| 20110208438 | SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY TESTING A FLUID SPECIMEN - A system for automatically testing a fluid specimen, e.g., urine, to indicate the presence of specified chemical components in the specimen. The system preferably utilizes an assaying device comprised of a collection cup and a cap which carries at least one test strip. The device includes an integrated aliquot delivery mechanism actuatable to wet the test strip with an aliquot delivered from the fluid specimen. The assaying device is configured to operate in conjunction with an electronic reader device capable of actuating the aliquot delivery mechanism and reading the reaction of the test strip. A preferred reader device defines a keyed receptacle for accommodating a complementary shaped cup housing in a particular orientation. The reader device is comprised of a camera for capturing the image of a test strip, an actuator for actuating an aliquot delivery mechanism, and a microprocessor/controller for (1) controlling the camera and actuator and (2) processing the image. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20080258981 | Antennas, Devices and Systems Based on Metamaterial Structures - Techniques, apparatus and systems that use one or more composite left and right handed (CRLH) metamaterial structures in processing and handling electromagnetic wave signals. Antenna, antenna arrays and other RF devices can be formed based on CRLH metamaterial structures. The described CRLH metamaterial structures can be used in wireless communication RF front-end and antenna sub-systems. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20100301898 | FPGA HAVING LOW POWER, FAST CARRY CHAIN - FPGA carry chain that does not exhibit significant leakage current. In particular, the carry chain can be switched on/off when desired. In this manner, carry chains can have their leakage currents substantially disabled when they are not in use, thus saving power. Additionally, a carry chain whose logic is separate from the logic blocks that perform the remaining arithmetic functions, and whose inputs are the input data to be added, rather than data from the logic blocks. Such a configuration reduces latency by allowing the carry chain to operate directly on the input data without need to wait on results from the logic blocks. | 12-02-2010 |
