.

We have found that etching of a body that comprises exposed Si as well as a Ti-comprising metal layer (e.g., a patterned Ti/Pt layer) in an amine-based anisotropic etchant for Si (e.g., 100.degree. C. EDP) frequently results in undesirable changes in the Ti-comprising metal layer. We have also found that the changes can be substantially reduced or eliminated by electrolytic means, namely, by making the metal layer the anode in an electrolytic cell that contains the etchant.
