Application 10/699,508
1 The Kolosov invention can be used to analyze the resulting properties
2 of a particular flowable sample material or the relative or comparative
3 effects that an additive has upon a particular flowable sample material, e.g.,
4 the effect of a detergent, a flow modifier, or the like. Kolosov, para. [0043].
5 Properties that may be measured include viscosity, density, thermal
6 degradation, aging characteristics, relative or absolute component
7 concentration, chemical composition, presence and amounts of other low-
8 molecular weight impurities in samples, and agglomeration or assemblage of
9 molecules. Kolosov, para. [0065].
10 A plurality of samples may be employed in the disclosed method.
11 Kolosov, para. [0056].
12 The plurality of samples can be a library of samples. Kolosov, para.
13 [0057].
14 The library of samples can comprise product mixtures that are varied
15 with respect to additives. Kolosov, para. [0061].
16 In one embodiment of the invention, an array of materials is screened
17 for viscosity. Kolosov, para. [0029].
18 It is contemplated that a parameter, e.g., a parameter that relates to a
19 rheological property, of a sample is measured at a first time followed by
20 measuring the parameter at a second time and so on during a predetermined
21 period of time. Kolosov, para. [0096].
22 Figure 1 illustrates a system 10 for measuring or determining material
23 properties such as viscosity of a combinatorial library of material samples.
24 Kolosov, para. [0067].
