20100070512 | ORGANISING AND STORING DOCUMENTS - A data handling device has access to a store of existing metadata pertaining to existing documents having associated metadata terms. It selects metadata assigned to documents deemed to be of interest to a user and analyses the metadata to generate statistical data as to the co-occurrence of pairs of terms in the metadata of one and the same document. When a fresh document is received, it is analysed to assign to it a set of terms and determine for each a measure of their strength of association with the document. Then, a score is generated for the document, for each term of the set, the score being a monotonically increasing function of (a) the strength of association with the document and of (b) the relative frequency of co-occurrence of that term and another term that occurs in the set. The score represents the relevance of the document to the users and can be used (following comparison with a threshold, or with the scores of other such documents) to determine whether the document is to be reported to the user, and/or retrieved. | 03-18-2010 |

20110261358 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A SPECTROMETER - A method of operating a spectrometer to determine the wavelength of an optical signal, in particular for determining the resonant wavelength of an optical fibre Bragg grating. The spectrometer comprises an array of photosensitive pixels each of which generates an output signal in response to the intensity of light incident on the pixel, and a refractive element arranged to direct light to a particular position in the array depending on the wavelength of the light. The method involves selecting a first group of pixels in the array by reference to an expected wavelength distribution of the optical signal and monitoring the output signals from the first group of pixels. On the basis of the output signals from the first group of pixels a second group of pixels is selected and the wavelength of the optical signal is determined from the output signals of the second group of pixels. The method has the advantage that the wavelength of the optical signal can be determined without scanning every pixel in the array individually. | 10-27-2011 |

20090136965 | Use of antibody-ligand binding to characterise diseases - We have found that when an antibody binds to (captures) its specific ligand, the antibody-ligand complex is redirected to a route of elimination which is different from that which occurs naturally for the specific ligand that is not bound to an antibody. As a consequence, the amount of antibody-bound ligand in the blood increases over time. The increase in total ligand concentration is a property that is specific to the patient to whom the antibody is administered. Accordingly, the invention provides a method for diagnosing disease in a subject and a method for identifying the most appropriate treatment for a particular patient. Patients who produce more ligand, and thus more antibody-ligand complex, may be more likely to have a disease which is predominantly driven by that ligand. These patients should respond better to a therapy targeted against that ligand. The better understanding of the underlying malfunctions in disease biology provided by the methods of the invention, in respect of the rates of production of natural ligands in health and disease, provides a logical and targeted selection of the appropriate treatments to address specific biological abnormalities. | 05-28-2009 |

The body portion proximity sensor module of the analytical test strip is configured to sense presence of a user's body portion (e.g., a user's finger, forearm or palm) within a predetermined distance of the strip port connector and, upon sensing the presence of such a body portion, transmit a signal to the micro-controller indicating the presence of such a body portion. | 11-19-2015 |
20150369769 | END-FILL ELECTROCHEMICAL-BASED ANALYTICAL TEST STRIP WITH PERPENDICULAR INTERSECTING SAMPLE-RECEIVING CHAMBERS - An electrochemical-based analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (for example, a whole blood sample) and/or a characteristic of the bodily fluid sample (e.g., hematocrit) includes a sample-entry chamber with a sample-application opening disposed on an end edge of the electrochemical-based analytical test strip, and first and second sample-determination chambers, each in direct fluidic communication with the sample-entry chamber. The electrochemical-based analytical test strip also includes first and second electrodes (such as first and second hematocrit electrodes) disposed in the first sample-determination chamber, and a third and fourth electrodes (for example working and reference electrodes) disposed in the second sample-determination chamber. Moreover, the first and second sample-determination chambers intersect the sample-entry chamber perpendicular (or nearly perpendicular) to one another and the first sample-determination chamber also intersects the sample-entry chamber in an aligned manner. | 12-24-2015 |

20150192563 | PHASE-DIFFERENCE DETERMINATION USING TEST METER - A hand-held test meter includes a strip port connector to receive a test strip. A signal-measurement circuit applies a periodic voltage signal across a sample applied to the strip and detects a resulting current signal. The circuit provides data of the current signal at a digitizing frequency and a selected phase with respect to the voltage signal. A processor records one or more value(s) of the data and then alters the selected phase. Value(s) are thus recorded at each of a plurality of phases. The processor determines a phase difference of the current signal with respect to the voltage signal using the respective sets of value(s). A method for employing a test meter and a test strip is also disclosed, and includes measuring a respective plurality of points for each of a plurality of different measurement phases and determining a phase difference of a fluid sample therefrom. | 07-09-2015 |

20090083512 | Method and System for Finding Scrolled Regions Within a Tile Cache - In a method embodiment, a method includes periodically polling data sent to an output. The output is operable to render the data into a human-perceptible form. The method further includes determining if at least one partition of a first plurality of discrete partitions of the perdiodically polled data is substantially identical to a combination of respective portions of at least two partitions of a second plurality of discrete partitions of data recorded within a computer-readable storage. | 03-26-2009 |
