            1          According to the method disclosed in Tolvanen, light is directed onto                     
            2   the oil product surface and onto the oil layer under the surface whereby the                     
            3   intensity of light scattered from the oil product surface and from inside the                    
            4   oil product will indicate the content of particles in the oil.  Tolvanen at 3:20-                
            5   24.                                                                                              
            6          An analyzer functioning with the method can be fully automated for                        
            7   sampling and result computing.  Tolvanen at 2:33-35.

            9          Garr discloses a method for producing a large chemical library of                         
           10   purified products from a chemical library of raw reaction products.  Garr at                     
           11   1:7-15.                                                                                          
           12          In accordance with the invention, reaction tubes, each containing a                       
           13   reaction product, are arranged in an array.  Each reaction tube and product is                   
           14   identified by a unique code, such as a bar code, which is optically readable.                    
           15   Garr at 4:3-9.                                                                                   
           16          The code is stored in the memory of a digital signal processor on a                       
           17   database.  Garr at 4:9-10.                                                                       
           18          The code is used to relate each pure chemical compound to the                             
           19   original reaction product from which it is derived.  Garr at 3:26-32.                            
           20                6.     Smrcka                                                                       
           21          Smrcka discloses a system and method for new product development,                         
           22   especially for new or customized chemical products.  Smrcka, para. [0004].                       
           23          The method includes testing the product and storing details and results                   
           24   of the testing in a computer readable database.  Smrcka, para. [0011].
