A fluidic device comprising a first region within the wall of the fluidic device comprising a lattice of a plurality of struts positioned in layers forming a network of pores wherein the struts in the first layer are separated from the struts in a third layer by struts in a second layer which are arranged at an angle to the struts in the first layer and the third layer and wherein the struts in the third layer and the first layer are offset in spacing and wherein the struts within a layer are separated from an adjacent strut within the layer by a space such that channels having a tortuous pathway of interconnecting pores is formed; and a second region comprising one or more channels formed within the wall of the device wherein the second region is positioned at the fluidic inlet side, the fluidic outlet side or both.

Method for making a fluidic device

A nanocomposite thermite ink for use in inkjet, screen, and gravure printing. Embodiments of this invention do not require separation of the fuel and oxidizer constituents prior to application of the ink to the printed substrate.

Nanocomposite thermite ink

A method of making a three-dimensional lattice structure, such as a filter used to remove particulates from a gas stream, where the physical lattice structure is designed utilizing software simulation from pre-defined mass transfer and flow characteristics and the designed lattice structure is fabricated using a free-form fabrication manufacturing technique, where the periodic lattice structure is comprised of individual geometric elements.

Regenerable particulate filter

A method for forming a three-dimensional, biocompatible, porous scaffold structure using a solid freeform fabrication technique (referred to herein as robocasting) that can be used as a medical implant into a living organism, such as a human or other mammal. Imaging technology and analysis is first used to determine the three-dimensional design required for the medical implant, such as a bone implant or graft, fashioned as a three-dimensional, biocompatible scaffold structure. The robocasting technique is used to either directly produce the three-dimensional, porous scaffold structure or to produce an over-sized three-dimensional, porous scaffold lattice which can be machined to produce the designed three-dimensional, porous scaffold structure for implantation.
