Patents by Inventor Hirobumi SHIOHATA

Hirobumi SHIOHATA 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: 12163972
    Abstract: Proposed is a technique for facilitating work of cause investigation of a defect by an operator. The present disclosure proposes an automatic analyzer including: a reagent dispensing unit configured to aspirate a reagent from a reagent vessel that contains the reagent, and discharge the reagent into a reaction vessel that contains a reaction liquid containing a sample; a storage unit configured to store a type of the sample and concentration-related information determined for each type of the sample and related to a concentration of a component to be measured contained in the sample; a detection unit configured to detect a measurement concentration that is the concentration of the component to be measured contained in the reaction liquid; and a determination unit configured to determine whether an abnormality occurs in the reagent vessel based on the concentration-related information and the measurement concentration.

  • Publication number: 20240353435
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide an automated analyzing device which enables an improvement in analysis processing speed. This automated analyzing device is provided with an analysis module for analyzing a sample, and a control unit for controlling the analysis module, characterized in that the control unit controls the analysis module such that, among a plurality of measurement items registered in the analysis module, analysis of a biological sample supplied from a subject is prohibited with respect to measurement items for which calibration or accuracy control measurement is indicated, and analysis of the biological sample is permitted with respect to measurement items for which calibration and accuracy control measurement are not indicated.
