Today's world has very much demand for the development of microscale devices, due to its less cost, space requirements, high-dimensional stability and especially manufacturing time. In this paper, we have design and simulated MEMS based microactuator and microneedle integration which will be very helpful for blood sampling device like e-mosquito. The dimensions of the modeled beam are of 100 mm long, 30 mm width, 10 mm thickness. This new design model consists of piezoceramic material sandwiched between two metal electrodes and the piezoelectric actuator is made with microneedle which will help for blood sampling purposes. The results after the simulation of this new model present that it will be suitable for blood sampling analysis with aluminum as electrodes and silicon as microneedle.

An implantable drug-delivery and venous sampling device is described that is constructed from a polyvinyl chloride catheter and a rubber intravenous catheter plug coated with Silastic. The implant was used for repeated venous sampling and for both administration of parenteral solutions and injections into the right colon of the rat for periods to 1 mo.

In this paper, a new early strength tile adhesive is prepared by using α- high strength gypsum and its properties are discussed. The research methods refer to relevant Chinese standards. The results show that the tensile bond strength of the adhesive can reach 0.6 MPa in one day and 1.5 MPa in 7 days, which is close to 80% of 28-day strength. It is indicating that the adhesive has high bond strength, rapid strength development, and high dimensional stability. It effectively solves the problems that the traditional cement-based tile adhesive is prone to hollowing, falling off, and cracking. Additionally, no interface treatment is required during the using process of this gypsum-based adhesive.

O-MMT treated unsaturated polyester based hybrid composites were prepared using keratin fiber obtained from chicken feathers. Fibers of similar dimension were selected to fabricate composites through hand lay-up method. The preparation and dimensional stability properties of keratin fiber as reinforcements in composites is outlined in this paper. Varying O-MMT contents in nancomposites is performed to investigate the effects on the dimensional stability (water absorption and thickness swelling) of the composites. Results indicated that increasing fiber content deteriorates dimensional stability of the composites and composites. However, improvements in dimensional stability of the keratin fibercomposites were observed with O-MMT. O-MMT treatment reduces the water absorption and thickness swelling, especially at 5wt% of O-MMT concentrationat all range of fiber content. At 5wt% concentration of O-MMt, 10wt% keratin fiber content marks the lowest water absorption and thickness swelling with rate of 0.65% and 1.93%, respectively. Adopting 10wt% of keratin fiber at 5wt% of O-MMT can be utilized for application requiring high dimensional stability.

The present study was undertaken to examine the relationship between the plasma levels of melatonin and its precursor tryptophan. No circadian changes in plasma total tryptophan content were evident which could be related to the marked night-time rise in plasma melatonin. An automated programmable blood sampling device suited to studies of circadian rhythms in blood constituents is described.
