The present invention allows multiple participants to share streaming media in an efficient and effective manner, where with select embodiments, playback and playback control of the streaming media may be synchronized among the participants. The silicon-on-insulator wafer includes a silicon substrate having optical vias formed therein. In a bioartificial hemofilter, this facilitates filtrate transport to a collection fiber for drainage from the body. The wheel additionally includes a cover member configured to attach to the exposed annular surface of the rim.
