Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides systems and methods for situation awareness. When executing a set of instructions stored in at least one non-transitory storage medium, at least one processor may be configured to cause the system to perform operations including obtaining, from at least one of one or more sensors, environmental data associated with an environment corresponding to a first time point, generating a first static global representation of an environment corresponding to the first time point based at least in part on the environmental data, generating a first dynamic global representation of the environment corresponding to the first time point based at least in part on the environmental data, and estimating, based on the first static global representation and the first dynamic global representation, a target state of the environment at a target time point using a target estimation model.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for the detection and identification of target nucleic acids within a tissue sample using fluorescent probes, wherein the probes comprise a target-binding domain and a barcode domain.

Abstract: The present disclosure is based in part on probes, compositions, methods, and kits for simultaneous, multiplexed spatial detection and quantification of protein and/or nucleic acid expression in a user-defined region of a tissue, user-defined cell, and/or user-defined subcellular structure within a cell.

Abstract: A system for intra-operative blood salvage autotransfusion is provided. The system comprises at least one inlet configured to receive whole blood of a patient; at least one curvilinear microchannel in fluid flow connection with the at least one inlet, the at least one curvilinear microchannel being adapted to isolate circulating tumor cells in the whole blood, based on cell size, along at least one portion of a cross-section of the at least one curvilinear microchannel; and at least two outlets in fluid flow connection with the at least one curvilinear microchannel, at least one outlet of the at least two outlets being configured to flow the circulating tumor cells isolated from the whole blood, and at least one other outlet of the at least two outlets being configured to flow at least a portion of a remainder of the whole blood, cleansed of the isolated circulating tumor cells, for return to the patient.

Abstract: A system includes a microfluidic device configured to isolate one or more particles from a mixture, a flow rate matching device configured to match flow rate of the microfluidic device with flow rate of an electrical measurement device configured to measure an electrical property of the isolated particles, and an electrical measurement device configured to measure an electrical property of the isolated particles.

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.
