    Abstract: Embodiments include a multiphase flowmeter system (300). The multiphase flowmeter system (300) may include a first inline flow conditioner (310) for reducing a slip velocity between a liquid phase and a gas phase of a multiphase fluid, a flowmeter for measuring a flow rate of the multiphase fluid, a second inline flow conditioner (350) for separating the liquid phase and the gas phase of the multiphase fluid, a non-radioactive sensor system for measuring one or more of a gas void fraction of the multiphase fluid and a water-cut of the multiphase fluid, and a processor (480) for computing one or more flow rates of the multiphase fluid. Embodiments further include methods of measuring one or more flow rates of a multiphase fluid and other related methods, apparatuses, devices, and systems.

    Abstract: There is provided a modular and high-temperature thermal energy storage system, which withstands temperature and mechanical conditions. The disclosed thermal energy storage system comprises a thermal energy storage assembly to adapt to storage capacity requirements of an energy consumer comprises a plurality of thermal energy storage modules are stacked on top of each other to increase energy storage capacity, wherein the stack of thermal energy storage modules acts as a single thermal energy storage unit. Also disclosed is a regenerator manufactured using a plurality of thermal energy storage modules comprises a first chamber to store heat from a hot source resulting in charging operation, and a second chamber to transfer the stored heat to air resulting in discharging. A parallel configuration of the thermal energy storage modules allows for simultaneous charging and discharging operations.

    Abstract: There is provided a microfluidic device for an in vitro lymph node. The microfluidic device disclosed in the present invention, has a body with a semi-circular inner wall and a first channel located adjacent along the semi-circular inner wall. The first channel of the microfluidic device disclosed corresponds to a subcapsular sinus region of a lymph node. The device also has a second channel located adjacent the first channel, which corresponds to a reticular network. A bottom cavity and top cavity, centrally located, corresponding to a paracortex and follicle of a lymph node, respectively. The various compartments of the device are separated by circumferentially and horizontally located rows of micro-pillars. The microfluidic device of the present invention is fabricated with a polysiloxane, preferably polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). There is also provided in the present invention a lab-on-a-chip device incorporating multiple immune cell types within a collagen rich silicone microfluidic device.
