Abstract: The present invention relates to sample analysis cartridges comprising micro-environment sensors and methods for assaying coagulation in a fluid sample applied to the micro-environment sensors, and in particular, to performing coagulation assays using micro-environment sensors in a point of care sample analysis cartridge. For example, the present invention may be directed to a sample analysis cartridge including an inlet chamber configured to receive a biological sample, and a conduit fluidically connected to the inlet chamber and configured to receive the biological sample from the inlet chamber. The conduit may include a micro-environment prothrombin time (PT) sensor, and a micro-environment activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to analytical testing devices including micro-environment sensors and methods for assaying coagulation in a fluid sample applied to the micro-environment sensors, and in particular, performing one or more types of coagulation assays using one or more micro-environment sensors in a single point of care combined test cartridge. For example, the present invention may be directed to test sensor including at least one transducer coated with a polymer layer. The polymer layer comprises a thrombin-cleavable peptide with a detectable moiety.

Abstract: A system having a microfluidic channel structure in which fluids are able to interact to produce at least one product, and an automated closed-loop control mechanism to autonomously control a condition in, or of, the channel structure, the control mechanism having a sensor adapted to produce a sensor signal representative of a predetermined property of the at least one product which is dependent on the condition in, or of, the channel structure, means adapted to vary the condition in, or of, the channel structure, and a computer which is adapted to receive the sensor signal and to cause the means to vary the condition in, or of, the channel structure in dependence of the sensor signal is disclosed.

Abstract: A method and a system for tracing components 202 in computer applications 203 are provided. A trace point has a unique identifier and a bit pattern. The level of filtering of trace points is carried out by providing filtering means 303, 402 using the bit pattern and including means for carrying out an inclusive test 403 to determine if a trace point is to be logged and means for carrying out an exclusive test 404 to determine if a trace point is not to be logged. The unique identifier references text commentary 701 relating to the trace point which is written into the original source code and catalogued at compilation for retrieval when a trace point is traced. The method and system allow a single trace system to trace data from both native and non-native applications.

Abstract: Automated mapping of part numbers associated with parts in a bill of materials (BOM) submitted by a BOM originator to internal part numbers assigned to those parts by a BOM receiver is performed by one or more computers connected to one or more networks through one or more network interfaces. A first receive component receives one or more data sets containing historical data on bills of materials received in the past by the BOM receiver. A second receive component receives one or more data sets containing known mappings between internal part numbers used by the BOM receiver, and part numbers used by various BOM originators. A third receive component receives one or more data sets containing information of various parameters and their values describing the parts to which the BOM receiver has assigned internal part numbers.
