  • Patent number: 7781703
    Abstract: The thermal analyzer comprises temperature deviation approximation formula holder which holds an approximate formula of a temperature deviation between sample and furnace and an elevating or lowering rate of the temperature of furnace during measuring the temperature deviation, programmed temperature corrector which corrects a programmed temperature in proportion to the elevating or lowering rate of the temperature. So that, since the temperature deviation is corrected in proportion to the elevating or lowering rate of the temperature program, the temperature deviation between sample and furnace is controlled to diminish when heating or cooling the sample using the temperature program which elevates or lowers the temperature of the sample or the furnace.

  • Publication number: 20060004839
    Abstract: A data processing method in a database management system having a main database and a sub database, for generating the sub database by utilizing log information generated by a data operation of the main database utilizing a transaction processing. When a checkpoint as a recovery timing of the database in the transaction processing is detected, the data operation based on the log information generated before the checkpoint is processed for the sub database. Replication from the main database to the sub database is accomplished in this way. Whenever the checkpoint is detected, a data operation is executed for the sub database based on the log information generated from a checkpoint immediately before the checkpoint detected to the checkpoint detected and replication from the main database to the sub database is accomplished.

  • Patent number: 6632015
    Abstract: With input compensation-type differential scanning calorimeters of the related art, the power supplied fluctuated even with non-endothermic reference materials, and the reference material side temperature therefore also fluctuated. Mutual interference between feedback loops also made precise temperature control difficult. In the present invention, power supplied to the sample side is changed to compensate for a temperature difference between the sample side and the reference material side using a differential thermal feedback loop, power to be supplied to the reference material side heater to make the reference material side temperature correspond to the program temperature is controlled, and the same amount of the power is also supplied to the sample side with the average temperature feedback loop.
