METHODS AND ASSEMBLIES FOR DETERMINING AND USING STANDARDIZED SPECTRAL RESPONSES FOR CALIBRATION OF SPECTROSCOPIC ANALYZERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011898 titled 'METHODS AND ASSEMBLIES FOR DETERMINING AND USING STANDARDIZED SPECTRAL RESPONSES FOR CALIBRATION OF SPECTROSCOPIC ANALYZERS

Simplified Explanation

Methods and assemblies are described for calibrating spectroscopic analyzers using standardized spectral responses. These methods and assemblies can be used to calibrate or recalibrate a spectroscopic analyzer when it transitions from one state to another. The calibration or recalibration process results in the spectroscopic analyzer outputting a standardized spectrum, which corrects the material spectrum for an analyzed material. The standardized spectrum includes signals that indicate the material properties of the analyzed material, which are consistent with the material properties output by the spectroscopic analyzer in its initial state.

  • The patent/application describes methods and assemblies for calibrating spectroscopic analyzers.
  • These methods and assemblies are used to calibrate or recalibrate the analyzer when it changes from one state to another.
  • The calibration or recalibration process results in the analyzer outputting a standardized spectrum.
  • The standardized spectrum corrects the material spectrum for an analyzed material.
  • The corrected material spectrum includes signals indicative of the material properties of the analyzed material.
  • The material properties of the analyzed material are substantially consistent with the material properties output by the analyzer in its initial state.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Calibration of spectroscopic analyzers in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, environmental monitoring, and materials science.
  • Quality control and assurance in manufacturing processes where accurate material analysis is crucial.
  • Research and development in fields that require precise material characterization, such as chemistry and biology.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures accurate and consistent calibration of spectroscopic analyzers, even when transitioning between different states.
  • Provides a standardized spectrum that corrects for any changes or variations in the analyzer's performance.
  • Enables reliable and precise material analysis by maintaining consistency in the material properties output by the analyzer.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and reliability of spectroscopic analysis results.
  • Reduced need for manual calibration or recalibration of analyzers, saving time and resources.
  • Enhanced quality control in manufacturing processes, leading to improved product quality.
  • Facilitates research and development by providing consistent and reliable material characterization data.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods and assemblies may be used for determining and using standardized spectral responses for calibration of spectroscopic analyzers. the methods and assemblies may be used to calibrate or recalibrate a spectroscopic analyzer when the spectroscopic analyzer changes from a first state to a second state, the second state being defined as a period of time after a change to the spectroscopic analyzer causing a need to calibrate or recalibrate the spectroscopic analyzer. the calibration or recalibration may result in the spectroscopic analyzer outputting a standardized spectrum, such that the spectroscopic analyzer outputs a corrected material spectrum for an analyzed material, and defining the standardized spectrum. the corrected material spectrum may include signals indicative of material properties of an analyzed material, the material properties of the material being substantially consistent with material properties of the material output by the spectroscopic analyzer in the first state.
