	System for tracking secure medical test cards - Patent 5612870
		Each of the test cards received at the test lab is known to the central monitoring system only by one of the unique PINs from the first set of unique PINs, and the identities of patients associated with the test cards received at the test lab are anonymous to the central monitoring system.
		Prior to mailing the test card to the laboratory, each client 160 maintains a copy of the PIN that was affixed to his or her test card.
		Test card 300 is intended to be used as a simple means for a client 150 to apply his or her blood sample to the card (in zones 330a, 330b, 330c), detach the identification portion (300b) of the card, and return the test portion (300a) of the card to testing laboratory 160 for evaluation.

		Everything about the "blink" card is the same as a traditional credit card except that the new cards don't have to be swiped through a machine, so it shaves a few seconds off of a transaction.
		When a customer brings his credit card within a couple of inches of the terminal, it lights up and beeps, and the transaction is instantly captured.

		The one kind of image this set lacks is plain, simple, poster-quality images such as are favored in commercial advertising, business presentations, cartoons, and even certain styles of cinematography.
		As a result, this test set is skewed toward high detail, and has acquired a reputation of being unusually tough to compress.
		The thumbnails were created by reducing the original images using Adobe Photoshop's bicubic interpolation and converting to indexed color mode using a selective palette of 256 colors.

	Digital Spy Forums - Test Cards these days are not suitable for the digital age
		A lot of DTT channels seem to be tested merely by displaying a blank screen (the original Freeview tests had a fl screen with the feed ID on it), and then connecting up to an advertising loop or slide some come straight online with an already-broadcasting channel.
		This is the semi-famous windmills test loop that was last seen when 701 and 702 started up on mux A. Given that the BBC intended to use these streams for sport, this loop was presumably used to check the quality would be acceptable for such a high bandwidth application.
		As for a moving test card for the digital age, one exists.

		Note: because of the extremely high reflectivity of some of the test prints, they are very difficult to scan and come out looking much darker in the scan than they would appear in person.

		NOTE that this image cannot be directly compared to the other "house" shot, which is a poster, shot in the studio.
		Tonal range in this test was very good, particularly in the shadows: Comparing the C-2500L's version of this shot to others we've taken with other 2 megapixel cameras, we found significantly more shadow detail in the fl chunks of charcoal in the image from the '2500.
		We don't have any formal tests to show it, but we entertained ourselves by taking strobe pictures of a neighbor's yard about a hundred feet away in pitch flness, with the camera set to ISO 400, and both flash units working together.

		The BBC and ITV have over the years used a number of tuning signals, test cards and captions either for engineering purposes, or just to fill time in the days before breakfast and daytime TV.
		Used from the beginning of the BBC until the early seventies, the tuning signal was primarily for viewers to warm up their television sets and adjust the numerous controls until they could see an acceptable picture.
		The images and patterns were for use by "lay-people" and were not designed to test equipment in any scientific way.
