Patent number: 5762598Abstract: A fixed-angle rotor, having a centrifuge tube inclined at a predetermined gradient angle with respect to a rotational axis, is used to obtain a sedimentation coefficient of sample particles. In one method, a distance in the centrifugal direction is corrected by the gradient angle .theta. of centrifuge tube 1. Sedimentation coefficient S.sub.20,W is calculated based on the corrected distance, and then the sedimentation coefficient S.sub.20,W is multiplied with sin(.theta.) to obtain a corrected sedimentation coefficient. In another method, a distance in the centrifugal direction is corrected by the gradient angle .theta., and also an angular acceleration .omega..sup.2 is corrected by dividing it by sin(.theta.). And then, the sedimentation coefficient S.sub.20,W is calculated based on thus corrected distance and corrected angular acceleration.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1996Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Assignee: Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Peter Spragg, David Rickwood, Steven Humphries, Mitsutoshi Yotsuyanagi, Kazuyoshi Tokunaga

Patent number: 5675519Abstract: In an apparatus and a method for controlling centrifugal separator, simulation is performed, in Steps S1 to S4, for the process before and after change of parameters as centrifugation condition. The results are compared in Step S10, and operation of the centrifugal separator is controlled in Step S11. To obtain the measured data of the specimen, an attachment for analysis 15 is used, and the results are compared with the results of simulation, and parameters are corrected. To display the process in the middle of centrifugation, simulation is performed using the current parameters during operation of centrifugation, and the results are shown by graphic display on a display unit 2.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1994Date of Patent: October 7, 1997Assignee: Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsutoshi Yotsuyanagi, Kazuyoshi Tokunaga, Masataka Morita

Patent number: 5342280Abstract: A management system for use in a centrifuge equipped with a detachable rotor which is rotatable so as to separate density-different samples by a centrifugal force due to the rotation. The management system is for managing the lifetime of the rotor on the basis of the detection results of an operated-condition detector for detecting operated conditions such as the number of times of rotation, running time and rotational speed of the rotor. The management system includes a data storing device which is provided on the rotor to be rotatable therewith and is composed of a magnetic recording medium to allow keeping data relating to the operated conditions of the rotor. Also included in the management system is a data processing unit coupled through a data reading and writing device such as a magnetic head to the data keeping device and also coupled to the operated-condition detector to be responsive to the operated conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1993Date of Patent: August 30, 1994Assignee: Hitachi Koki Company LimitedInventors: Yoshitaka Niinai, Akio Nagata, Norihisa Sagawa, Shigeru Shinohara, Eiji Nakayama, Mitsutoshi Yotsuyanagi, Hiroshi Hayasaka, Kazuyoshi Tokunaga
