    Abstract: A product quality analysis and control system is provided. The product quality analysis and control system includes a processing system that is configured to receive data of objective qualities of a product from multiple data gathering modules. Each of the multiple data gathering modules is respectively positioned at corresponding nodes of a supply chain and is configured to receive from sensors data of objective qualities of a product when the product is at each of the corresponding nodes. The processing system includes a model repository and a data evaluation module. The data evaluation module is configured to select, from the model repository, a model associated with a type of the product and to use the model to analyze the data to identify changes in the objective qualities along the supply chain.

    Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for anonymized diagnosis using lateral flow assays. In some embodiments, a test card includes one or more lateral flow assay (LFA) with one or more test patterns (e.g., full line, partial line, dot), one or more dummy patterns, and one or more control patterns. To visually encode LFA results, at manufacture, one or more lines/dots containing true results of the LFA(s) each has a position mixed with other “dummy” lines/dots, in randomized position patterns selected from among a plurality of possible position patterns. An optical machine-readable representation of data (e.g., QR code) is attached to the test card and encodes test card identification information (e.g., lot number, serial number, test type) associated with the test card. In some embodiments, a passcode card having a scrapeable coating that conceals a passcode associated with the test card is removably attached to the test card.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for fabricating micro-fluidic devices include determining a target cost function value based device design parameters. The performance of one or more chosen design candidates is simulated in a selected simulation model. A design candidate is identified with a cost function value closest to the target cost function value as a best initial design candidate. Design parameters of the best initial design candidate are iteratively modified to provide a modified design candidate having design parameters differing from the design parameters of the best initial design candidate, a cost function value is iteratively calculated for the modified initial design candidate, and optimized device design parameters are iteratively derived from a modified design candidate, until a computed cost function value for the modified design candidate meets the determined target cost function value. An optimized micro-fluidic device is fabricated using the modified design candidate and the optimized device design parameters.
