  • Patent number: 11442015
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to sample test cards having an increased sample well capacity for analyzing biological or other test samples. In one embodiment, the sample test cards of the present invention comprises a fluid channel network disposed in both the first surface and the second surface and connecting the fluid intake port to the sample wells, the fluid channel network comprising at least one distribution channels, a plurality of fill channels operatively connected to the at least one distribution channel, a plurality of through-channels operatively connected to one or more of the fill channels and a plurality of horizontally orientated fill ports operatively connecting the fill channels to the sample wells.

  • Patent number: 10987668
    Abstract: Provided herein are a test card, method of manufacturing the same, and mold for manufacturing the same. The test card may include a body and a well. The body may include a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The well may define an opening extending from the first surface to the second surface and configured to receive a sample therein. The well may further include a shelf extending into the opening, such that the opening is narrower between the shelf and the second surface than between the shelf and the first surface.

  • Patent number: 8774407
    Abstract: An example method is provided and includes providing an encrypted image to a central processing unit of an integrated circuit and decrypting the encrypted image using a cryptographic key element. The cryptographic key element is embedded within the integrated circuit. The method also includes evaluating the decrypted image in order to verify its authenticity, and executing the decrypted image if the decrypted image is successfully verified. In more particular embodiments, the verification includes utilizing an executable and linkable format (ELF) to signify that encryption has been enabled for at least a portion of the encrypted image. A processor within the integrated circuit can be provided with the cryptographic key element that corresponds to a product family of devices. The method can also include providing a corresponding image of the decrypted image to an external memory of the integrated circuit.

  • Publication number: 20080126867
    Abstract: A system and method for selective regression testing is described. The system and method provides a test script database identifying multiple portions of a first low level code (e.g., assembly code) and tests associated with at least one of the multiple portions of first low level code. A comparator may identify a change set between the multiple portions of the first low level code and corresponding portions of modified low level code. After the database has been queried by a changed set query module, using the identified change set as key, an optimum or reduced test suite is identified from the database, to be run on the modified low level code, thereby to verify the change set.
