Patent EP-1517143-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TRAINOFF STEVEN P
IPC: G01N30/02
Filed: 2004-06-08
Abstract: Chromatographic separations are often characterized by multiple detectors though which the
sample flows serially. As the sample flows between detectors, it becomes progressively diluted
due to mixing and diffusion. This phenomenon is traditionally called "band broadening" and
often results in significant distortion of the calculated physical properties such as molar mass and
size. This is particularly true for the case of monodisperse samples such as proteins. A new
procedure is described whereby most types of band broadening may be corrected resulting in
more accurate calculations of such physical properties. The conventional means for correcting
band broadening effects is based upon mathematical procedures that attempt to narrow the
broadened peak to its prebroadened form. Such procedures are notoriously unstable and often
result in unphysical results such as ringing, negative concentrations, or negative scattered
intensities. This disclosure describes a method to characterize the broadening present in a
chromatographic system, and an algorithm whereby the narrow peaks of the upstream detector
are artificially broadened so that they can be compared to the broadened peaks of the
downstream detector. Although the technique results in some loss of resolution, its stability and
generality allow it a broad range of application. Examples include correction of RI detector
broadening following MALS detectors, correction of MALS broadening following UV detection,
correction of viscometric broadening following both MALS and RI detection, and all
permutations thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides an optical filter assembly that reduces the phase and
amplitude noise of a detection laser used to detect ultrasonic displacements. The filtered
detection laser is directed to the surface of a remote target. Ultrasonic displacements at the
surface scatter the filtered detection laser. Collection optics then gather phase modulated light
scattered by the surface and direct the phase modulated light to an optical processor to produce a
signal representative of the ultrasonic displacements with an improved SNR. Additional
processors may determine the structure of the remote target.

Abstract: A substrate manager for a substrate exposure machine is used, in one
example, as a platesetter. As such, it comprises a substrate
storage system, containing one or more stacks of substrates, such as
plates in one implementation. A substrate picker is provided for
picking substrates from the stack of substrates. The substrates are
then handed to a transfer system that conveys the substrates to an
imaging engine. According to the invention, a substrate inverter
system is also provided. This system inverts the substrates from
being imaging or emulsion side down to emulsion side up in the
present implementation. This allows plates, for example, which are
stored emulsion side down in cassettes to be flipped to an emulsion
side up orientation, and then transferred, using the substrate
transfer system to the imaging engine. This flipping process has
two advantages. First, the plates can be emulsion side up during
the transfer. This prevents any damage to the sensitive plate
emulsions. Moreover, the plates, now in an emulsion side up
configuration are in the right orientation for being installed on
the outside of a drum on an external drum imaging system, as is
common in many platesetters. Also, the plates are picked from the
non emulsion side. Thus the system is less sensitive to emulsion
formulation changes. A slip sheet capture mechanism is also provided
to pass slip sheets separating the plates to a storage location.
