Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for analyzing data from an instrument is disclosed. The raw data generated by the instrument, along with configuration data generated by a user, is packaged into a calling model. The raw data may include, for example, counts having a certain kinetic energy when analyzing photoelectron spectroscopy data. The configuration data may include several parameters selected by the user based on the composition and configuration of the structure being measured. The calling model may serve as an interface between the instrument and an engine for generating an algorithm for returning desired results to the user. The engine then generates the algorithm as well as the results specified by the user, and the calling model returns the results to the user. This allows a specific algorithm and results for a specific measured sample or structure to be generated using known algorithms and functions.

Abstract: A process for preparing a vinyl isothiocyanate comprises contacting a halogen-substituted allyl thiocyanate, in solution and at an elevated temperature, with an acidic material which is either an acid or a halide or oxyhalide of an inorganic acid. The halogen-substituted allyl thiocyanate may be prepared from a dihalogenated alkene. The vinyl isothiocyanate may subsequently be converted to a thiazole.
