Abstract: A lateral to free flow assay device is provided for analysis of a fluid sample. The device comprises: a sample collection unit configured to introduce the sample into the device; an optical element configured to facilitate TIR for the analysis of the sample; a fluid pathway configured to provide fluid communication between the sample collection unit and a free flow region adjacent the optical element; a wicking pad defining a lateral flow section of the fluid pathway or provided in the sample collection unit to collect the sample; wherein at least one surface of the optical element defines at least part of the free flow region of the fluid pathway; and wherein the fluid pathway is configured to enable fluid flow from the lateral flow region to the free flow region of the fluid pathway to facilitate the analysis of the sample.

Abstract: A method of obtaining spectral information comprises initiating at least a first excitation at a first excitation frequency and a second excitation at a second frequency in a surface enhanced sample. The method further comprises varying one of said first and second excitation frequencies, detecting an output signal having an output signal strength and identifying an output signal peak. In addition the method includes correlating the identified output signal with the first and second excitation frequencies to obtain spectral information, in which the surface enhanced sample substrate is configured to enhance the field corresponding to at least one of the first and second excitation, or output fields initiated in this sample.

Abstract: An image of an eye is first captured and stored, as a 256 grey level image or as a colour image, and is then evaluated to determine thresholds between the values of pixels representing different parts of the eye. The thresholds are used to determine the boundary between the pupil and the iris and the boundary between the iris and the selera by determining the points at which lines across the image change their value with respect to a threshold value. Once the location of the iris has been found, the image is further processed to extract a biometric code from the iris using a linearisation procedure followed by a wavelet transformation. Finally, a biometric code is output by the processor.

Abstract: A feature set module for programming features of a vehicle control system is disclosed. The feature set module is designed to be easily attached to or detached from an interface module of a control system. The feature set module may include a latching mechanism to secure the feature set module to the interface module. Additionally, the feature set module has terminals that communicate with terminals of the interface module.
