Abstract: This disclosure describes microfluidic tissue biopsy and immune response drug evaluation devices and systems. A microfluidic device can include an inlet channel having a first end configured to receive a fluid sample optionally containing a tissue sample. The microfluidic device can also include a tissue trapping region at the second end of the inlet channel downstream from the first end. The tissue trapping region can include one or more tissue traps configured to catch a tissue sample flowing through the inlet channel such that the fluid sample contacts the tissue trap. The microfluidic device can also include one or more channels providing an outlet.

Abstract: The present disclosure introduces new multi-functional vibrating devices, methods of using the devices, and methods of manufacturing the devices. A multi-functional vibrating device can include one or more actuators, each paired with an amplifier capable of converting small lateral vibration into large vertical vibration. The present disclosure also involves interactive information acquisition technologies and assistive technologies, particularly devices, methods, and systems for tactile information transfer and acquisition. Some embodiments incorporate multi-functional vibrational devices, methods, and systems to achieve unique structural and operational characteristics—such as high-resolution, robustness, versatility, compactness, and/or rapid refresh rates—for communicating information. Some embodiments can convert information from a format that is less convenient and/or accessible in some cases (e.g., visual or audio) to an intuitive and/or private format (e.g., tactile patterns and motions).
