Title: Obtaining cyclic redundancy code
Inventor: WEISSINGER STEVE H
IPC: H03M13/09
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: Cyclic redundancy codes are obtained to verify the integrity of a message transmitted between a sender and a receiver. One method for obtaining a cyclic redundancy code includes separating the message into segments. Remainders are obtained for those segments based on a generator polynomial. The remainders for those segments are multiplied by a segment-constant to obtain segment~remainders for each segment. The segment-remainders are accumulated into an accumulated-remainder. The accumulated~remainder is moduloed by the generator polynomial to obtain a remainder for the accumulated-remainder. The remainder for the accumulated-remainder is the cyclic redundancy code for the message.

Title: Electrochemical biosensor strip for analysis of liquid samples
Inventor: CHAMBERS GEOFFREY R
IPC: G01N27/416
Filed: 2003-01-21
Abstract: A biosensor in the form of a strip. In one embodiment, the biosensor strip comprises an electrode support, a first electrode, i. e., a working electrode, a second electrode, i.e., a counter electrode, and a third electrode, i.e., a reference electrode. Each of the electrodes is disposed on and supported by the electrode support. Each of the electrodes is spaced apart from the other two electrodes. The biosensor strip can include a covering layer, which defines an enclosed space over the electrodes. This enclosed space includes a zone where an analyte in the sample reacts with reagent(s) deposited at the working electrode. This zone is referred to as the reaction zone. The covering layer has an aperture for receiving a sample for introduction into the reaction zone. The biosensor strip can also include at least one layer of mesh interposed in the enclosed space between the covering layer and the electrodes in the reaction zone. This layer of mesh facilitates transporting of the sample to the electrodes in the reaction zone. In another embodiment, a biosensor strip can be constructed to provide a configuration that will allow the sample to be introduced to the reaction zone by action of capillary force.  In this embodiment, the layer of mesh can be omitted. The invention also provides a method for determining the concentration of glucose in a sample of whole blood by using the biosensor of this invention.
