41 Method and/or system for compensating for effects of heat flow and/or air flow through fiberglass insulation US11327648 2006-01-09 US20060272280A1 2006-12-07 Gary Romes; David Yarbrough
A method and/or system is provided that compensates for the flow of air through fiberglass insulation. In certain example embodiments, a dynamic heat flow meter or the like is provided for measuring and/or determining any detrimental effects of air flow through insulation such as fiberglass insulation. Once the possible detrimental effects are recognized, an insulation system is adapted (e.g., by providing a foam based insulation in a wall cavity in addition to the fiberglass insulation) to compensate, or substantially compensate, for the effects of air flow through the fiberglass. For instance, a sufficient amount of foam insulation may be provided in a cavity adjacent fiberglass, where the foam blocks or substantially blocks air from flowing through the cavity, thereby compensating for the effects of air flow through fiberglass and permitting the intended R-value to be maintained or substantially maintained.

44 Computer readable medium for performing sensor array based materials characterization US10315519 2002-12-10 US06668230B2 2003-12-23 Paul Mansky; James Bennett
A modular materials characterization apparatus includes a sensor array disposed on a substrate, with a standardized array and contact pad format; electronic test and measurement apparatus for sending electrical signals to and receiving electrical signals from the sensor array; an apparatus for making electrical contact to the sensors in the standardized array format; an apparatus for routing signals between one or more selected sensors and the electronic test and measurement apparatus and a computer including a computer readable having a computer program recorded therein for controlling the operator of the apparatus. The sensor array is preferably arranged in a standardized format used in combinatorial chemistry applications for rapid deposition of sample materials on the sensor array. The interconnection apparatus and sensor array and contact pad allow measurement of many different material properties by using substrates carrying different sensor types, with only minor modifications if any to the electronic test and measurement apparatus and test procedures. By using a sensor array that is separate from the electronic apparatus, and by including standardized contacting and signal routing apparatuses, the apparatus creates a modular “plug-and-play” system that eliminates the need for multiple materials characterization machines, and eliminates the need for application-specific active circuitry within the sensor arrays themselves. Further, the modular sensor array system can characterize large numbers of material samples rapidly, on the order of at least 50 samples per hour, reducing the time needed for screening of materials libraries.

A method of measuring the quenchability of a liquid coolant used to cool objects such as ingots produced by direct-chill casting. The method involves providing a sample of the liquid coolant; providing a probe for immersion in the sample, the probe having a temperature-sensing electrical device contained therein which generates an electrical response corresponding to temperature sensed; heating the probe in a gas, preferably by means of electrical resistance heating by a circuit which is electrically connected to the temperature-sensing electrical device, to a predetermined temperature measured by the electrical response of the temperature sensing device, immersing the probe into the sample and measuring the electrical response for a predetermined measurement period, and comparing the measured electrical response to a response of a reference liquid measured under equivalent conditions, to thereby determine the quenchability property of the liquid coolant. The invention also relates to apparatus for carrying out the method, as well as a method and apparatus for controlling the cooling of the object based on the measured quenchability of the coolant. In an alternative, the probe may be heated by means other than the electrical resistance heating at a rate of at least about 40° C./second.

A method of measuring the absolute value of thermal conductivity of low thermal conducting solid materials. Thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the sample are determined simultaneously in a single measurement with the prerequisite that these values are frequency independent. This method is realized on power-compensated differential scanning calorimeters "DSC" without any modification in the measuring system. The DSC (3) consists of a sample (1), which is preferably in disk formation, and a grease layer (2). The DSC is calibrated in a standard way for temperature and heat flow. The method uses temperature-time profiles consisting of one fast temperature jump of 0.5 to 2 K and an isotherm. The measuring time for each temperature is less than 1 minute. For input parameters, only sample thickness and contact area with the DSC furnace, or sample diameter if the sample is disk shaped, are needed together with sample mass. In addition to the sample thermal conductivity and heat capacity, the effective thermal contact between sample and the DSC furnace is determined.
