Abstract
Methods of assessing feasibility of a project include receiving a datum from a customer; designing an application specific system based on the datum; analyzing the datum; evaluating a set of input parameters to determine an applicability of the application specific system to a customer process; and providing feedback for the customer process with the application specific system.
Claims32
A method of assessing feasibility of a project, the method comprising:
- receiving a datum associated with a desired process;
- designing, using one or more computers, an application specific multivariate optical computing system based on the datum, comprising:
- analyzing the datum;
- separating the datum into calibration and validation portions thereof;
- developing one or more models of at least one component of the application specific multivariate optical computing system using the calibration portion of the datum;
- and testing the one or more models using the validation portion of the datum;
- wherein the application specific multivariate optical computing system incorporates one or more of the models;
- and
- evaluating, using the one or more computers, a set of input parameters to determine an applicability of the application specific multivariate optical computing system to the desired process;
- wherein developing the one or more models comprises:
- modeling, using the one or more computers and the calibration portion of the datum, two or more of the following elements of the application specific multivariate optical computing system:
- an illumination source adapted to provide at least a calibration light;
- a beam splitter adapted to split the calibration light into first and second portions thereof, and further adapted to split a carrier light into first and second portions thereof;
- a baseline detector to which the respective first portions of the calibration light and the carrier light are adapted to be sent by the beam splitter;
- an element detector to which the respective second portions of the calibration light and the carrier light are adapted to be sent by the beam splitter;
- or
- a multivariate optical element through which the respective second portions of the calibration light and the carrier light are adapted to pass before being received by the element detector.
