Point of Care Microfluidic Aggrogometer
This invention is a device to assess platelet aggregation for diagnosis of thrombotic diseases and continual monitoring with anti-platelet therapy.
Background:
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and, with over 50% of those deaths due to clot formation from myocardial ischemia and infarction. Anti-platelet therapies commonly...

HyperShear in a Channel: A Microfluidic Facsimile of Ventricular Assist Devices to Reduce Thrombotic Risk and Enhance Patient Safety
This technology utilizes device thrombogenicity emulation--a method which mimics the shear stresses that would be exhibited within the patient in order to assess proper anti-thrombolytic therapies. Shear stresses are observed in a microfluidic facsimile of a ventricular assist device (VAD), which can quickly be translated to assess the personal risk...

Distributed Feedback Fiber Laser Pumped by Multimode Diode Lasers
Researchers at the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences and Canada's Carleton University recently succeeded in fabricating high reflectivity (>99%) Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) into phosphate glass fibers using UV light and a phase mask technique. With this new manufacturing technique, fiber lasers can be created as single monolithic...

All-Fiber Multicore Fiber Laser Devices
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a compact, power-scalable, alignment-free fiber laser that takes a new approach to stabilizing phase-locked operation of multi-core fiber lasers by completely removing all free space optical components. This high-brightness, all-fiber laser package uses passive optical fiber spliced at both ends...
