Abstract: A method of dynamically creating and modifying an electronic survey includes providing a website having a database storing previously collected survey results; each of the surveys having survey questions and selectable answers; receiving respondent input, via a GUI, requesting a survey within the database, presenting, a survey matching the respondent input including the survey questions, the selectable survey questions having selectable answer options including question modification, answer provision and answer modification options; receiving a respondent response to the survey questions including one or more of: selecting the question modification option and providing a new or modified question, selecting the answer provision option and providing a selected answer, and selecting the answer modification option and providing a modified answer; uploading the respondent response to the database, and dynamically and automatically modifying the survey by appending the respondent response, and the dynamically alter

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a dynamic survey, and collecting and distributing dynamic survey information are disclosed. A method includes providing one or more survey questions, where each survey question corresponds to a plurality of selectable response options, receiving a modification of at least one of the selectable response options, where the modification corresponds to an answer that more accurately reflects an opinion of a respondent than the selectable response options, searching a database for additional modifications to the selectable response options, and when the modification matches an existing modification from the additional modifications, logging the modification in the database as an additional modification.

Abstract: A method of forming a plurality of hollow fibers includes the step of providing an elongated flexible substantially continuous fiber and coating an outer surface of the fiber with a hollow fiber material. The hollow fiber material is cured or hardened. A gap is created between the outer surface of the support fiber and the inner surface of the coating layer defined thereon. The coated support fiber is cut into a plurality of fiber segments each having exposed ends. The support fiber segments are removed from the coating layer so as to provide a plurality of hollow fibers.

Abstract: A method of forming hollow fiber bundles includes the step of providing a mat having a plurality of hollow fibers forming a weft and a plurality of soluble fibers forming a warp. Each hollow fiber extends between a first side and an opposed second side of the mat. The mat is bundled so as to form a bundle with the first side of the mat defining a first end of the bundle and the second side of the mat defining a second end of the bundle. At least a portion of the bundle is potted so as to substantially fix a position of the hollow fibers relative to each other. The soluble fibers are at least partially dissolved so as to remove the soluble fibers from the bundle.

Abstract: A thin walled microtube is formed by providing a continuous elongated member having an outer surface. The member is at least partially formed of a water soluble material. A coating material is provided. The coating material may be a silicone compound that is curable such that the coating material cures into a substantial non-porous silicone. The outer surface of the elongated member is coated with a coating material so as to form a substantially uniform and continuous layer of coating material on the outer surface. The layer of coating material is cured so as to form a substantial uniform and continuous layer of substantially non-porous silicone on the outer surface. The elongated member is at least partially dissolved using water and purged from the silicone layer, such that an elongated tube of substantially non-porous silicone is formed.
