Pulse Generator
Position in the system
The Pulse Generator-subsystem is directly linked to the Filter.
When the filter indicates that the input is zero (there is no desease), the system will (ideally) produce no lactonase. As soon as the output of the filter is one, the subsystem will produce a pulse of lactonase which will be high enough to 'remove' all HSL present in the system and in that way reset the timer.

Problem
The idea of a pulsgenerator as reset mechanism doesn't meet the black-box requirements for the following reasons:
- it takes too long before the proposed system generates a pulse-like event
- the pulse itself is too long
- a constant lactonase production sequence generates enough lactonase to reset the timer
Constant Lactonase Production
Position in the system
The Constant Lactonase Production-system is directly linked to the Filter.
When the filter indicates that the input is zero (there is no desease), the system will (ideally) produce no lactonase. As soon as the output of the filter is one, the system starts producing lactonase and remains doing this untill the light goes off again. In this way all the HSL-molecules that are present will be 'removed' and the timer is reset.

Simulation
Remark: up to date with latest version?
The number lactonase genes is held constant during the entire simulation. For the first 15.000 seconds the number of mRNA Ribokey is equal to 0.015 and the number of pT7 molecules to 0.4, then for 15000 s these numbers are set on 6 and 3 respectively (based on the results of the model of the filter) after which they are reduced back to 0.015 and 0.4.
We see that an increase in the number of mRNA Ribokey and pT7(due to an increase in light intensity) will lead to a much higher number of lactonase molecules.
