    Abstract: A system for additive manufacturing of a product from an electrically conductive depositable material. The system comprises a support element, a material addition system, and two electrodes. The support element supports the product, wherein the two electrodes comprise electrodes configured at a surface of the support element. The material addition system deposits the material at one or more of (i) the support element and (ii) deposited material, thereby forming the product. Any one of the electrodes is configured for (i) electrically contacting the material being deposited or (ii) electrically contacting the deposited material, during depositing of the material. (i) the material is deposited with a portion of the deposited material and arranged between the electrode and another one of the electrodes to define an electrically conductive path. Alternatively, (ii) a portion of the deposited material is arranged between the electrode and another one of the electrodes to define the electrically conductive path.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting superparamagnetic material. The method comprises applying, by an excitation coil, a magnetic field during a first period to an object to modulate a magnetization of the superparamagnetic material, the magnetic field comprising a first component with a first frequency; positioning a sensing device at a first position from the excitation coil receiving a first signal by a first detection sub-coil in the sensing device and a second signal by a second detection-sub-coil in the sensing device; determining a sensor signal from the first signal and the second signal; determining a detection signal based on the sensor signal; determining a parameter indicating an amount of superparamagnetic material by dividing the detection signal by the first signal, and repeating steps to at at least one different position in order to determine a location where the parameter has a maximal value.

    Abstract: A fluidic device for processing a fluid or species therein is described. The device comprises a 3D channel including an inlet for receiving a sample fluid and an outlet for outputting the sample fluid. The channel is adapted for guiding flow of the sample fluid in an axial direction from the inlet to the outlet. The channel includes at least two side walls. The device also has a controllable flow inducer having electrodes for inducing, when the sample fluid is flowing through the channel, a motion of the sample fluid in the channel in a plane substantially orthogonal to the axial direction. Along at least one of the side walls at least part of the electrodes are formed by alternatingly at least an electrically conducting portion, an electrically insulating portion and a further electrically conducting portion.
