Patents by Inventor Kensuke FUKUSHIRO

Kensuke FUKUSHIRO has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10935489
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an analysis apparatus adapted to analyze a measurement target component contained in a sample by irradiating a measurement cell into which the sample is introduced with pulse-oscillated light, whereby suppressing reduction in wavelength resolution without shortening the pulse width. The analysis apparatus includes multiple light sources adapted to produce pulse oscillations, a light detector adapted to detect light emitted from the light source and transmitted through the measurement cell, and a signal separation part adapted to separate, from a light intensity signal obtained by the light detector, signals corresponding to a part of pulses from the light sources.

  • Patent number: 10605726
    Abstract: The present invention is adapted to include: a light source adapted to emit reference light that is light whose wavelength is modulated at a predetermined modulation frequency; a light detector adapted to detect the intensity of measurement target light that is light after the reference light has transmitted through the measurement target component, and the intensity of the reference light; a first calculation part adapted to calculate an intensity ratio logarithm that is the logarithm of the ratio between the intensity of the measurement target light and the intensity of the reference light; a frequency component extraction part adapted to lock-in detect the intensity ratio logarithm with a reference signal having a frequency n times the modulation frequency; and a second calculation part adapted to, on the basis of the result of the detection by the frequency component extraction part, calculate the concentration or absorbance of the measurement target component.
