Technologies for increasing sample throughput by predicting the end point response time of a sensor for the analysis of an analyte in a sample are disclosed. In one embodiment, the hitting face is made from multiple materials. The mold body may include an injection hole for injecting sealant into the mold cavity, and a vent hole for venting air and sealant from the mold cavity. A controller is communicatively coupled to the receiver, a memory and output device. The optical recording medium has a recording layer with a structure of lands and grooves, which generates a strong push-pull signal in an area of the recording layer without recorded marks and a small push-pull signal in an area of the recording layer with recorded marks. To effect the attributes of the switching fabric, conditionally nonblocking components are used a building-blocks in an interconnection network which is recursively constructed.
