  • Patent number: 8010309
    Abstract: A method of analysis, analysis system, program product, apparatus, and method of supplying analysis of value incorporating the use of at least one data acquisition device, a central processor, and a communication link that is connectable between the data acquisition device and the central processor. The central processor is loaded with multivariate calibration models developed for predicting values for various properties of interest, wherein the calibration models are capable of compensating for variations in an effectively comprehensive set of measurement conditions and secondary material characteristics. As so configured, the calibration models can compensate for instrument variance without instrument-specific calibration transfer. Measurement results generated by the central processor can be transmitted to an output device of a user interface.

  • Patent number: 6855327
    Abstract: Free-flowing granular dispersing agents for use in water-dispersible granule (WDG) agricultural chemical formulations are a composite substance comprised of an alkyl polyglycoside and a polymeric anionic dispersant. The granular composite dispersing agents can be used in granular or liquid agricultural chemical formulations, exhibit outstanding attrition resistance, excellent dispersional stability after accelerated aging and low moisture content when made into a paste. The composite dispersing agents are useful as primary dispersants in dry agricultural formulations (wettable powders and water-dispersible granules) and in aqueous suspension concentrates.
