Abstract: The subject matter of the present disclosure generally relates to techniques for addressing or correcting dysregulation of the trauma regulation pathway. The dysregulation may be associated with a physiological condition, such as a SARS-CoV-2 viral infection. In an embodiment, the techniques include treating dysregulation based on a renin-angiotensin pathway molecule or cell and/or a splenic pathway molecule or cell using targeted neuromodulation. In an embodiment, neuromodulation is used to regulate the immune system, e.g., as an energy-based adjuvant for a vaccine.

Abstract: The subject matter of the present disclosure generally relates to techniques for neuromodulation that include applying energy (e.g., ultrasound energy) into an internal tissue to cause tissue displacement and identifying that the tissue displacement has occurred. In one embodiment, the presence of tissue displacement is associated with a desired therapeutic or physiological outcome, such as a change in a molecule of interest.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to techniques for accurate positioning of an energy application device for neuromodulation treatment protocols. In one embodiment, a neuromodulation positioning patch is applied to a patient's skin. The energy application device is configured to couple to a frame of the neuromodulation positioning patch to position a transducer of the energy application device within an opening at a treatment position within the opening. In one embodiment, the frame is also configured to couple to a removable dock for an imaging probe that, when coupled to the removable dock and, in turn, the frame of the neuromodulation positioning patch, is configured to acquire image data through the opening to identify or verify a treatment position.

Abstract: The present approach relates to the fabrication and use of a probe array having multiple individual probes. In one embodiment, the probes of the probe array may be functionalized such that certain of the probes are suitable for electrical sensing (e.g., recording) or stimulation, non-electrical sensing or stimulation (e.g., chemical sensing and/or release of biomolecules when activated), or a combination of electrical and non-electrical sensing or stimulation.

Abstract: Described are multi-functional beads and methods to capture rare cells directly from low-volume biological samples and perform both functional and genomic assays from those cells. This is accomplished using a multifunctional capture bead that allows co-localization of both the single cell capture element and the molecular assay components. When combined with a digital microfluidic platform this enables encoding and/or barcoding of specific single cells.

Abstract: A microclarification system is disclosed which can be used to separate solid particulates dispersed within a base fluid such as water. The microclarification system includes a plurality of microfluidic separator units disposed between and in fluid communication with a fluid inlet manifold and a fluid outlet manifold. The microclarification system enforces lamellar flow of fluid though it and as a result the rate at which particles settle is enhanced within a collection chamber associated with each microfluidic separator unit and through which the fluid being purified must pass. Each microfluidic separator unit includes a microfluidic outlet microchannel disposed between the microfluidic collection chamber and the fluid outlet manifold, and a gas-liquid flushing module configured to purge particulates from the collection chamber during a collection chamber purge cycle. Optionally, each microfluidic separator unit may include a microfluidic inlet microchannel. The system holds promise in municipal water purification among other applications.
