Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for generating a library design for a combinatorial library of materials, a combinatorial library being a collection of two or more members that contain some variance in chemical composition, chemical amount, reaction conditions, and/or processing conditions, a member being a single position in a library, the method comprising: defining a set of one or more sources and one or more destinations, each source being electronic data representing a component to be used in preparing the combinatorial library and each destination being electronic data representing a conceptual arrangement of cells representing a combinatorial library, the cells corresponding to members of the combinatorial library and/or locations on a physical substrate; defining one or more mappings, the mappings in the aggregate defining a composition for each of a plurality of materials assigned to a plurality of cells in the arrangement; defining one or more parameters, each parameter being electronic data being electronic data corresponding to a process condition to be applied to one or more cells of the arrangement representing the combinatorial library; defining one or more parameter values for each of the parameters, the parameter values representing an amount of the corresponding process condition to be applied to one or more of the cells of the arrangement; and generating a data file defining the library design, the data file comprising electronic data describing the source elements, the destination elements, the mappings, the parameters and the parameter values.
Abstract:
Computer-implemented methods, programs and apparatus for generating a librar y design for a combinatorial library of materials. A library design includes a set of sources representing components to be used in preparing the combinatorial library, destinations representing arrangements of cells and mappings, defining one or more distribution patter ns for assigning components to cells in the destination arrangement or arrangements. Mappings include gradients and sets of user- defined equations, and are used to calculate the amount of one or more components to be assigned to a cell or cells in an arrangement. A library design can also include one or more process parameters defined to vary over time or across a plurality of destination cells. The invention outputs a data file defining the library design, including electronic data representing the sources, the destinations and the mapping, in a format suitable for implementing manually or using automated material handling apparatus.

Abstract:
Computer-implemented methods, system and apparatus, including computer progr am apparatus, provide techniques for designing a set of experiments to be performed with a set of resources. A plurality of experimental configuration s (800) are generated based on a set of parameters describing factors to be varied in the experiments and a set of constraints representing limitations on operations that can be performed with the set of resources. A set of experiments is defined based on a selected configuration. The constraints ca n be represented as patterns (810) defining an application of a parameter to a set of one or more points of an experimental lattice.
