Patent number: 11972885Abstract: A magnetic material includes a grain compact in which metal grains having oxide films are compacted, wherein the metal grains are constituted by Fe—Si-M soft magnetic alloy (where M represents a metal element that oxidizes more easily than iron), the metal grains in the grain compact are mutually bonded with adjacent metal grains by inter-bonding of their oxide films, and at least some of this bonding of oxide films takes the form of bonding of crystalline oxides, or preferably at least some of the bonding of oxides is based on continuous lattice bond. A coil component has a coil on an interior or surface of an element body wherein the element body uses the magnetic material.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2012Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTDInventors: Kenji Otake, Hitoshi Matsuura

Publication number: 20200141959Abstract: A reagent container transfer mechanism transfers a reagent container selected from among reagent containers stored in a second reagent container storage section to a first reagent container storage section. A controller controls the reagent container transfer mechanism to transfer a reagent container from a second reagent container storage section to the first reagent container storage section on the basis of a predetermined priority condition. The predetermined priority condition is one of a reagent provided with an effective calibration curve result, a number of remaining tests, and an expiration date of a reagent.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2020Publication date: May 7, 2020Inventors: Masaki SHIBA, Masaaki HANAWA, Masaharu NISHIDA, Hitoshi OTAKE

Patent number: 7054756Abstract: In a bacteriological examination system, an expected range of drug sensitivity is calculated from the results of statistics of data acquired at past drug sensitivity tests. Testing panels accommodating drugs of different densities (ex. increasing by increments) covers the calculated expected range are selected for testing. An average-per-sample value of drug sensitivities of bacteria that reside in a hospital and an average-per-sample value of drug sensitivities of bacteria that reside in a limited region are preserved separately in a results-of-test database. A difference between statistical values of drug sensitivities of one bacterial species in a bacterial classification group residing in a hospital to an object drug and statistical values of drug sensitivities of the bacterial species residing in a limited region is calculated. The difference then is divided by the average-per-same value in the limited region.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2001Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Kazuyuki Shimada, Hitoshi Matsuo, Satoshi Mitsuyama, Hitoshi Otake
