Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus for high resolution analysis." This invention relates to analytical methods for determining the composition of a material that undergoes a transition as a function of a driving variable. The first preferred embodiment of this invention includes several steps: decreasing the heating rate when deviations from a baseline signal are detected, establishing a minimum heating rate, forcing the heating rate to a predetermined maximum whenever the rate of change of the weight change with respect to the temperature falls below a predetermined value, and adjusting the heating rate according to the rate of change of the weight of the sample to track a predetermined rate of change of the weight of the sample. The second preferred embodiment allows for the selection of either a high-productivity or a high-resolution mode, controlling the rate of temperature increase according to a function containing an exponential term.
