Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for generating a product enriched in one or more target particles, comprising a cassette to which the one or more microfluidic cartridges are releasably coupled and supported, the cassette comprising (i) a plurality input containers releasably and fluidically coupled thereto, wherein at least one of the plurality of input containers comprises an incoming sample, (ii) a plurality of outlets having a plurality of output containers releasably and fluidically coupled thereto, (iii) one or more microfluidic cartridges for separating one or more target particles from the sample, and (iv) a plurality of fluidic channels extending between the plurality of inlets, the plurality of outlets, and the one or more microfluidic cartridges, wherein the cassette having the plurality of input containers, the plurality of output containers, and the one or more microfluidic cartridges coupled thereto, collectively provides a closed end-to-end sterile environment that enables inline contin

Abstract: There are responsible and irresponsible people in this world. Irresponsible or unreliable individuals often refuse to perform tasks because it is inconvenient, or they find no benefit to completing the task. Methods and systems that provide incentives and rewards to motivate these types of individuals to complete a task are described. In a game that supports multiple players, an administrator and players are designated. The administrator provides a list of tasks to the players. The players complete the tasks and indicate that the tasks are completed. The administrator provides a real-world reward, such as money, for completing the tasks. The reward is then deposited into the players' accounts.

Abstract: A display shows who a user owes money to on one side of the display and who the user is owed money by on the other side of the display. The parties are shown with a visual representation (e.g., a photo or text), a name, and an amount. The more someone owes or is owed, the farther they are shown extending from the center-line (or 0 owed/is owed line). The user can select a person/entity that the user owes money to by tapping and dragging the visual image and then moving that selection to the same row as a person/entity that owes money to the user. This allows the user to pass some of the money owed to the user to pay the person/entity that the user owes money to. Once confirmed, the tree is updated. The payment provider may facilitate the money exchange between the two selected parties and the user.

Abstract: Photos of recent or prior payees are shown on a user device, such as a smart phone or tablet. The user or payer can select a photo, enter an amount to send, and confirm a payment. The payment provider then processes the payment with minimal input from the payer. Because the photos are of recent or previous payees, the user is able to make a person to person payment with less steps than conventional person to person payments.
