  • Publication number: 20190360983
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the origin of glutamic acid in a sample and, in a broader sense, relates to a method for determining the origin of an amino acid. The present invention makes it possible to measure the stable isotope ratio, with a considerably higher accuracy than that of conventional methods, by measuring the ?13C of glutamic acid (amino acid) by elemental analysis-stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA-IRMS) and measuring the ?15N by gas chromatography-stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-IRMS). In addition, the present invention makes it possible to determine the origin of glutamic acid (amino acid) by comparing the stable isotope ratio of the glutamic acid (amino acid) whose origin is unclear with the stable isotope ratio of glutamic acid (amino acid) whose origin is clear.

  • Patent number: 10243176
    Abstract: A method for repairing a bank during manufacture of an organic EL display device when a bank defect portion is produced due to collapsing of a bank, a foreign particle, or the like. The method includes: detecting a defect portion of a lengthwise bank formed over a ground substrate; and when a defect portion is detected, forming, in each of adjacent concave spaces between which the lengthwise bank having the defect portion is located, a dam partitioning the concave space into a first space in a vicinity of the bank defect portion and a second portion not in the vicinity of the bank defect portion. The shape of the dam is configured so that in ejecting organic functional layer ink in each concave space with a nozzle head, there is an ink dropping point in each of the first space and the second space.
