Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small rheometer or the like capable of taking reliable measurements of a plurality of small quantities of samples in a short time. SOLUTION: The small rheometer includes a first substrate 100 and a second substrate 102 which form a pair of substrates each having a predetermined shape for retaining between the substrates a sample having a volume of not more than 200 μL, and an adjustment device for adjusting the interval between the substrates. The small rheometer causes shear strains within the sample by actuating the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 102 on a predetermined microscopic scale by means of a driving element 104 mechanically coupled to the first substrate 100. The small rheometer further includes a detection element outputting a position signal indicative of the displacement of at least one of the first and second substrates 100 and 102, and a feedback circuit which provides, based on the position signal, dynamic re-equilibrium about the force applied to the sample by the operation of the first and second substrates 100 and 102 on the microscopic scale.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multipurpose apparatus for screening a combination library with high throughput. SOLUTION: The apparatus comprises a sample holder for holding the components of a library, a probe array for perturbing an independent library component mechanically, and a sensor array for measuring response to mechanical perturbation of each library component. During screening operation, the apparatus replaces the sample array (sample holder) and the probe array and perturbs an independent library component mechanically. A material sample is screened based on a large number of different bulk physical properties including Young's modulus (bending, uniaxial drawing, biaxial drawing, shearing), hardness (indentation), fracture (stress and strain at the time of fracture, toughness) adhesion (tackiness, loop tackiness), flow (viscosity, melt flow index, rheology), and the like.

Abstract: This invention discloses methods, materials, and devices for making and screening combinatorial libraries to identify semi-conducting and thermoelectric materials. The disclosed method includes preparing a combinatorial library of materials, and identifying library members that are semiconductors. The method may include determining a thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, for each member of a second combinatorial library of materials. The method determines ZT by applying an oscillatory voltage across the library members, measuring power dissipated by library members, and calculating ZT from the power dissipated. The method may also include isolating single-phase materials of the semiconducting library members. The present invention also discloses an apparatus for discovering thermoelectric materials using combinatorial techniques. The apparatus includes a first combinatorial library of materials comprised of thin films arrayed on a substrate, and a device for identifying semiconducting members of the first combinatorial library. In addition, the apparatus may include a device for measuring ZTnulla voltage source for applying an oscillatory electrical potential across members of a second combinatorial library arrayed on a substrate, and a device for measuring the resulting power dissipated by library members. The apparatus may also include a device for isolating single-phase materials of library members that were identified as semiconductors.

Abstract: A liquid chromatography column distributor spreads liquid over the internal cross sectional area of the column to facilitate separation of the liquid in the column into its constituent components for analysis, particularly where the volume of liquid is small and the rate of flow through the column is high. The distributor is useful for small volumes, less than 100 micro liters. The distribution is preferably done in two or more stages by two or more plates arranged in series. This arrangement keeps the flow paths short and volumes of channels in the plate carrying the liquid small. The distributor may be used in a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in which liquid flows at high rates through the column. The distributor is constructed to protect the liquid sample from damage.
