  • Patent number: 11762674
    Abstract: An example system includes a plurality of scriptable devices, each of which exposes an interface. The system may also comprise a medium storing data indicating, for each of a mapped plurality of device operations, one or more inputs to provide to a corresponding device from the plurality of scriptable devices and a conversion between that device operation and a corresponding application command. In such a system, the medium may also store a plurality of scripts, each of which may have a corresponding scriptable device from the plurality of scriptable devices and may comprise a set of device operations. The system may also comprise a computer to repeatedly preform an operation cycle comprising determining whether an application command should be executed and, when it should, generating a globally unique identifier corresponding to that command and adding that globally unique identifier and a device operation corresponding to that command to a log.

  • Patent number: 11724257
    Abstract: The application relates to microfluidic apparatus and methods of use thereof. Provided in one example is a microfluidic device comprising: a first fluidic input and a second fluidic input; and a fluidic intersection channel to receive fluid from the first fluidic input and the second fluidic input, wherein the fluidic intersection channel opens into a first mixing chamber on an upper region of a first side of the first mixing chamber, wherein the first mixing chamber has a length, a width, and a depth, wherein the depth is greater than about 1.5 times a depth of the fluidic intersection channel; an outlet channel on an upper region of a second side of the first mixing chamber, wherein the outlet channel has a depth that is less than the depth of the first mixing chamber, and wherein an opening of the outlet channel is offset along a width of the second side of the first mixing chamber relative to the fluidic intersection.
