Patent number: 11302039Abstract: A model constructed by a training process using the technique of deep learning using the training data including images created from a large number of chromatograms and correct peak information is previously stored in a trained model storage section. When chromatogram data for a target sample acquired with an LC measurement unit are inputted, an image creator converts the chromatogram into an image and creates an input image in which one of the two areas divided by the chromatogram curve as the boundary in the image is filled. A peak position estimator inputs the pixel values of the input image into a trained model using a neural network, and obtains the position information of the starting point and/or ending point of the peak and a peak detection confidence as the output. A peak determiner determines the starting point and/or ending point of each peak based on the peak detection confidence.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi Osoekawa, Yusuke Hida, Yuzi Kanazawa, Shinji Kanazawa, Yohei Yamada, Hiroyuki Yasuda, Akihiro Kunisawa, Hidetoshi Terada

Patent number: 10401334Abstract: The present invention aims at reducing the time required for a series of analyses in the sequential performance of gradient analyses under a variety of conditions. To this end, in a control apparatus for controlling the operation of a liquid chromatograph having a gradient analysis function in which a mobile phase composed of a plurality of mixed solvents is used and a chromatograph analysis is performed while the mixture ratio of the solvents is temporally changed, the liquid chromatograph is controlled so as to continuously change the mixture ratio of the solvents from an initial mixture ratio to a final mixture ratio when performing a sample analysis; and as to perform, before the sample analysis, a preparatory liquid supply in which the mixture ratio of the solvents is continuously changed from the initial mixture ratio to the final mixture ratio at a rate higher than that in the sample analysis.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2012Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroshi Ohashi, Tadayuki Yamaguchi, Hidetoshi Terada

Patent number: 10254254Abstract: Provided is a preparative separation liquid chromatograph system and preparative separation condition searching method which allows for an easy setting of the preparative separation condition. A sample temporally separated into components by a separation column is introduced into a detector and a fraction collector, with each component fractionated and collected by the fraction collector based on the result of a detection by the detector. A controlling and processing unit holds the following data for each sample or compound in the form of a database: chromatogram data obtained when a liquid chromatograph analysis in a preparative separation condition searching mode is performed for various standard samples under a search condition; and chromatogram data obtained when a liquid chromatograph analysis in a preparative separation mode is performed under one or more sets of preparative separation conditions for the various standard samples, along with the preparative separation condition used in this analysis.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventors: Hidetoshi Terada, Yuji Katsuyama, Katsuhiko Miwa, Chie Kushibe

Patent number: 9546987Abstract: A liquid chromatograph control system for controlling an operation of a liquid chromatograph which uses a mobile phase composed of a mixture of solvents and which has the function of performing a gradient analysis while temporally changing the mixture ratio of the solvents. The system initially requests a user to set a basic gradient profile (Step S12), and subsequently, to set the number of steps to change the mixture ratio of the mobile phase at the beginning and/or at the end of the gradient process as well as the amount of change in the mixture ratio per step (Step S13). After that, based on the possible combinations of the mixture ratios of the mobile phase at the beginning and at the end of the gradient process computed from the contents of information entered in the previous steps, a plurality of gradient profiles corresponding to those combinations are created (Step S14).Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2012Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroshi Ohashi, Tadayuki Yamaguchi, Hidetoshi Terada

Patent number: 7797099Abstract: An apparatus is for controlling rotation of an engine mounted on a vehicle. In the apparatus, a count of a crank counter is updated based on a signal changing in accordance with rotation of a crankshaft. The count indicates a rotational position of the crankshaft. The rotation of the engine is controlled based on the count of the crank counter. An idle stop control member issues an engine stop request when it is determined that engine stop conditions are met, and then issues a command to crank the engine for restarting the engine when it is determined that engine start conditions are met. Further, an update prohibiting member prohibits the counter from being updated during a period of time ranging from a time instant when the engine stops in response to the engine stop request to a time instant when it is determined that the engine start conditions are met.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2008Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Hidetoshi Terada
