Akihiro Nishimoto has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9074968
    Abstract: The present invention is provided with a control device that sets a split flow ratio that is a ratio of the flow rate of the diluted exhaust gas to be sampled through a diluted exhaust gas sampling flow path to a flow rate of a diluted exhaust gas flowing through a CVS, wherein the control device uses the flow rate (QCVS) of the diluted exhaust gas flowing through the CVS or a value (TCVS or PCVS) related to the flow rate (QCVS) of the diluted exhaust gas to set the split flow ratio (Qsamp/QCVS) so as to make a flow velocity (Vfilter) of the diluted exhaust gas flowing into an analytical device equal to a predetermined value.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6430477
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a gas analyzer system for controlling a plurality of analyzers having different hardware constitutions in a single program works on a single CPU. The control apparatus includes a processing unit with a CPU which is connected with each gas analyzer by a CPU bus to control each gas analyzer. Each gas analyzer is provided with a plurality of AD converters having respectively a plurality of analog input ports in which the respective output signals of the gas analyzer units are inputted, and a non-volatile memory unit for storing a connection condition table which shows the connection condition of the gas analyzer unit to the AD converters, by connecting with the CPU bus, thereby making it possible for the CPU in the analyzer processing unit to control the respective gas analyzers by a single program.
