US Patent:
4980544, Dec 25, 1990
Filed:
Feb 22, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/492231
Inventors:
Gary E. Winter - Hanover Park IL
Assignee:
Abbott Laboratories - Abbott Park IL
International Classification:
G06K 700
US Classification:
235436
Abstract:
An optical code reader system includes an optical code reader and a corresponding optical code format. The code reader includes a detector circuit for establishing an adaptive threshold level related to the difference in successive positive and negative peaks of the analog signal corresponding to white and black areas of the code. The code format comprises a plurality of alternating encoded black and white areas bounded by white quiet zones and black preset areas associated with the quiet zones for presetting the threshold value of the detector circuit to a known level before the code is read.

International Classification:
G01N 3353
G01N 33538
G01N 33546
G01N 3500
US Classification:
435 792
Abstract:
A method for verifying that an assay methodology is properly performed, that assay reagents employed possess the necessary potency for accurately performing such assay methodology, and whether or not test samples or assay reagents have been tampered with or are adulterated, is described. The method is performed by employing an assay verification sample, comprising a positive analyte component and the test sample under analysis, wherein the assay verification sample is analyzed employing the same assay reagents and essentially the same assay methodology employed to analyze the test sample. The method is particularly useful for performing heterogeneous immunoassays on an automated continuous and random access analytical system.

Method And Apparatus For Reducing Non-Linear Characteristics Of A Signal Modulator By Coherent Data Collection

US Patent:
6426822, Jul 30, 2002

Appl. No.:
09/104916
Inventors:
Gary Edwin Winter - Carlsbad CA
Thomas Edward Cooney - Carlsbad CA
Assignee:
IPICOM, Inc. - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
H04B 1004
US Classification:
359187, 359161, 359180, 359181, 359245, 375295, 375355, 455114, 455126, 455127
Abstract:
A pilot signal is generated and injected into the input ( ) of a signal modulator ( ). The harmonic signal of a pilot signal produced at the output ( ) and due to the non-linear transfer function of the signal modulator ( ) is coherently sampled in the time domain to produce a plurality of digital samples. The digital samples are averaged to produce an average harmonic signal value. The bias voltage at which the signal modulator ( ) is biased is adjusted to minimize the magnitude of the average harmonic signal value.

International Classification:
B01L 300
US Classification:
422102
Abstract:
A sample container segment assembly for use in an automated, continuous, and random access analytical system is disclosed. The assembly includes a sample container which is received by a sample container segment, and the sample container segment is received on a carousel of the automated analytical instrument. The test sample container includes an upper skirt and a body having a reservoir for receipt of the test sample. The segment includes a base, a frame, and a handle. The frame has a shelf for which the upper skirt of the test sample container rests on, and has openings for receipt of the body of the sample container. The carousel has a carousel trough for receipt of the base of the sample container segment, and has a plurality of alignment pins disposed in the carousel trough. The base of the sample container segment has a circular slot and an elongated slot for receiving the alignment pins and positioning the sample container segment relative to the carousel. The sample container segment can include a liquid level sensing sleeve which is made of a conductive material and surrounds the reservoir of the test sample container inserted therein.

Method And Apparatus For Reducing Non-Linear Characteristics Of A Signal Modulator By Cross-Correlation

US Patent:
6014241, Jan 11, 2000
Filed:
Jun 25, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/104639
Inventors:
Gary Edwin Winter - Carlsbad CA
Thomas Edward Cooney - Carlsbad CA
Assignee:
Tacan Corporation - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
G02F 100
US Classification:
359245
Abstract:
A pilot signal is generated and injected into the input (108) of a signal modulator (104). The harmonic signal of a pilot signal produced at the output (110) and due to the non-linear transfer function of the signal modulator (104) is coherently sampled in the time domain to produce a plurality of digital samples defining a digital sample signal. The digital sample signal is cross-correlated with a reference signal having a phase based on the pilot signal to produce a cross-correlation signal. The bias voltage at which the signal modulator (104) is biased is adjusted to minimize the difference between the phase of the correlation signal and an optimum phase value corresponding to a linear mode of operation of the signal modulator 104.

Assignee:
Abbott Laboratories - Abbott Park IL
International Classification:
G01N 3510
B65D 5104
US Classification:
436 54
Abstract:
The present invention is a method for opening and closing a cap pivotally mounted on a container for storing reagents for use in an automated analytical instrument. The cap has one end for sealing the container and a tab extending from the other end for pivoting the cap. The method comprises the steps of positioning a closed container adjacent an actuating device mounted on the analytical system. The method further comprises the steps of projecting the actuating device against the top of the tab to pivotally open the cap to a position sufficiently vertical for aspirating reagent from the container, and retracting the actuating device from the cap to a position above the pivotal mounting thereof. The method comprises the final step of causing relative motion between the cap and the actuating device so that the actuating device drags along the top of the cap pivotally closing the cap to provide a sufficient seal on the container preventing evaporation of the reagent therefrom.
