Patent number: 11933716Abstract: A flow path plate for analysis of a component in a liquid sample, flowing within the flow path plate, by irradiating the liquid sample with measurement light is provided. The flow path plate includes a plate body having transparency; a flow path formed within the plate body and through which the liquid sample passes; a chamber provided in a part of the flow path and formed by a space having a cross-sectional area greater than cross-sectional areas of other parts of the flow path; and an internal part for detection disposed in the chamber and having a through hole. The through hole has an inner wall surface and constitutes a part of the flow path. The measurement light passes through the through hole. The internal part is configured to inhibit transmission of the measurement light from the inner wall surface of the through hole to the outside.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: ALPS ALPINE CO., LTD.Inventor: Junko Ito

Patent number: 9926923Abstract: A film is sandwiched between a first plate and a second plate. Outer convex parts formed on the second plate are formed so that their protrusion height dimension is larger than that of an inner convex part. Each outer convex part is formed so that its width dimension is smaller than the inner convex part. When the first plate and second plate are face-joined together, the film is sandwiched between outer concave parts and the outer convex parts, after which the film is sandwiched between an inner concave part and an inner convex part and a tension is applied to a diaphragm part stretched in concave flow paths.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Junko Ito, Yasushi Watanabe

Patent number: 5566124Abstract: An improved video RAM (1) is disclosed which is capable of reading at a high speed a data signal necessary for image processing. The data signal stored in a row of memory cells designated by a row decoder (13) is held in a serial register (4). A mode decoder (8) is responsive to externally provided interval data to control a counter (7) such that the counter (7) generates internal addresses SY0 to SY7 incrementing at the designated intervals. A serial decoder (6) is responsive to the internal addresses SY0 to SY7 to designate the serial register (4) at the designated intervals. Accordingly, only required data is provided from the serial register (4), with the result that desired data can be provided in a short period of time.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1993Date of Patent: October 15, 1996Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshio Fudeyasu, Junko Ito

Patent number: 5079745Abstract: A voltage amplifier comprises a pair of bit lines (B1, B2) connected to a dummy cell and a plurality of memory cells; a pair of n channel MOS transistors (Q1, Q2) connected between the pair of bit lines and an I/O line each operating in response to the potential of the other bit line; and a pair of p channel MOS transistors (Q5, Q6) connected between the pair of n channel MOS transistors (Q1, Q2) and the bit lines (B1, B2) operating in response to the ground potential. As the voltage difference of the pair of bit lines is amplified, the p channel MOS transistor connected to the bit line held at the lower potential turns on, and the connection between the bit line and the n channel MOS transistor is cut off.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 1988Date of Patent: January 7, 1992Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Junko Ito, Takayuki Miyamoto
