Neutrally Buoyant Particle Migration in Poiseuille Flow Driven by Pulsatile Velocity.

A neutrally buoyant circular particle migration in two-dimensional (2D) Poiseuille channel flow driven by pulsatile velocity is numerical studied by using immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM). The effects of Reynolds number (25≤Re≤200) and blockage ratio (0.15≤k≤0.

Investigation on Inertial Sorter Coupled with Magnetophoretic Effect for Nonmagnetic Microparticles.

The sizes of most prokaryotic cells are several microns. It is very difficult to separate cells with similar sizes. A sorter with a contraction-expansion microchannel and applied magnetic field is designed to sort microparticles with diameters of 3, 4 and 5 microns.

[Development of portable uterine contraction pressure monitoring system].

For the high cost and mobility issues, a home uterine contraction pressure monitoring system based on Windows CE platform was developed. In this paper, the design of hardware circuit, micro-controller system and LabVIEW program based on Windows CE are discussed. The clinical validation experiment in hospital for this system was made and the experimental results show that this system complies with the trend that current medical equipment is becoming portable, homely and networked.
