A diagnostic test system includes a housing, a reader, and a data analyzer. The housing includes a port constructed and arranged to receive a test strip that includes a flow path for a fluid sample, a sample receiving zone couple to the flow path, a label that specifically binds a target analyte, a detection zone coupled to the flow path and comprising a test region exposed for optical inspection and having an immobilized test reagent that specifically binds the target analyte, and at least one reference feature. The reader is operable to obtain light intensity measurements from exposed regions of the test strip when the test strip is loaded in the port. The data analyzer is operable to perform operations including at least one of (a) identifying ones of the light intensity measurements obtained from the test region based on at least one measurement obtained from the at least one reference feature, and (b) generating a control signal modifying at least one operational parameter of the reader based on at least one measurement obtained from the at least one reference feature.

Diagnostic test system using measurement obtained from reference feature to modify operational parameter of reader

In one aspect, an assay test strip includes a test label that specifically binds a target analyte and a control label that is free of any specific binding affinity for the target analyte and has a different optical characteristic than the test label. In another aspect, an assay test strip includes a test label that specifically binds a target analyte and at least one non-specific-binding label that is free of any specific binding affinity for the target analyte. Systems and methods of reading assay test strips also are described.

Assay test strips with multiple labels and reading same

A transceiver printed circuit board (PCB) includes an integrated circuit (IC) with at least two different functionality, a photodiode and a laser. The IC has a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, a third side connecting the first side and the second side, and a fourth side opposite to the third side. The photodiode and the laser are both located in a first space beside the first side. The functionality of a transimpedance amplifier, a laser driver, and a clock and data recovery is integrated into the IC.

An assay test strip includes a flow path, a sample receiving zone, a label, a detection zone that includes a region of interest, and at least one position marker. The at least one position marker is aligned with respect to the region of interest such that location of the at least one position marker indicates a position of the region of interest. A diagnostic test system includes a reader that obtains light intensity measurement from exposed regions of the test strip, and a data analyzer that performs at least one of (a) identifying ones of the light intensity measurements obtained from the test region based on at least one measurement obtained from the at least one reference feature, and (b) generating a control signal modifying at least one operational parameter of the reader based on at least one measurement obtained from the at least one reference feature.

Methods and systems for calibrating illumination source of diagnostic test system

In one aspect, a diagnostic test system includes a housing, a reader, and a data analyzer. The housing includes a port for receiving a test strip. The reader obtains separable light intensity measurements from localized regions of an area of the detection zone exposed for optical inspection, wherein each of the localized regions is characterized by at least one surface dimension smaller than the first dimension. The data analyzer identifies ones of the light intensity measurements obtained from the at least one test region and computes at least one parameter from the identified ones of the light intensity measurements. In another aspect, the reader obtains a respective set of light intensity measurements from each of multiple corresponding regions of the exposed surface area of the detection zone, and the data analyzer computes at least one parameter from at least one of the sets of light intensity measurements.

Lateral flow assay systems and methods

A system, method, and array of transceivers are disclosed. The disclosed method enables an efficient mechanism for managing electromagnetic radiation by a first processing device and a second processing device into a common area. Concepts of employing different time-varying phase delays at the different emitters of electromagnetic radiation help to minimize the otherwise cumulative effects of multiple emitters being located in close proximity to one another.

A printed circuit board assembly comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) defining a mounting end and an opposite contacting end, a row of first pads on the mounting end, a row of second pads on the contacting end, and an edge connector on the contacting end electrically contacted with the second pads, and a high speed line module mounted on a top side of the PCB and including a group of conductive lines, the conductive lines extending parallel to each other over the plane of the PCB, each conductive line having two ends electrically connected to corresponding first and second pads, respectively.

Printed circuit board having improved high speed transmission lines

A parallel optical communications module includes a top lens and a bottom lens that are spaced from one another to inhibit mechanical forces acting upon the top lens from being transferred to the bottom lens, which is optically aligned with an opto-electronic light source or light detector. The top lens has a reflector portion configured to redirect the optical signals between the bottom lens and one or more optical fibers.

Parallel optical transceiver with top and bottom lenses

A mounting block is provided that has a multi-level upper surface that is used to mount one or more IC chips and the printed circuit board (PCB) thereon at heights that allow the lengths of the bond wires interconnecting the chips with the PCB and/or with the other IC chips to be reduced. The distances between the levels of the multi-level surface are preselected based at least in part on the known height of the PCB and the known height of at least one of the IC chips such that when the chip and the PCB are mounted on the mounting block, the distance between the contact pads of the PCB and the contact pads of the IC chip is very small, thereby allowing the lengths of the bond wires to be kept very short.

Various embodiments of a capacitive touchscreen or touch panel having dual finger or hand navigation and fingerprint reading capabilities. In one embodiment, fingerprints are read and processed by the same capacitive touchscreen controller that reads and processes capacitively-sensed finger or hand touches made across the touchscreen or touch panel. A small portion of the capacitive touchscreen or touch panel is dedicated to reading an authorized user's fingerprints, while a larger or main portion of the capacitive touchscreen or touch panel is dedicated to sensing a user's finger or hand navigation across the touchscreen or touch panel.

Capacitive touchscreen or touch panel with fingerprint reader

Disclosed herein are various embodiments of means and methods for reducing noise interference in a capacitive touchscreen system. Second noise signals related to first noise signals generated by an external noise source are provided to a touchscreen controller, which determines fundamental and harmonic frequencies associated with the first noise signals. In response to determining the fundamental and harmonic frequencies associated with the first noise signals, the touchscreen controller may shift the frequency at which drive signals generated thereby are provided to a capacitive touchscreen. As a result, undesired interference between the first noise signals and the drive signals is minimized or avoided.
