A universal rapid diagnostics test reader is disclosed and described herein that includes a set of control electronics, a digital camera component, an illumination component, a housing component, and a rapid diagnostics test tray, wherein the tray can hold at least one rapid diagnostics test having a shape and a size in a fixed position relative to the digital camera component and the illumination component, and wherein the reader can accommodate more than one different rapid diagnostics test. Methods are also disclosed that include: providing at least one first rapid diagnostics test having a first physical size, first feature and first format; providing at least one second rapid diagnostics test having a second physical size, second feature and second format; inserting the first rapid diagnostics test in a universal rapid diagnostics test reader; analyzing the first rapid diagnostics test using the universal rapid diagnostics test reader; removing the first rapid diagnostics test from the reader; inserting the second rapid diagnostics test in a universal rapid diagnostics test reader without any mechanical adjustments of the reader or without the use of any additional parts or additional inserts; and analyzing the second rapid diagnostics test using the universal rapid diagnostics test reader.

Universal rapid diagnostic test reader with trans-visual sensitivity

A secure assay device is disclosed herein that provides: an assay or a test device that provides at least one result, wherein the assay or test device comprises at least one surface which exhibits optical change in response to at least one target particle, at least one marker or a combination thereof; and at least one multi-layer coating that at least partially covers the assay membrane, the assay device or a combination thereof, wherein the multi-layer coating blocks or impairs the user visualization of the optical change, the at least one result or a combination thereof. A secure reader and method of utilizing the secure assay device and secure reader are disclosed herein.

Diagnostic testing assays and related devices with security and methods of use thereof

A universal and standalone rapid diagnostics test reader is disclosed herein that includes: a set of control electronics, an illumination component, an imaging component, a housing component, a wireless communication component, a rapid diagnostics test component, a universal rapid diagnostics test tray, wherein the tray can hold at least one rapid diagnostics test component having a shape and a size in a fixed position relative to the imaging component and the illumination component, and wherein the reader can accommodate more than one different rapid diagnostics test component, while using the same universal rapid diagnostics test tray. A universal rapid diagnostics test tray for a reader is also disclosed that includes: a rapid diagnostics test component; a tray component that is designed to operatively couple with the reader, wherein the reader can analyze more than one different rapid diagnostics test components, while using the same universal rapid diagnostics test tray; and a security component, wherein the security component operatively secures the rapid diagnostics test component in place on the tray component, wherein the tray component can hold the at least one rapid diagnostics test component having a shape and a size in a fixed position relative to the imaging component and the illumination component.

A method and system for engineering discovery. A block diagram of a system can be further refined by building a basic search query listing the functional requirements for block. The search query can be expanded by selecting one or more saved rules. A database can return components or subsystems that meet the criteria from the basic search query or the expanded search query. One or more candidates can be chosen from the answer set and assigned to the block. A system-constraint-based selection can compare combinations of the candidate components against a set of predefined criteria to indicate the components to be used for the system which meet those criteria. The design of the system can be accomplished by using generic descriptions rather than blocks.
