Biological sample collection kits are devised with physical features to enable a high performance collection system which delivers preprocessed biological matter via conventional shipping means to a testing laboratories. In particular, untrained and unskilled users deposit biological matter such as saliva or blood into a receiving vessel. By sealing the container, the user causes release of a premixed solution containing preservatives and optionally lysis reagents. In addition, a purification agent is arranged to bind to target molecules and facilitate their removal from solution. These time consuming processes occur while the sample is in transit to the testing facility such that when it arrives, it is in a preconditioned state immediately ready for execution of washing steps. Thus, the high performance containers taught herein are useful for collection biological samples and performing initial process steps on received matter—steps which are largely effected during the shipping stage of the transfer process.

Dual mode genetics testing systems are devised about a single element testing platform. A microfluidic network and system of interconnected receiving cells and reaction vessels supports at the same time genotyping and copy number analysis where the platform may be subject to a common thermal cycle schedule to cause the proper reactions (DNA replication) necessary in both test types. Further, the microfluidic platform which includes reaction vessels for genotyping which are spatially removed from reaction vessels for copy number analysis, is coupled to optical scanner and detection systems specifically arranged to apply test specific detection routines on each of these distinct regions or portions of the dual mode test platform.

A communications system comprises a carrier recovery module that determines a carrier frequency offset of an input signal. A rotator module rotates the input signal to minimize the carrier frequency offset and generates a compensated signal. A correlator module correlates the compensated signal with a unique word to obtain a timing correction. An equalizer module equalizes the compensated signal based on the timing correction and generates an equalized signal.

An encoding and error correction system and method employs an AMR codec by stripping header data from a plurality of legacy system frames having header and traffic channel (TCH) data blocks. Speech data is then encoded using the AMR to create bits for a data block substantially the same as contained in the plurality of frames. The stripped header data is encoded as a long frame header using a fixed convolution coder. The speech data is then convolutionally encoded and the long frame header and encoded speech data are combined as a long frame. The long frame is then deconstructed into a plurality of equal segments and the segments are transmitted as TCH data in the legacy system frame format.

A delay buffer includes a first shift register receiving input data and having a shift signal input port. The first shift register right shifts the input data responsive to a shift signal on the shift signal input port. The shift signal is determined based on an effective bit width of the input data. A first delay line receives the shifted data from the first shift register while a second delay line of equal length to the first delay line receives the shift signal. A second shift register receives the output from the first delay line and receives the output of the second delay line on a shift signal input port. The second shift register then left shifts the data contained therein according to the shift signal.

A CORDIC angle calculator for a baseband IC receiver incorporates a CORDIC algorithm calculating processor with an input scaling means receiving input data, scaling the input data and providing it to the CORDIC processor. An output scaling means receives output data from the CORDIC processor and rescales the output data to provide a calculated angle. In an exemplary embodiment, the input scaling means includes means for shifting the input data for bit reduction and providing a shift signal corresponding to the input data shift and wherein the output scaling means is responsive to the shift signal.
