    Abstract: Provided is an electron beam scanning method for forming an electric field for appropriately guiding electrons emitted from a pattern to the outside of the pattern, and also provided is a scanning electron microscope. When an electron beam for forming charge is irradiated to a sample, a first electron beam is irradiated to a first position (1) and a second position (2) having the center (104) of a pattern formed on the sample as a symmetrical point, and is then additionally irradiated to two central positions (3, 4) between the first and second irradiation position, the two central positions (3, 4) being on the same radius centered on the symmetrical point as are the first and second positions. Further, after that, the irradiation of the first electron beam to the central positions between existing scanning positions on the radius is repeated.

  • Publication number: 20140183984
    Abstract: In a motor that is molded with resin in part or as a whole, thermal expansion caused by temperature rise due to reduction in size and increase in output causes application of stress equal to or greater than fracture stress to the resin, thus generating cracks. Therefore, according to the invention, in a resin-molded rotating machine, a part or the whole of a gap between plural mold resins molded in different places from each other is made of a material with a higher thermal conductivity and a lower Young's modulus than the mold resins, and these mold resins are bonded together mechanically or with an adhesive material, or are fastened by both these methods.

  • Patent number: 8482148
    Abstract: A solar thermal power generation apparatus including: a turbine rotatable around a vertical axis, a power generator driven by turbine; a funnel disposed along vertical axis so as to house turbine and having an intake port at the lower end of funnel; and a transparent box body disposed so as to surround a lower portion of the funnel and having the air intake port at a position being lower than the intake port and a heat collector disposed in a standing manner at a distance between the box body and the funnel. An upper end of the heat collector is at a position being higher than the intake port. By using an updraft occurred by heating air having flown from the air intake port into the inside of the box body by the heat collector, the turbine is rotated, which causes the power generator to generate power.

  • Patent number: 7932486
    Abstract: During the structural analysis of a protein or peptide by tandem mass spectroscopy, a peptide ion derived from a protein that has already been measured and that is expressed in great quantities is avoided as a tandem mass spectroscopy target. A peptide derived from a minute amount of protein, which has heretofore been difficult to analyze, can be automatically determined as a tandem mass spectroscopy target within the real time of measurement. Data concerning a protein that has already been measured and a peptide derived from the protein is automatically stored in an internal database. The stored data is collated with measured data with high accuracy to determine an isotope peak. In this way, the process of selecting a peptide peak that has not been measured as the target for the next tandem analysis can be performed within the real time of measurement and a redundant measurement of peptides derived from the same protein can be avoided.

  • Patent number: 7595484
    Abstract: The present invention can provide a mass spectrometric system judging whether a measurement target is a substance required by an operator within an actual measurement time, when a substance (particularly such as protein or sugar chains) is analyzed. In the mass spectrometric system using a tandem mass spectrometer, a particular substance obtained by separating a sample is ionized, and mass analysis of the ionized substance is performed to obtain a spectrum. This spectrum is compared with a particular spectrum stored in advance, to thereby determine whether both the spectra match with each other. When a match is determined, a particular ion is further ionized within a particular time for detailed analysis. The invention also provides a mass spectrometric method, a diagnosis system and an inspection system each using the mass spectrometric system, and a program for operating a computer to control those systems with desired functions.

  • Patent number: 7544930
    Abstract: The present invention provides a tandem type mass analysis system capable of carrying out the differential analysis with high efficiency by the tandem type mass analysis. A predetermined number of m/z regions are set up for carrying out the mass analysis with the all ions included therein being dissociated collectively for each m/z region so as to obtain measurement MS2 data. By comparing the measurement MS2 data with reference MS2 data stored in a reference data base, a difference thereof is detected. For the m/z region with a differential component detected, the mass analysis is carried out collectively without dissociation for the all ions included therein so as to obtain measurement MS1 data. By comparing the measurement MS1 data with the reference MS1 data, a difference thereof is detected. From the difference thereof, a parent ion considered to be the differential component factor is presumed for carrying out the mass analysis with the same being dissociated.
