In this paper, we discuss the integration of heterogeneous databases with the example of a university information system, based on previous experiences in the implementation of some components. The paper stresses the new opportunities for universities resulting from database integration. We outline the target architecture for an integrated information system whose principle is the coupling of e...

80 A new type of microfluidic system for biological cell manipulation, a CMOS/microfluidic hybrid, is demonstrated. The hybrid system starts with a custom-designed CMOS (complementary metaloxide semiconductor) chip fabricated in a semiconductor foundry using standard integration circuit technology. A microfluidic channel is post-fabricated on top of the CMOS chip to provide biocompatible enviro...
