  • Patent number: 8042379
    Abstract: A combination of a liquid chromatograph and a gas chromatograph was a possible measure for improving precision in analyzing organic chemical substances. However, because elutes from liquid chromatoghaphies contain water and a highly polar solvent, injection thereof into a gas chromatograph has been impossible. Consequently, to develop an analytical method which realizes that combination and an apparatus thereof has been a subject. The method of the quantitative analysis comprises subjecting a sample for analysis prepared beforehand by extracting organic chemical substances from an assay sample to fractionation by a liquid chromatograph, continuously adsorbing a fractionated elute containing a substance to be determined onto a solid-phase cartridge while conducting the fractionation, eluting this substance, which has been adsorbed on the solid-phase cartridge, with an eluent, and transferring the elute to a storage chamber of a gas chromatograph.

  • Patent number: 8013262
    Abstract: Provided is a key sheet allowing reliable sliding operation input through accurate coordinate position detection and depressing operation input of satisfactory depression operability through clear click feel. Fixation layers are formed at positions under depressing operation portions, and there are no fixation layers in portions around the depressing operation portions but gaps are formed. With this construction, it is possible to suppress a depression operation load to a low level at a time of depressing input operation, and, when contact switches with click feel are depressed, the click feel can be easily transmitted. Further, a surface sheet has movable contact portions which enter the gaps at a time of sliding input operation and which are displaced so as to be capable of coming into contact with a sensor sheet. With this construction, it is possible to sense, in a stable manner, capacitance at an in-plane position of a sliding operation surface of the sensor sheet.

  • Publication number: 20110025209
    Abstract: A curvature estimation unit estimates the curvature of the road on which a vehicle is driving. A swivel angle setting unit is configured to perform a first mode in which a swivel angle of a lamp unit is set such that a light distribution pattern follows the travelling direction of the vehicle based on the curvature estimated by the curvature estimation unit, and perform a second mode in which a swivel angle of the lamp unit is set such that a shielded area created in a light distribution pattern follows the position of the vehicle detected by a vehicle position detector. A pattern determination unit determines a light distribution pattern such that the position of the vehicle detected by the vehicle position detector remains in the shielded area. A swivel angle setting unit performs the first mode when it is determined that the road is a curved road based on the curvature estimated by the curvature estimation unit, and performs the second mode when it is determined that the road is a straight road.

  • Patent number: 7485822
    Abstract: Disclosed is a key sheet efficiently diffusing local heat generated by a device mounted on a board. A key sheet has a base sheet formed of a rubber-like elastic material in which a heat conductive filler is mixed. Thus, if a semiconductor device on a board generates heat, it is possible to suppress local heat storage by the heat conductive filler of the base sheet. Further, there is no need to provide a separate member for heat diffusion between the board and the key sheet, making it possible to realize a reduction in thickness. Thus, with the key sheet, it is possible to meet the requirement for heat diffusion to eliminate local heat storage in electronic apparatuses, and the requirement for a reduction in the thickness and weight of electronic apparatuses.

  • Patent number: 7378607
    Abstract: Disclosed is a key sheet efficiently diffusing local heat generated by a device mounted on a board. A base sheet of a key sheet is provided with a heat diffusion sheet. The heat diffusion sheet is provided with a graphite sheet and a resin film and, in some cases, a thin metal plate. The base sheet itself thus constitutes the heat diffusion sheet, so even if no member for heat diffusion is provided between a board and the key sheet, it is possible to diffuse local heat generated by a semiconductor device in the face direction of the base sheet. Thus, with the key sheet, it is possible to meet the requirement for heat diffusion to eliminate local heat storage in electronic apparatuses and to meet the requirement for a reduction in the thickness and further in weight of electronic apparatuses.

  • Publication number: 20080093961
    Abstract: Provided is an illumination type key sheet which efficiently diffuses local heat generated by a mounted element on a board and which makes an EL member relatively free from generation of unevenness in luminance. An illumination type key sheet is equipped with a graphite sheet which diffuses heat in a surface direction. Thus, if a semiconductor device on a board generates heat, it is possible to prevent local heating of an EL sheet by the graphite sheet, making the EL sheet relatively free from generation of unevenness in luminance. At the same time, it is possible to prevent occurrence of problems, such as malfunction and failure, due to heat storage of the semiconductor device. As compared with other materials, the graphite sheet exhibits high heat conductivity allows efficient heat diffusion, and is lightweight. Thus, it can meet the demand for a reduction in a weight of portable electronic apparatuses.
