    Abstract: A multiplexed method of monitoring immune-cell responses to different ligands using a micropillar/microwell plate platform is disclosed. The method may include dispensing immune cells onto at least one micropillar chip and inserting the at least one micropillar into at least one microwell on a microwell chip, in which the at least one microwell contains at least one test compound. The method may also include immobilizing antibodies onto at least one micropillar on a micropillar chip and inserting the at least one micropillar into at least one microwell on a microwell chip, in which the at least one microwell contains a test compound. The method may also include treating the micropillar chip with at least one reactive polymer.

    Abstract: An actuating device for orthosis includes a transmission that is operatively connected to a motor such that the motor provides power to the transmission. The transmission includes a first stage, a second stage, and a third stage. Each of these stages includes at least two sprockets and a drive belt tensioned between the two sprockets. The transmission also includes a first shaft and a second shaft. A sprocket of each of the first, second, and third stages of the transmission is attached to the first shaft. An actuating arm is operatively connected to the third stage of the transmission such that the power provided to the transmission by the motor causes the actuating arm to provide an output torque.
