Apparatus and methods for performing calorimetry. The apparatus include optical devices for detecting thermal processes and multiwell sample plates for supporting samples for use with such optical devices. The methods include measurement strategies and data processing techniques for reducing noise in measurements of thermal processes. The apparatus and methods may be particularly suitable for extracting thermal data from small differential measurements made using an infrared camera and for monitoring chemical and physiological processes.

A high speed system for locating and decoding glyphs on documents is disclosed. The system includes acquiring one or more images of a document containing a glyph. One-dimensional projections of the images are correlated against a reference function to locate the glyph in the images. The position of the glyph is refined by correlating against a kernel designed to have a maximum response when aligned over a corner of the glyph. Symbols in the glyph are decoded utilizing a kernel which generates a positive response for one symbol type and a negative response for the other.
