Application 10/699,507
1 The plurality of samples can be a library of samples. Kolosov, para.
2 [0057].
3 The library of samples can comprise product mixtures that are varied
4 with respect to additives. Kolosov, para. [0061].
5 In one embodiment of the invention, an array of materials is screened
6 for viscosity. Kolosov, para. [0029].
7 It is contemplated that a parameter, e.g., a parameter that relates to a
8 rheological property, of a sample is measured at a first time followed by
9 measuring the parameter at a second time and so on during a predetermined
10 period of time. Kolosov, para. [0096].
11 Figure 1 illustrates a system 10 for measuring or determining material
12 properties, such as viscosity, of a combinatorial library of material samples.
13 Kolosov, para. [0067].
14 The system 10 includes a stimulus generator 12 that applies power to
15 a probe 14 for applying a stimulus to one or more samples in an array or
16 library of samples. Kolosov, para. [0067].
17 The system 10 also includes a sensor or transducer 20 for monitoring
18 a response of the one or more samples to the stimulus. Kolosov, para.
19 [0067].
20 Typically, the transducer 20, the stimulus generator 12, or both are in
21 communication with a computer sub-system 23, such as a microprocessor or
22 other like computer for manipulating data. For example, the computer sub-
23 system 23 may be employed to receive and store data such as responses of
24 samples, material properties of samples, or the like. Kolosov, para. [0068].
