  • Micro-fluidic device and uses thereof
    Patent number: 9789485
    Abstract: A micro-fluidic device includes at least one inlet and a curvilinear microchannel having a trapezoidal cross section defined by a radially inner side, a radially outer side, a bottom side, and a top side, the cross section having a) the radially inner side and the radially outer side unequal in height, or b) the radially inner side equal in height to the radially outer side, and wherein the top side has at least two continuous straight sections, each unequal in width to the bottom side.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 2013
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2017
    Assignees: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, National University of Singapore

  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASURING IN VIVO BIOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SKIN
    Publication number: 20110319792
    Abstract: An assembly for measuring in vivo biomechanical properties of skin, comprising a testing device, said testing device comprising; a first pad attachable to the skin a second pad attachable to the skin, at a known distance from the first pad; said attachability of the pads to the skin to prevent relative movement between the respective pad and the skin to which it is attached; a forcing means for applying a force to the first pad, whilst said pads are attached to the skin, along a first axis connecting the first and second pad, to induce a corresponding relative movement between the pads due to deformation of the skin between said pads; a force measurement device for measuring the applied force, and; a displacement measurement device for measuring the corresponding induced movement.
