Methods and systems that employ hybrid fluid flow profiles for optimized movement of materials through channel networks. These systems employ hybrid pressure-based and electrokinetic based flow systems for moving materials through interconnected channel networks while maintaining interconnection among the various channel segments. In particular, the invention is generally directed to channel networks where flow in a first channel segment is driven by pressure flow with its consequent parabolic flow profile, while flow in an interconnected channel segment is dominated by electrokinetic flow with its consequent plug flow profile. The invention also provides channel networks wherein fluid flow in channel segments is driven by both pressure and electric field and the multiple species contained in a fluid plug are separated by altering the applied pressure and electric fields in the various channel segments of the channel networks.

The present invention employs a mass analyzer comprised of a pair of permanent magnets to select a desired species from multiple species within a ribbon type ion beam. These permanent magnets provide a substantially uniform magnetic field of adequate magnitude in a small region not attainable with electromagnets that applies a specific force in a desired direction. The force is applied to passing particles of a ribbon ion beam and causes paths of the particles to alter according to their respective mass. As a result, a selected species can be obtained from a beam by the force causing rejected species and/or contaminants to fail passing through the mass analyzer (e.g., by impacting the magnets themselves and/or another barrier present in the analyzer). As a result of the mass analyzer, dopant/species sources that generate multiple species can be employed instead of sources that only supply a single dopant/species.

An insect trap for multiple species of pest insects, especially flying insects that are an indoor nuisance. The trap contains at least two parallel, planar, transparent faces, each face configured to polarize transmitted light into a single plane. The faces are oriented such that the light polarization planes are at substantially right angles. When the trap is attached substantially flush to a window, phototactic insects against the window perceive the trap faces as transparent and are thus induced to crawl in to the trap. However, light is prevented from passing through both faces, substantially obscuring the view of trapped insects inside to a casual human observer.
