  • Microfluidic biological barrier model and associated method
    Patent number: 9513280
    Abstract: A biological barrier model is disclosed. In some embodiments the barrier may be configured to model the blood brain barrier. The model may include a membrane having one or more cell cultures disposed thereon. The cells cultures may be grown in the presence of shear stress induced by flow through the device in some embodiments. The size of the barrier, as well as the distance to electrodes and other sensors, may be in the microscale range. Further, in some embodiments the model may comprise an array of parallel channels and membranes.

  • Parachute with main chute release dependant upon pilot chute deployment
    Patent number: 4039164
    Abstract: This invention is an improvement in the art of parachutes. A parachute has a pilot chute and a main chute and provides that the main chute is locked in place and is not released until the pilot chute is properly deployed. This improvement may also provide for the actuating of the release of the main chute by the deployment of the pilot chute. This improvement in turns allows other improvements such as providing the individual parachutes with alternative mountings of the pilot chute for left and right handed people.
