Patent CA-2436150-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAITO YOSHIAKI
IPC: G06F7/58
Filed: 2003-07-29
Abstract: During the rise time from oscillation start to steady oscillation, an electronic signal is oscillated from an oscillating means and input into an A/D converter. Then, the electronic signal is converted into digital voltage components on the magnitude of the amplitude thereof. The digital voltage components are input in a personal computer which defines a threshold level for the digital voltage components. In the personal computer, the magnitude relation between the threshold level and the digital voltage components is judged, and numeral "0" or "1" is allotted to the digital voltage components on the magnitude relation, thereby to generate a binary random number.

Title: Fxiii detection for verifying serum sample and sample size and for detecting dilution
Inventor: SAFARIAN ZARA
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2002-05-28
Abstract: Analyses of serum samples for the presence and amount of either of the two subunits of human Factor XIII protein are used as a means of eliminating a significant source of error that arises in the testing of serum and plasma.  For serum samples, a negative result of an analysis for the presence of subunit a is a means of verifying that a sample is indeed serum, while a negative or positive result for subunit a serves to distinguish serum (negative) from plasma (positive). A positive result for the presence of subunit b is a means of verifying that the sample is either serum or plasma and not any other biological fluid. A quantitative analysis of subunit b is a means of verifying that the sample is of the intended volume rather than having been reduced in volume due to improper sampling. A quantitative analysis of subunit b is also a means of verifying the dilution of a sample of either serum or plasma.
