  • Patent number: 7063774
    Abstract: A biosensor is provided that comprises a substrate, a sample site positioned on the substrate, a cover coupled to the substrate, and biocide positioned between the substrate and the cover. The biosensor may also include desiccant. The cover is operative to selectively block access to the sample site. The cover includes a fixed end coupled to the substrate, an opposite free end, and a middle portion extending across the sample site.

  • Publication number: 20050278674
    Abstract: A structure for a system of chip packages includes a master substrate and at least one subset substrate of the master substrate. The subset substrate includes a portion of the master substrate that has an identical pin out pattern as the portion of the master substrate. The subset substrate has identical internal net lists as the portion of the master substrate. The subset substrate is adapted to accommodate a smaller chip than the master substrate. The master substrate is the largest substrate in the system. The invention also prepares a system of chip packages. The invention selects a master substrate and then selects a subset substrate of the master substrate.

  • Publication number: 20050103624
    Abstract: An electrochemical biosensor with electrode elements that possess smooth, high-quality edges. These smooth edges define gaps between electrodes, electrode traces and contact pads. Due to the remarkable edge smoothness achieved with the present invention, the gaps can be quite small, which provides marked advantages in terms of test accuracy, speed and the number of different functionalities that can be packed into a single biosensor. Further, the present invention provides a novel biosensor production method in which entire electrode patterns for the inventive biosensors can be formed all at one, in nanoseconds—without regard to the complexity of the electrode patterns or the amount of conductive material that must be ablated to form them.

  • Publication number: 20050055660
    Abstract: A method, system and program product implementing storage of a (power or ground) mesh plane file using a multiple line shape, possibly with the storage of lines also, to reduce file size. In addition, the invention implements an activate-substantial-portion-and-remove technique to generate mesh planes rather than the conventional additive approach, which improves the speed of designing the IC carriers. A resulting mesh plane design file may be as much as half the size of a file generated using the conventional line-by-line and storage approaches.

  • Publication number: 20050023152
    Abstract: A system for testing for analytes in a sample of biological fluid includes a test strip that defines a cavity for receiving the sample. At least two sets of electrodes are adjacent the sample cavity, including one for measuring one property of the sample, and another for measuring one or more other properties of the sample, such as temperature and/or the presence or magnitude of confounding variables. The measurements are combined to yield the desired result. At least one set of working and counter electrodes each have a plurality of elongated “fingers” interdigitated with those of the other electrode in the set. The gaps between fingers can be quite small, so that the two electrode sets together can operate in a small measurement volume of sample. Additional electrodes can be included that measure the presence or sufficiency of the sample, and additional traces on the strip can act as configuration identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20050023137
    Abstract: A biosensor having multiple electrical functionalities located both within and outside of the measurement zone in which a fluid sample is interrogated. Incredibly small and complex electrical patterns with high quality edges provide electrical functionalities in the biosensor and also provide the electrical wiring for the various other electrical devices provided in the inventive biosensor. In addition to a measurement zone with multiple and various electrical functionalities, biosensors of the present invention may be provided with a user interface zone, a digital device zone and/or a power generation zone. The inventive biosensors offer improved ease of use and performance, and decrease the computational burden and associated cost of the instruments that read the biosensors by adding accurate yet cost-effective functionalities to the biosensors themselves.
