Patent number: 5279146Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring particulates in a combustion gas is accomplished by dividing the combustion gas into a first and second sample gas. The first sample gas is filtered to remove particulates to create a reference gas sample. A combustion furnace can heat both the reference gas sample and the sample gas to oxidize any particulates in the sample gas. A gas analyzer that is connected to the furnace can detect the gas components in, respectively, the reference gas sample and the sample gas, and a comparison of the detected results can determine the concentration of particulates.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 1992Date of Patent: January 18, 1994Assignee: Horiba Ltd.Inventors: Ichiro Asano, Kennosuke Kojima, Tokihiro Tsukamoto, Hiroji Kohsaka

Patent number: 5013920Abstract: An improved infrared analyzer is provided wherein an unknown specimen gas can be subjected to a measuring infrared ray and a comparative infrared ray to provide resulting signals. The system can be initially calibrated when a zero gas state is initially achieved in the sample cell, and correction factors are achieved by holding the zero gas instrument signal and an output difference between a zero gas comparison signal and the measuring signal for subsequent processing of the actual measurement of the specimen gas to provide a calibrated output signal representative of the concentration of the unknown gas.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1990Date of Patent: May 7, 1991Assignee: Horiba, Ltd.Inventors: Ichiro Asano, Kennosuke Kojima, Aritoshi Yoneda

Patent number: 4662755Abstract: A gas analyzer provided with apertures on the optical paths from a light source through a cell to sensors and multi-layer interference band-pass filters on the respective optical paths. The structure makes it possible to change the distance between each sensor and the corresponding aperture, or the change the size of the aperture, for changing the maximum angle of incidence of light on the filters which is sensed by the sensors to thus change the central wavelength of the filters.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1985Date of Patent: May 5, 1987Assignee: Horiba, Ltd.Inventors: Junji Aoki, Kennosuke Kojima

Patent number: 4193695Abstract: An optical system for a spectroscopic analyzer. The system has a light source, a detector and a sample cell connected in a line, and in the sample cell or between the sample cell and one of the other elements is a light chopper device. The light chopper has a rotating element in the form of a disc-shaped member or members which periodically block light from the light source and pass light during the times it is not blocked. The rotating element is driven by a motor on the outside of the structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1978Date of Patent: March 18, 1980Assignee: Horiba, Ltd.Inventors: Kennosuke Kojima, Takao Imaki, Kozo Ishida
