Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a device, designed to receive a microfluidic cartridge, comprising alignment features that are used for aligning internal components of the device. Alignment features are also used for aligning a microfluidic cartridge that is inserted into the device, with components of the device.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to multi-layer microfluidic cartridges comprising alignment features that can be used during assembly to provide precise alignment of the cartridge's layers with respect to planar and rotational or angular alignments imposed on a first virtual triangle to align all layers of the microfluidic cartridge such that their centers lie on a second virtual triangle, and with each slot's longitudinal axis aligned with the one of the angle bisectors of the second virtual triangle's included angles, and wherein the angle bisectors meet within the respective virtual triangles. Such cartridges are suitable for use in medical diagnostics, for example.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a massage device configured to provide a squeezing pressure. The massage device may include an elastically extensible and bendable connector element and at least two rolling massage elements. A portion of the elastically extensible and bendable connector element and the at least two rolling massage elements form a massaging zone configured to receive one or more body parts. The body parts may include feet, forearms, and the like. Accordingly, the massage device may provide relief for specific conditions such as plantar fasciitis and carpel tunnel syndrome.
