Abstract: A quantum yield calculation method uses a quantum yield calculation program for a spectrophotofluorometer. When a quantum yield is calculated using a spectrophotofluorometer 1, a calibration processing unit executes the processing to calibrate a photon number A2 that is a photon number of the fluorescence in a blank measurement state based on a photon number A1 that is the photon number of an excitation light in the blank measurement state and a photon number B1 that is the photon number of an excitation light in the sample measurement state. A quantum yield calculation processing unit calculates a first quantum yield based on a background photon number A2? after a calibration in addition to the photon number A1 of the excitation light in the blank measurement state and the photon number B2 of the fluorescence in the sample measurement state.

Abstract: A fitting clearance of a relief valve functions as an air bleeding orifice. When a discharge pressure reaches a relief pressure so that the relief valve turns into a relief state, a spool is moved so as to limit flow-out of hydraulic oil through the fitting clearance. As a result, generation of air trapping is suppressed by air bleeding function of the relief valve in a closed state. Air in a discharge oil passage is discharged quickly in the initial period of the startup of an electric oil pump, thereby improving rise-up of discharge pressure. During normal pump operation in which the relief valve is held in a relief state, pressure loss due to flow out of the hydraulic oil from the fitting clearance is suppressed and consequently, an electric oil pump having substantially the same discharge performance as conventionally can be used.
