| 20110313713 | DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY AND CALIBRATION METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH - Certain embodiments herein are directed to a differential scanning calorimeter comprising a sample holder thermally coupled to a first furnace, a reference holder thermally coupled to a second furnace, and a processor electrically coupled to the first furnace and the second furnace, the processor configured to receive data during a scan of a sample to provide a heat flow trace and further configured to subtract a calculated baseline from the heat flow trace, the calculated baseline comprising the sum of an isothermal baseline function, a scanning baseline function and a transient baseline function. Calibration methods are also described. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20110170095 | DSC-RAMEN ANALYTICAL SYSTEM AND METHOD - A combination DSC testing and Raman spectroscopy system is provided for running investigations on a single sample in the same experiment. A DSC instrument includes a set of optics, which allows an associated Raman unit to emit a pulsed laser that intermittently directs a laser signal to the sample and to collect the Raman signal while simultaneously running a DSC experiment on the same sample. The DSC has a vessel adapted to contain the sample, a thermal analysis environment is adapted to hold the vessel. An associated temperature control apparatus changes the temperature of the analysis environment between temperature endpoints to observe the sample at various transitions. The Raman spectroscopy unit is configured to generate laser pulses which stimulate emission of Raman spectra to provide further information about the sample without introducing excessive noise in the DSC aspect of the investigation. | 07-14-2011 |
