Abstract: The present disclosure relates to lateral flow test strips comprising an active control and diagnostic devices comprising same for making determinations about the presence or absence of one or more target analytes in a sample. For example, the present disclosure relates to lateral flow test strips comprising an active control which recognises a control analyte which is abundant in the biological sample being tested e.g., such as human serum albumin (HSA) in blood, and diagnostic devices comprising same. In some examples, the lateral flow test strips of the disclosure may comprise an active control and one or more internal controls.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for identifying conditions in a human or animal body, such as pregnancy or ovulation. For example, the present disclosure relates to devices and methods for identifying pregnancy or ovulation, which devices and methods are adapted to mitigate the “hook effect”, thereby improving accuracy of the devices and methods.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to a food product comprising a composition comprising a basic metal salt, particularly pet food products, and further pertains to the use of such composition to reduce lipid oxidation and/or discoloration of such food product, particularly wet food products, e.g., during processing and storage.

Abstract: A composition comprising iron(II) carbonate and a digestible binder is disclosed, wherein the composition comprises crystals of iron(II) carbonate, which are agglomerated with the digestible binder to form digestible agglomerated particles. Also disclosed is a method of preparation of such composition, as well as uses of such composition.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for developing failure prediction software for a storage system. The present invention allows a user to edit and revise a failure prediction algorithm that includes fuzzy logic rules. The failure prediction algorithm is generated in a human readable format and uses terms and operators familiar to experts in the field of storage systems. In addition, the present invention generates the machine-readable code necessary to implement or test a draft failure prediction algorithm. If the results of the failure prediction algorithm are unsatisfactory, the user may revise the failure prediction algorithm and re-run the tests until the results correspond to expected results. In addition, the present invention includes a performance monitor, processor, and determination module. The performance monitor gathers performance data for a storage system. The processor executes the failure prediction algorithm on the performance data to produce a result.
