Patent number: 9623347Abstract: Provided is a centrifuge that preferably performs processes such as dispersion of a material to be processed while enhancing convenience for users. A centrifuge 1 of the present invention includes an ultrasonic wave generation source 10 that generates ultrasonic waves and a storage container 20 that stores a material to be processed M. The centrifuge 1 of the present invention also includes a rotation mechanism 30. The rotation mechanism 30 rotates the storage container 20 around a rotation axis L tilted relative to a virtual line V extended in a vertical direction in such a manner that the ultrasonic waves from the ultrasonic wave generation source 10 are constantly applicable to the material to be processed M.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2013Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: THINKY CORPORATIONInventor: Takayuki Takatsuka

Patent number: 9044717Abstract: A centrifugal device capable of adjusting a temperature of a material. The centrifugal device applies centrifugal force on a contained material contained within a container by spinning the container while rotating the container. The centrifugal device includes: a rotating body rotating around a predetermined rotation axis line; a container holder that holds the container and is attached in a rotatable manner to the rotating body in a position that is a predetermined distance away from the rotation axis line of the rotating body; a compartment body that compartmentalizes a space including an area in which the rotating body rotates; one or a plurality of projection bodies that project from an inner surface of the compartment body towards the area in which the rotating body rotates; and a temperature adjustor that adjusts the temperature of the compartment body.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: THINKY CORPORATIONInventor: Jianguo Yao
