Abstract: A device, system and method for exchanging components between first and second fluids by direct contact in a microfluidic channel. The fluids flow as thin layers in the channel. One of the fluids is passed through a filter upon exiting the channel and is recycled through a secondary processor which changes the fluid's properties. The recycled fluid is reused for further exchange. The filter excludes blood cells from the recycled fluid and prevents or limits clogging of the filter. The secondary processor removes metabolic waste and water by diafiltration.

Abstract: A method for preventing corrosion of a reinforced concrete structure having a reinforcing steel embedded therein, which comprises coating an aggregate-containing primer on the surface of the reinforced concrete structure, to form a primer layer having a rough surface, metal-spraying a metal having an ionization tendency larger than iron on the primer layer to form a metal spray coating layer, and connecting the metal spray coating layer and the reinforcing steel by an electrically conductive material.
