Abstract: A vacuum assisted lancing device (10) for obtaining capillary blood from body sites includes a plunger (12) mounted in a barrel or upper housing (24) that upon being pressed by a user, drives a lancet (18) to puncture skin at a body site. A vacuum member such as a diaphragm (38, 66) or bellows (66) is displaced by the plunger (12) and displaces air in the lancing device (10) to create a vacuum. The vacuum draws skin partially into the lancing device (10) causing blood to form at the puncture. The vacuum is then released and the blood is tested.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for restoring a deteriorated signal to an undeteriorated signal. A deteriorated signal consists of a plurality of deteriorated and undeteriorated data points. For each deteriorated data point, a plurality of class types is created based upon characteristics of the area containing the deteriorated data point. The data point is classified with respect to one of the plurality of class types and assigned a corresponding input signal class. The undeteriorated signal is generated by adaptively filtering the deteriorated input signal in accordance with the input signal classification result. More than one classification method is used to create the plurality of class types. Created classes may include a motion class, an error class, a spatial class or a spatial activity class. An adaptive class tap structure is used to create the plurality of class types for improvement of classification quality. The spatial class taps can be selected adaptively according to the motion and or error class. The spatial activity class taps can be selected adaptively according to the motion and or error class.

Abstract: A vaccine composition is provided for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of fish for infection by bacteria, particularly by the organism <i>Photobacterium damselae</i> subsp. <i>piscicida</i>. The composition comprises components produced by a culture of the organism. The culture is treated to kill the organism prior to use, preferably by treatment with formalin after components have been produced. Two of the components, involved in invasion of host cells and produced in high quantities when the culture is grown in medium containing excess iron, induce production of antibodies on injection into fish which prevent the entry of the organism into fish cells. These antibodies protect the fish from infection by the organism.

Abstract: A reference trimming verify circuit and method is provided for performing a program verify operation on a reference cell transistor in an array of Flash EEPROM memory cells. A reference current branch is used to generate a reference current corresponding to a predetermined overdrive voltage of the reference cell to be programmed. A drain current branch is coupled to the reference cell transistor to be programmed and generates a drain current at a fixed gate voltage applied to its control gate and at a predetermined drain voltage applied to its drain when the drain current is at the desired level. A comparator is used to compare a sensed voltage corresponding to the drain current and a reference voltage corresponding to the reference current. The comparator generates an output signal which is at a low logic level when the sensed voltage is less than the reference voltage and which is at a high logic level when the sensed voltage is greater than the reference voltage. A program pulse is applied to the reference transistor each time the comparator generates the low logic level and terminates the program pulse when the comparator generates the high logic level.
