Patent number: 11977058Abstract: Provided is a chromatography system including a usage information storage device, a column usage information holding part, and a usage information managing part. The usage information storage device is provided corresponding to the analytical column incorporated in the chromatography system and is configured to keep usage information for each corresponding analytical column. The column usage information holding part is provided separately from the analytical column and is configured to keep usage information for each of the analytical columns which may be incorporated in the chromatography system. The usage information managing part is configured to update, at a timing when an analysis process of separating a sample injected into the analysis channel using the analytical column is executed, the usage information kept by the usage information storage device and the usage information kept by the column usage information holding part in association with the analytical column to latest usage information.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventor: Atsushi Matsudaira

Patent number: 11947921Abstract: A validation document while responding to a customer's demand is efficiently created. A server creates a first sample document upon receiving, from a terminal device, a request for creation of the first sample document including an inspection item targeted for a first device. The terminal device receives an operation of inputting the parameter value to the first sample document, and transmits the inputted parameter value to the server. The server creates a first validation document on the basis of the parameter value received from the terminal device and on the basis of the first sample document.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi Yoshida, Atsushi Matsudaira, Okiyuki Kunihiro, Maki Fukui, Yasuo Kakude

Patent number: 11423122Abstract: An installation operator of a newly purchased analyzing device (10) performs software activation of the analyzing device PC (1) from an installation operator terminal (3) using his or her own account. At that time, the installation operator is registered in the server (5) as the license holder of the software. After that, when the installation operator issues a transfer request with an e-mail address of a device user who is a license transfer destination from a terminal (3) to a server (5) attached, a predetermined web page is created in the server (5) and an e-mail containing a URL is sent to the device user who has already acquired their account. When the device user issues an instruction of acceptance upon browsing the web page at the user terminal (2), the license holder of the software is transferred from the installation operator to the device user in the server (5).Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventor: Atsushi Matsudaira

Patent number: 10885155Abstract: When upgrading a software installed in an analysis device PC (1) that is not connected to the Internet (4), a user performs a predetermined operation with the analysis device PC (1) to acquire a license authentication cancellation key. When the user accesses a server (5) from a user terminal (2) with a predetermined account and enters the license authentication cancellation key, a license authentication cancellation unit (52) cancels authentication of a license for a previous version. Furthermore, when the user enters a product serial number of an upgrade version software 3 and the like, an upgrade verification unit (53) confirms that the user owns the license for the previous version and that the authentication has been canceled, and an activation key issue unit (54) issues an activation key for an upgrade license. Using this, a device user activates the upgraded software installed in the analysis device PC (1).Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventor: Atsushi Matsudaira
