Patent number: 11982659Abstract: A system for calibrating a moisture sensor encompasses a processing unit (341). The processing unit (341) includes a reference data obtaining LCKT (345), a subject data obtaining LCKT (346) and a relationship calculating LCKT (347). The reference data obtaining LCKT (345) obtains reference data, after injecting water-vapor with known concentrations into an analyzer. The subject data obtaining LCKT (346) measures subject data indicating temporal variation of output-responses of a subject sensor element of the analyzer under test. The relationship calculating LCKT (347) compares the subject data with the reference data, and calculates relationships between the output-responses of the subject sensor element and the known concentrations.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Ball Wave Inc.Inventors: Takamitsu Iwaya, Shingo Akao, Tatsuhiro Okano, Nobuo Takeda, Toshihiro Tsuji, Toru Oizumi, Hideyuki Fukushi, Maki Sugawara, Yusuke Tsukahara, Kazushi Yamanaka

Patent number: 5494572Abstract: This process for the desulfurization and denitration of light oil is effected by extraction with an organic solvent containing nitrogen. The invention also relates to light oil desulfurized and denitrated by said process as well as an organic solvent containing nitrogen for the extraction. The solvent is selected from among, for example, hetrocyclic compounds containing nitrogen, such as pyrrolidones, imidazolidinones, pyrimidinones and pyridinium salts, and acid amides. The combination of the process of this invention with any ordinary process for hydrodesulfurization enables the production of light oil having a sulfur content not exceeding 0.01% by weight. Light oil still containing benzothiophenone and dibenzothiophenone derivatives after hydrodesulfurization can be easily desulfurized to yield a desulfurized product not having any undesirable color, or any offensive smell. Also, the extraction of nitrogen compounds and aromatic compound from light oil is effected by the same process.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1995Date of Patent: February 27, 1996Assignee: General Sekiyu KabushikikaishaInventors: Yuji Horii, Hitoshi Onuki, Sadaaki Doi, Toshiatsu Mori, Takeo Takatori, Hideaki Sato, Tsuyoshi Ookuro, Toru Sugawara
