Abstract: The present invention provides an improved capacitive bead sensor for detection and/or quantification of target analytes in a sample, with a detection limit down to single-beads, which is re-usable for multiple bead tests, or for a continuous flow of beads, and which is easily manufacturable and automatable. It enables sensitivity down to single molecule detection without the need for enzymatic amplification such as PCR, by use of various structural advantages and electronic signal amplification techniques that further allow for multiplex target detection not only across various nucleic acid targets but across entire target classes allowing for simultaneous detection of viral nucleic acids and host antibodies to that virus for example.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine headphone adjustment for portable people meter listening to encoded audio streams are disclosed. An example system disclosed herein includes meter data analyzer circuitry to determine an audience estimate for streaming media based on media data measured by a media meter, the media meter to measure the streaming media based on an identification of the streaming media in ambient audio collected by a microphone of the media meter, and data analyzer circuitry to calculate at least one headphone adjustment factor based on a first determined proportion of an audience that listens to streaming media via headphones and a second determined proportion of the audience that listens to streaming media without headphones.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method of encrypting and executing an executable image, comprising; flagging sections of the executable image to be encrypted using commands in source files and compiling said executable images so as to generate object files, linking one or more of said executable images using a linker to produce a final executable image, passing said linked executable images to a post-linker encryption engine to encrypt a relocation fix-up patch table and sections of executable images flagged for encryption, and at load time decrypting relocating and executing the executable images.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method and related device and control program for use in decoding executable code in a processing system, for example run-time operating system, including bit-shuffling code at run-time, and including the steps of dividing the code into a plurality of sub-portions, identifying sub-portions of the code that can be bit-shuffled prior to the said run-time and bit-shuffling the said identified sub-portions prior to run-time so as to reduce the bit-shuffling required at run-time.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a method and apparatus for a computer implemented system including a processor and cache memory arranged to receive operating system instructions for context switching between processes, and including control means for writing back cache data to memory means during processor idle cycle at completion of a process, and prior to initiation of the context switch so as to enhance the operating speed since, at the time of initiating the context switch, the cached data has already been written back to memory.
