Abstract: An enzymatic electrochemical method for the quantification of analytes in isolated samples of biological fluids based on a dual biosensor strip electrochemical system. The sample is analyzed in parallel using first and second different biosensor test strips (blank and complete) and the results are obtained by subtracting a response obtained in the electrodes of the first biosensor test strip from a response obtained in the electrodes of the second biosensor test strip, thus eliminating the effect of interferences and isolating the signal corresponding only to the analyte determination.

Abstract: Methods, devices, media, and systems are provided for presenting an accurate signal icon to a user equipment (UE). The UE first receives network downlink measurements from a network. The UE then measures downlink metrics and uplink metrics to assess multiple factors that may affect signals, and by extension, a user's experience. The UE then calculates a UE signal experience score based on the downlink metrics and the uplink metrics. The calculated UE signal experience score is then presented on the UE. The UE display may present the UE signal experience score as a number of bars, a presentations most users are already familiar with. Alternately, the UE signal experience score may be presented as a number from 0 to 100, with a user able to select which format the UE signal experience score is displayed in.

Abstract: A method preserves privacy in an HTTP communication between a client and a server. The method includes: intercepting an HTTP request that is sent from the client to the server; extracting a cookie from the HTTP request, the cookie including a cookie name and a cookie value; splitting the cookie value into information segments according to a split pattern; and modifying one or more of the information segments based on predefined modification rules. The split pattern for the cookie value is received from a cookie format analyzer. The cookie format analyzer selects the split pattern by: generating multiple lists of data formats based on the cookie name, and selecting one of the lists as the split pattern based on similarity and frequency features associated with the data formats.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described in which a namespace is protected against misleading registration of names within the namespace. A list of canonically expressed text strings is maintained. A concordancer is defined, which concordancer may be updated from time to time as, for example, characters are added to a permitted character set for the namespace. When a first user attempts to register a proposed name within the namespace, the proposed name is subjected to an attempted match to each of the outputs of the concordancer with respect to each of the canonically expressed text strings on the list. In the event of a match, the attempted registration is not permitted to proceed. The protection may be implemented simultaneously across multiple namespaces, each having its own respective concordancer.
