Abstract: An air sanitizing system is provided. The air sanitizing system includes a dispensing device configured to dispense a sanitizing composition into liquid particles and vapor. The air sanitizing system also includes a fan that is configured to disperse the vapor of sanitizing composition into the air. The air sanitizing system includes a filtering device configured to remove at least a portion of the liquid particles.

Abstract: A method of treating the air with a sanitizing composition is provided. The method includes dispensing a sanitizing composition in the form of liquid particles and vapor from a dispensing device; circulating the vapor into the air; removing at least a portion of the liquid particles dispensed from the dispensing device; and reducing the level of airborne microorganisms in the air.

Abstract: A valve for use in connection with microfluidic devices includes a safety feature such that flow is controlled even in the case of a loss of power, thus having applications in critical applications such as the precise delivery of drugs overtime. The valve may be used in connection with multiple tubes delivering drugs, and may be used with a pump, such as an electrochemical pump, to provide the force to move the fluids containing drugs for delivery. In certain applications, more than one medicine may be delivered and metered independently using a single pump with multiple reservoirs and valves.

Abstract: Electrochemical actuation is disclosed for fluid movement and flow control in microfluidic devices, allowing for miniaturization, minimal power requirements, single-use disposability and engineering of small, complex fluidic networks. In one embodiment, a single-dose fluid delivery device is operable to deliver a bolus dose, in a single extended stroke or in multiple repeated doses. The device uses three electrochemically-actuated chambers, two of the chambers operating as inlet/outlet valves for the device and a third providing both a temporary containment and pumping action. By sequential manipulation of the fluid pressure in the three chambers, fluids may be delivered in precise quantities by the device.

Abstract: An automated assay platform for determining the presence and/or amount of analytes of interest in a sample at point of care integrates microfluidic enhanced assay sites, disposable cartridge designs, a sensitive low-volume detection module, together with selected pumping and valving modules, customized control board and user friendly graphical user interface (GUI). Comparing to traditional assay platform like 96-well ELISA, the platform is capable of reducing reagent consumption, increasing assay speed, and enhancing assay performance with a sample-in-answer-out automated process. This platform also features flexibility of adapting different assay schemes for different analytes.

Abstract: A technique for maintaining secure network connections is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for maintaining secure network connections. The method may comprise detecting a change of address associated with a first network element. The method may also comprise updating at least one first security configuration at the first network element.
