Abstract: A biological material test strip and adjacently-located reference color chart are affixed to a lid portion of an all-in-one specimen cup to perform color-based reaction testing of collected biological specimens in an uncalibrated environment. After specimen collection, the lid portion is secured to a container portion of the specimen cup. The cup may then be rotated into an upside down position causing the specimen, under the force of gravity, to pass from the container portion and into a volume of the lid portion, such that the test strip is exposed to the specimen as it is received into the volume of the lid portion. An image of the exposed test strip and adjacently-located reference color chart may then be captured and processed to identify any color matches between the individual test pads on the test strip and the corresponding sequences of reference color blocks on the reference chart.

Abstract: The invention relates to Nucleobindin-1 (NUCB1) protein variants that are capable of disaggregating amyloid fibrils as well as inhibiting the formation of fibrils in the presence of physiological concentrations of calcium. Isolated NUCB1 protein variants, nucleic acids encoding the protein variants, cells comprising the isolated nucleic acids, pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising the variants, methods of making the variants, and therapeutic uses of the variants are provided.

Abstract: Color-based reaction testing of biological materials may be performed by capturing, in an uncalibrated environment, a digital image of an exposed test strip, together with an adjacently-located reference color chart or on-strip color chart. The image data specifically representing the individual test pads on the test strip, as well as the reference color blocks on the reference chart, are then located within the captured image, and compared to identify any color matches between the test pads and the corresponding sequences of reference color block. Based on this comparison operation, a set of test results can be generated which effectively identifies which of the reference chart's color blocks most closely matches the color of the corresponding dipstick's test pads. The generated test results may then be provided to the user in a printed or displayed form. Alternatively, the test results may simply be stored for later retrieval.

Abstract: Electromigration may cause a fault to appear in an integrated circuit located on a semiconductor chip. To detect such a fault, at least one resistive test structure is provided separated from the integrated circuit and located on at least one metallization level of the integrated circuit. During operation of the integrated circuit, the resistive test structure is sensed. Detection of a voltage difference between two points of the resistive test structure is indicative of a fault.

Abstract: According to a present invention embodiment, a system avoids duplicate processing of database objects to ensure operation integrity in a database system including a plurality of nodes. The system comprises a computer system including at least one processor. The computer system receives a data operation from a secondary node, executes the received data operation, and identifies each database object that is relocated based on the executed data operation. The computer system communicates to the secondary node operations performed by the computer system for execution of the data operation and an indication of each relocated database object. The secondary node stores an identifier reflecting the relocation for each relocated database object to prevent re-processing of the relocated database objects for the data operation. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for avoiding duplicate processing of database objects in substantially the same manner described above.
