Patent number: 7253886Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an analysis device which can reproduce an image of an analysis object more accurately even when an analysis disc is an optical disc having the analysis object therein. A second pickup (106b) is provided for capturing and tracing a track on an analysis disc (201), and a first pickup (106a) is provided which is fixed at a constant distance (L) from the second pickup (106b) on the disc. A signal identical to the tracking signal of the second pickup (106b) is applied to a tracking actuator for driving the optical path of the first pickup (106a) in the radial direction of the analysis disc. A part of an analysis object (110) is traced and read while the position of the second pickup (106b) in the radial direction is controlled at times.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2003Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsugio Wakita, Hiroyuki Hamamoto

Patent number: 7218394Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid specimen analysis disk assembly, which prevents a liquid specimen from adhering onto a surface of a disk and leaking out of the disk, and is easy to handle during injection of the specimen. The disk assembly includes a guide member detachably provided on the disk and having a guide hole for guiding a distal portion of a specimen injector toward a specimen injection port, so that the specimen is injected into a specimen spreading cavity or an internal channel from the specimen injection port and rotated about an axis of the disk, and the specimen spread in the channel following the rotation is optically scanned for analyzing. The distal portion of the specimen injector is inserted into the guide hole and assuredly guided to the center of the specimen injection port, thus preventing the specimen from adhering onto the disk surface around the injection port.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2004Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Murakami, Masakazu Mori, Hiroyuki Hamamoto

Patent number: 7015783Abstract: A coil component includes a coil 2 having a through-hole 1, a magnetic core encapsulating the coil, and a terminal 4. The magnetic core includes a top portion 11 disposed at an upper part of the coil, a bottom portion 12 disposed at a lower part of the coil, and a middle portion 13. An outer layer thickness of the middle portion (W1) is less than a diameter of the through-hole, while the top portion and the bottom portion are higher in density than the middle portion. The configuration of the present invention provides a small size coil component with less occurrence of magnetic saturation to prevent lowering of inductance even with thin top 11 and bottom portions 11, 12.
