    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for identifying an optimal spectral match and potentially display the compared spectra. A sample spectrum of a sample substance can be compared to reference spectra to identify matches, thereby determining possibilities for what the sample substance is. Correction parameter(s) may be used for the sample spectrum and/or the reference spectrum. Initial value(s) for the correction parameter(s) can be applied to the sample spectrum and/or a reference spectrum, and a similarity score can be determined. The value(s) for the correction parameter(s) can be updated and iteratively improved to provide an optimal similarity score that satisfies a convergence criterion. Data about the reference substances having optimal similarity scores that are above a threshold can be output to a user, e.g., the reference spectra can overlay the sample spectrum. A user can then make a final determination of which reference substance corresponds to the sample substance.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for generating a compensation matrix during a substrate inspection. The method comprises the steps of: selecting information of N1 (N1≧2) feature objects which are randomly predetermined within a field of view (FOV) on a substrate; generating a first compensation matrix on the basis of information of the feature objects which are extracted on the substrate; comparing an offset value of each of all the feature objects with a predetermined reference value by applying all the feature objects within the FOV to the compensation matrix to count the number of the feature objects of which the offset value of the each of all the feature objects is less than the predetermined reference value; and repeatedly performing the above steps N2 times (N2≧1), and generating a second compensation matrix using information of the feature objects which have the offset value which is less than the predetermined reference value, in case the number of the counted feature objects is the maximum.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining weight percent of solids in a suspension using Raman spectroscopy. The methods can be utilized to acquire Raman spectral data from the suspension and to determine weight percent of solids in a process being carried out, for example, in a vessel, without the need to remove samples for analysis. The weight percent of the solids can be determined with a desired accuracy in a relatively short time, typically 10 minutes or less. The acquired Raman spectral data may be processed by chemometric software using, for example, a partial least squares algorithm and data pretreatment to provide a predicted value of weight percent solids. In some embodiments, the invention is used to determine the weight percent of microparticles of a diketopiperazine in an aqueous solution.
