Abstract: A method for producing a sealed microfluidic module which has a module body and a sealing film sealing a microfluidic cavity in a surface of the module body has providing the module body having the microfluidic cavity in a surface thereof and a sealing ridge at least partially surrounding the microfluidic cavity and projects from the surface, providing the sealing film having a sealing layer and an outer layer, the sealing layer having a softening temperature below a sealing temperature and the outer layer having a softening temperature above the sealing temperature, and sealing the microfluidic cavity with the sealing film by bringing the sealing layer of the sealing film into contact with the surface of the module body and applying temperature and pressure to heat the sealing layer to the sealing temperature and to produce an adhesive bond between the sealing film and the module body.

Abstract: An apparatus for transporting magnetic particles. The apparatus can comprise a substrate that can be configured for rotating around an axis of rotation. Further, fluidic structures can be arranged in the substrate, which can comprise an oblique chamber wall that can be arranged at an angle ? with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation. A magnetic force element can be arranged radially inside the oblique chamber wall with respect to the axis of rotation and can be configured to apply a magnetic force to the magnetic particles disposed in the fluidic structures depending on a positional relationship between the magnetic force element and the fluidic structures, wherein the oblique chamber wall is inclined towards the magnetic force element.

Abstract: A computer system for preventing collisions between a first and a second vehicle operating at a work site is described, along with a corresponding computer implemented method and a computer program product.
