Abstract: A system for securing a load to a garment is disclosed, including an internal belt built into a garment. A holster is configured to be attached to the internal belt and a tab is provided which is accessible from outside of the garment to permit the user to selectively tighten the holster. The internal belt is disposed within a sleeve positioned within the interior of the garment.

Abstract: Fluidic devices with a primary transport nanochannel(s) intersected by at least one nanoscale manifold for active control of capture, manipulation and transport of analyte molecules. The at least one manifold can be an array or network of nanochannels, nanoslits or nanoelectrodes joined to a common voltage or pressure source. A respective nanoscale manifold can be configured to allow for precise and active control of driving forces applied to the primary transport nanochannel(s) to drive molecular transport through the various regions along the transport nanochannel(s). The at least one manifold can generate monotonic force gradients with a limited or reduced number of independent input potentials and/or pressures applied to the device.
