Quasi-symmetric designs can be used to construct optimal self complementary codes. In this article we give a construction of an infinite family of pseudo quasi-3 designs whose residual designs allow us to construct a family of codes with a new parameter set that meet the Grey Rankin bound.9 pages, submitted to the European Journal of ComniatoricsCombinatoricsInformation TheoryPseudo Quasi-3 Designs and their Applications to Coding Theorytext
