  • Patent number: 11946899
    Abstract: A measuring device includes: a first electrode and a second electrode immersed in sample water stored in a measuring tank; a motor that rotates the first electrode; and a controller that operates, based on measurement results of current flowing through the sample water, in a measuring mode. In the measuring mode, the controller calculates a concentration of a measurement target in the sample water. The motor changes a rotational velocity of the motor.

  • Patent number: 11215581
    Abstract: An electric transmission mechanism according to one aspect of the present invention may include a tubular ring fixed to a shaft electively connected to an electrode, at least one brush slidably contacting with a circumferential surface of the ring, a bearing including an inner race fixed to the ring, and a housing which is fixed to an outer race of the bearing and accommodates a contact part of the ring and the brush therein.

  • Patent number: 11073473
    Abstract: A turbidity measurement method includes irradiating a first irradiation light L1 having a first spectrum E1, detecting a first measured light ML1 based on the first irradiation light L1, irradiating a second irradiation light L2 having a second spectrum E2 different from the first spectrum E1, detecting a second measured light ML2 based on the second irradiation light L2, calculating turbidity of a liquid to be measured, and correcting at least one of a first parameter related to turbidity calculation associated with the first irradiation light L1 and a second parameter related to turbidity calculation associated with the second irradiation light L2 so that the calculated turbidity of the liquid to be measured corresponds to the turbidity of the liquid to be measured as measured using another light source serving as a standard of comparison.

  • Publication number: 20210003579
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for assisting a determination of an efficacy of an immune checkpoint inhibitor, the method comprising: measuring a free protein marker in a liquid sample collected from a subject; and determining the efficacy of the immune checkpoint inhibitor in the subject based on a result of the measurement, wherein the free protein marker is at least one selected from free Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), free Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and free Programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1).
