Filter
Position in the system
The filter is positioned immediately after the input, because its job is to filter out possible noise signals or background signals that aren't caused by the "desease". It is the starting piece of the whole system, situated before the invertimer- and the reset-subsystem.

Simulations
1. AND gate of the filter
In the simulation we can clearly see this series of events:
- when dark blue(ribokey) starts to increase, red (T7) also starts to increase, giving rise to an increasing amount of lactonase (blue) = AND-GATE.
- when dark blue(ribokey) starts to decrease, red (T7) also starts to decrease, but much slower. The lactonase also starts to decrease, as it should be.
The short lifetime of the ribokey compared to the lifetime of the T7-protein, guarantees that the AND-GATE always works perfectly fine: when there's no more input, the ribokey will rapidly decrease (and disappear) and makes sure that the AND-GATE is not activated anymore, even when the T7-protein is slowly decreasing.
2. Filtering in practice
In the simulation three kinds of inputpulses have been used:
- First pulse: 300s
- small peak of lactonase
- no influence on the timer
- Second pulse: 1000s
- medium peak of lactonase
- influences the timer by levelling the timing capabilities, but it doesn't reset the timer
- Third pulse: 5000s
- huge peak of lactonase
- reset of the timer: amount of complex goes to zero
