Abstract: The present invention is related to the field of microfluidics and compound distribution within microfluidic devices and their associated systems. In one embodiment, present invention aims to solve the problem of molecule and compound absorbency into the materials making up laboratory equipment, microfluidic devices and their related infrastructure, without unduly restricting gas transport within microfluidic devices.

Abstract: The present invention relates to microfluidic fluidic devices, methods and systems as microfluidic kidney on-chips, e.g. human Proximal Tubule-Chip.

Abstract: An apparatus for replicating swimming, rowing, cycling or other exercise modalities. An apparatus includes a base, a frame extending up from the base, and a support member coupled to a top portion of the frame. The apparatus further includes a forward-ascending bench. The bench includes a torso support section to support a user's torso, pivotally coupled to the support member, and configured for limited angular rotation about an axis parallel to at least a portion of the support member. The bench further includes left and right leg support sections, pivotally coupled to the torso support section, to support at least the user's thighs. The apparatus also includes a coupling member extending forward from the base, and configured to interchangeably couple with an exercise module.

Abstract: A universal variable resistance device is disclosed. The device includes a flexible, resilient rod having a base end for mounting to a stable or immovable object, and a distal end against which a force is exerted to flex the rod. One or more outer rods are coaxially mounted around the rod. Each of the one or more outer rods is configured to extend toward the distal end of the center rod to provide an increased resistance to the force and retract toward the base end of the center rod to provide less resistance to the force. Alternatively, a holder is provided that holds the rod at a point along the rod. The holder is configured to slide toward the distal end of the rod to provide an increased resistance to the force, and slide toward the base end of the rod to provide less resistance to the force.
