Patents by Inventor Asuka Uchikawa

Asuka Uchikawa 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: 10634690
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided an automatic analyzing apparatus which comprises determination processing circuitry, an analyzer mechanism and data processing circuitry. The determination processing circuitry determines whether to continue reaction of a solution mixture based on reaction data. The analyzer mechanism generates analytical data based on test data generated by measuring the solution mixture. The data processing circuitry performs control such that the analytical data is generated in a first measurement section if it is determined that continuation of the reaction of the solution mixture is unnecessary, and the analytical data is generated by measuring the solution mixture after the first measurement section if it is determined that continuation of the reaction of the solution mixture is necessary.

  • Patent number: 9470700
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an automatic analyzer includes a magnet and a photometric mechanism. The magnet generates a magnetic field applied to a test solution containing a sample and magnetic particles accommodated in a cuvette. The photometric mechanism includes a light source and a detector. The light source irradiates light toward the test solution. The detector is provided in a position opposed to the light source across the cuvette to detect the light from the test solution. The magnet has a geometrical arrangement such that a magnetic flux density of the magnetic field in the test solution inside the cuvette becomes substantially uniform.
