Abstract: A vent hole cleaning system is disclosed. The cleaning system is comprised of a housing containing a work table and a support column. The system further comprises a robotic arm mounted on the support column. Further, a subsystem is mounted at an end, opposite to the support column, of the robotic arm. The subsystem may comprise a scanner configured to generate a contour profile of a mold. Further, a vision system may be mounted on the subsystem. The vision system may be communicably connected to the scanner. Further, the system may comprise a cleaning head communicably connected to the vision system and the scanner to enable precision positioning on the mold.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are microcantilevers having structural shapes that are less sensitive to turbulence and drift effects yet provide greater deflections due to analyte concentration. The structural shapes include a C-shaped microcantilever, an E-shaped microcantilever, an L-shaped microcantilever, a double microcantilever, a slit microcantilever, a tapered microcantilever, and a triangular microcantilever. The microcantilevers may be piezoresistive microcantilevers. Also disclosed are microsensors, microfluidic devices, and biochips that comprise the microcantilevers as well as methods of using the microcantilevers to detect analytes in a fluid sample.
