Abstract: Described herein are various inventions and embodiments thereof, directed to systems, devices, and methods for analysis of a biofluid, as well as controlling a biofluid analysis system using a microfluidic device. Embodiments of biofluid analysis systems disclosed herein may provide analysis of a biofluid to identify and characterize one or more analytes. An apparatus may include a first layer defining a first opening and a second opening. The first layer may be substantially transparent. A second layer may be coupled to the first layer and define a microfluidic channel that establishes a fluid communication path between the first opening and the second opening. At least a portion of the second layer may be substantially opaque.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to processes for predicting airflow rates. According to some embodiments, some process steps can include developing a three-dimensional computer-aided design model of a test body topology; discretizing the test body topology; discretizing a volume surrounding the test body topology, the volume being bounded by a test chamber; identifying test body components upon which to collect empirical data; obtaining empirical data for identified components; establishing an airflow model; validating the airflow model in comparison to experimental data; obtaining a flow rate from the validated airflow model; and determining whether the mass flow rate is acceptable.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for enabling a network between a first and a second processor using at least one additional processor separate from the first and the second processors. In one embodiment, the additional processor may provide a set of names that includes the name of the second processor and receive on behalf of the first processor information indicating a selection that includes the name of the second processor. Further, the additional processor may provide a set of names that includes the name of the first processor and receives on behalf of the second processor information indicating a selection that includes the name of the first processor. The additional processor may determine a first virtual address for the first processor and a second virtual address for the second processor such that the first and second virtual addresses uniquely identify the first and second processors, respectively, and are routable through the network.
