  • Patent number: 10158439
    Abstract: When a name of a group level control section is tapped, the group level control section is expanded and a group expansion screen is displayed on a display. In the group expansion screen, the group level control section is expanded and images of channel level control sections for respectively controlling output levels of channels belonging to a group corresponded to the group level control section are displayed by juxtaposing next to the group level control section. In this case, each channel level control section belongs to a lower layer than that of the group level control section. Although the channel level control sections and the group level control section belong to the different layers, they are aligned in the same line on the same screen on the display.

  • Patent number: 10066253
    Abstract: Provided is a method for measuring a blood component amount that can sufficiently and properly correct the blood component amount by measuring an Hct value with high accuracy and high reliability, and a sensor and a measuring device that are used in the method. A method for measuring a blood component amount uses a biosensor to calculate a blood component amount in blood. The biosensor includes the following: a first electrode system having a first working electrode and a first counter electrode; a second electrode system having a second working electrode and a second counter electrode; and a reagent portion arranged in a form that covers at least a part of the first electrode system, but does not cover the second working electrode.

  • Patent number: 9914159
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a plug for use in a piercing-rolling mill for producing a seamless steel tube/pipe, and the method for producing the plug for piercing-rolling comprises shotblasting a surface of the plug, and arc-spraying a spray wire so as to form a film on a surface of a base metal of the plug that is shotblasted. In the arc-spraying step, the arc spraying is carried out by using, as the spray wire, a cored wire whose iron sheath tube is charged with at least iron oxide particles among iron particles and the iron oxide particles (one or more of FeO particles, Fe3O4 particles, and Fe2O3 particles), so as to form the film containing iron oxide and Fe. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance the production efficiency of the plug, and to produce the plug for piercing-rolling capable of securing the steady enhancement of the durability life of the plug during the piercing-rolling.

  • Publication number: 20180038819
    Abstract: Provided is a blood component measuring device or the like that can further suppress the measurement error of a blood component. The device detects an oxidation-reduction current generated by oxidation-reduction when a first voltage is applied to a first electrode pair 21, 22 of a biosensor 1, and converts the oxidation-reduction current (glucose response value) into a glucose conversion value. The device detects a current generated when a second voltage is applied to a second electrode pair 23, 24 of the biosensor 1, and converts the detected current (blood cell amount response value) into a blood cell amount conversion value. The glucose response value is measured more than once and the blood cell amount response value is also measured more than once within a predetermined period after the introduction of the blood into the biosensor 1.

  • Patent number: 9845525
    Abstract: Provided is an equipment system for producing a piercing-rolling plug to be used for producing a seamless steel tube/pipe, which includes a shotblasting device for applying shotblasting on a surface of the plug, and an arc-spraying device for performing arc-spraying of iron wires on a surface of a base metal of the plug to which the shotblasting is applied, so as to form a film containing oxide and Fe thereon. The arc-spraying device includes plural spraying booths each of which separately forms part of the film in turn in each of sections into which the surface of the base metal of the plug is divided along an axial direction of the plug.

  • Patent number: 9840421
    Abstract: When a disproportionated chlorosilane is to be produced by causing a starting material chlorosilane liquid to flow through a catalyst-packed layer which is packed with a weakly basic anion exchange resin as a disproportionation reaction catalyst to carry out a disproportionation reaction, before the disproportionation reaction is carried out, the disproportionation reaction catalyst is brought into contact with a processing gas obtained by diluting a chlorosilane with an inert gas to prevent the deterioration of the disproportionation reaction catalyst at the start of the reaction so as to carry out the disproportionation of the chlorosilane efficiently.
