Patent ID: 8128981

Claim:
A method of manufacturing test strips, comprising: forming a reel containing a conductive layer and a base layer; forming a first conductive component, wherein the first conductive component includes at least one first boundary formed by the movement of a first processing source along the at least one first boundary and at least one second boundary formed by the movement of a second processing source along the at least one second boundary, the second processing source is not the same as the first processing source, and the at least one first boundary is not the same as the at least one second boundary; forming a second conductive component, wherein the second conductive component includes at least one third boundary formed by the movement of the first processing source along the at least one third boundary and at least one fourth boundary formed by a third processing source not the same as the first processing source, and the at least one third boundary is not the same as the at least one fourth boundary; and forming a third conductive component, wherein the third conductive component includes at least one fifth boundary formed by the movement of the second processing source along the at least one fifth boundary and at least one sixth boundary formed by the third processing source not the same as the second processing source, and the at least one fifth boundary is not the same as the at least one sixth boundary.
