Modulation of radial blood flow during Braille character discrimination task Running title: Change in blood flow during Braille reading
Purpose: Human hands are excellent in performing sensory and motor function. We hypothesized that blood flow of the hand are dynamically regulated by sympathetic outflow during concentrated finger perception. To identify this hypothesis, we measured radial blood flow (RBF), radial vascular conductance (RVC), heart rate (HR), and arterial blood pressure (AP) during Braille reading performed unde...
متن کاملActive Continuous-Flow Micromixer Using an External Braille Pin Actuator Array
We present a continuous-flow active micromixer based on channel-wall deflection in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip for volume flows in the range up to 2 μL s −1 which is intended as a novel unit operation for the microfluidic Braille pin actuated platform. The chip design comprises a main microchannel connected to a series of side channels with dead ends aligned on the Braille pins. Computer...
متن کاملControl andmanipulation of microfluidic flow via elastic deformations
We utilize elastic deformations via mechanical actuation to control and direct fluid flow within a flexible microfluidic device. The device consists of a microchannel with a flexible arch prepared by the buckling of a thin elastic film. The deflection of the arch can be predicted and controlled using the classical theory of Euler buckling. The fluid flow rate is then controlled by coupling the ...
متن کاملOn-demand Control of Microfluidic Flow via Solenoid Microvalve Suction
A simple, low-cost and on-demand microfluidic controlling platform was developed based on a capillary-tuned solenoid microvalve suction effect without any outer pressure source. The suction effect was employed as a stable driving force for manipulating micro-fluid by connecting a piece of capillary tubing between the microvalve and the chip. The suction volume could be controlled from microlite...
متن کاملAcoustofluidic control of bubble size in microfluidic flow-focusing configuration.
This paper reports a method to control the bubble size generated in a microfluidic flow-focusing configuration. With an ultrasonic transducer, we induce acoustic streaming using a forward moving, oscillating gas-liquid interface. The induced streaming substantially affects the formation process of gas bubbles. The oscillating interface acts as a pump that increases the gas flow rate significant...
