20090095623 | Identification Method for Electrochemical Test Strips - The present invention provides a method and apparatus for creating test strips that may be identified based on differences in electrical conduction or resistance between contact point on the test strip. This is achieved by creating a base test strip with contact points that may be connected to other contact points by an electrical connection. These base test strips may be modified to create a difference in electrical conductivity between contact points, or a contact point may be eliminated. This modification can be used to distinguish different types of test strips based on electrical signature. Additionally, the base test strip may be created such that multiple modifications are possible to distinguish numerous characteristics of test strips. | 04-16-2009 |
20100126881 | Method for Determination of Analyte Concentrations and Related Apparatus - A method is provided for determining analyte concentrations, for example glucose concentrations, that utilizes a dynamic determination of the appropriate time for making a glucose measurement, for example when a current versus time curve substantially conforms to a Cottrell decay, or when the current is established in a plateau region.

The first permanent magnet, second permanent magnet and the substrate are arranged to provide two stable positions for the cantilever. An electromagnet provides a temporary switching magnetic field to adjust the local magnetizations across the magnetic cantilever, causing changes of magnetic forces and torques on the cantilever. As a result, the direction of a sum of torque on the cantilever is reversed. Therefore, the cantilever is switched from one stable position to the other. | 03-17-2011 |
20120242435 | Micro-magnetic proximity sensor and method of operating same - A micro-machined magnetic relay has a moveable cantilever comprising a soft magnetic material and having a first end and a second end. The cantilever has a rotational axis which is a flexure supported by a substrate. The cantilever has a first state and a second state. A first permanent magnet is disposed near the first end of the cantilever to force the cantilever in the first state. A second movable magnet causes changes of magnetic forces and torques on the cantilever. Therefore, the direction of a sum of torque on the cantilever is reversed. As a result, the cantilever flips from the first state to the second state. The relay can be used as a proximity sensor to detect the motion of an object associated with the second movable magnet. | 09-27-2012 |

20100145900 | SPAM FILTERING BASED ON STATISTICS AND TOKEN FREQUENCY MODELING - Embodiments are directed towards classifying messages as spam using a two phased approach. The first phase employs a statistical classifier to classify messages based on message content. The second phase targets specific message types to capture dynamic characteristics of the messages and identify spam messages using a token frequency based approach. A client component receives messages and sends them to the statistical classifier, which determines a probability that a message belongs to a particular type of class. The statistical classifier further provides other information about a message, including, a token list, and token thresholds. The message class, token list, and thresholds are provided to the second phase where a number of spam tokens in a given message for a given message class are determined. Based on the threshold, the client component then determines whether the message is spam or non-spam. | 06-10-2010 |
