The objective of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for education and training in microfluidic technology. The microfluidic system training apparatus includes multiple flow configurations of microfluidic elements all configured and fabricated on a single plate, a microscope and a camera system connected to a monitor or computer, and a computer based control and data acquisition system as a means of controlling and measuring the flow properties. The hands-on experiments wi...

A flat base has a first plurality of flat depressions, a second plurality of flat depressions, and a third plurality of flat depressions arranged in adjacent rows so the depressions form columns perpendicular to the rows. The first plurality of depressions have identical circular shapes; the second plurality of depressions have identical triangular shapes; and the third plurality of depressions have identical square shapes. A first set of geometric form blocks equal in number to the first plural...

A color keyed or coded education system or kit for teaching a sight vocabulary of functional words including: color cards on which the functional words are color keyed by underlining or by color printing of the word itself, the color cards being of three types, word, phrase, and sentence cards; correlated readers whose covers are colored in correlation with the color of the words of the color cards which are included in the particular reader involved; color coded individual progress charts; and ...

A new method of learning by use of a machine which interacts with the user to guide the user through a programmed series of questions. The system is based on finding trouble spots in the users logic or feelings by observing the users skin response to questions. The computer will ask the user a question. The machine measures the users skin resistance in response to the question and displays the response to the user. The user enters a response to the question on the computer keyboard based on the ...

An educational system including a set of characters comprising foam numbers, operational symbols, and advanced problem solving activities each of which includes touch sensitive fasteners which can be applied to a collapsible, touch sensitive board. The set of math manipulatives permits a student to carry out all pre-algebraic calculations upon a vertical surface by using the touch fasteners to fasten the characters onto the collapsible touch sensitive board.

An illustrated garment for the instructional purpose of describing kinesthetic sensibility of certain actioning modality forms. The garment in the form of a close-fitting leotard covering the limbs and torso can be illustrated with diamonds and circles for the crystalline form of actioning modality or with cup-shaped markings for the kinespheric form of actioning modality or with oblong loop shapes for the kinetic form of actioning modality.

The invention relates to a system (20) and a method and signal used for broadcasting of a media package (28). In the media package, a name list is established for a predetermined period of days or on a day by day basis and includes one name for every day of the period. The list could be established by a software program providing names from a name database. A media channel is used for broadcasting a name of the day media package (28) comprising at least a presentation of the at least name corres...

Methods and systems for delivering multimedia learning modules to one or more students in a computer based education environment. The multimedia education system includes a host server, communication link connecting the host server to a remote computer, and software operable on the host server and remote computer. Methods include providing: a set of global knowledge/vocabulary words with high interest expository text and graphics; a contextual definition for at least one of the words; or an addi...

A visual aid in which a background sheet, FIG. 1, features a diagram. It is desired to demonstrate that one part of the diagram, in this case the angle ACD can fit exactly on another part, in this case the angle ABC. The two parts are jointly used as the basis of a geometrical construction to locate the position of the center of rotation P. A transparent sheet (FIG. 2) is laid over the background sheet. The point Q is marked corresponding to P and the two sheets are pivotally assembled through P...
