Abstract: A cavity in which an analysis sample is held and measurement is performed, and an electrode system for measuring the concentration of the sample in the cavity are provided on a biosensor. A secondary cell and an environment temperature sensor are provided inside the measuring device. The environment temperature during charging is measured in real-time by specifying the environment temperature during charging from the time required to charge the secondary cell and the environment temperature during charging. The measured analysis sample concentration is corrected for temperature with high accuracy from the environment temperature information obtained during charging, and thus an analysis result with extremely high accuracy is obtained.

Abstract: A cavity (17) in which an analysis sample is held and measurement is performed, and an electrode system (14) for measuring the concentration of the sample in the cavity (17) are provided on a biosensor (1). A secondary cell (21) and an environment temperature sensor (9) are provided inside the measuring device (2). The environment temperature during charging is measured in real time by specifying the environment temperature during charging from the time required to charge the secondary cell (21) and the environment temperature during charging. The measured analysis sample concentration is corrected for temperature with high accuracy from the environment temperature information obtained during charging, in a temperature correction step 09, and thus an analysis result with extremely high accuracy is obtained.

Abstract: At spin-up of an optical disk 3, gain adjustment and offset adjustment are performed on a servo error signal to obtain a first gain adjustment value and a first offset adjustment value. Based on the first gain adjustment value, a CPU 11 obtains a second gain adjustment value and a second offset adjustment value at data writing on the optical disk 3, and stores them in storage 7. When the reading state of the optical disk 3 shifts to the writing operation, the CPU 11 controls a laser power switching circuit 12 to change the output from an optical pickup 1 and, simultaneously, reads the second offset adjustment value and gain adjustment value stored in the storage 7 and sets them in an offset adjustment unit 5 and a gain adjustment unit 8, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to loop gain adjustment of a focus/tracking servo in an optical disk apparatus, and provides an optical disk apparatus which can make the loop gain adjustment converge normally even in an optical disk in which prerecorded areas and recorded areas are mixed, and further which always has a stable servo system even when a gain is significantly varied due to changes in the disk state. When an inserted optical disk is determined to be a recordable optical disk by an optical disk type determination means 22, an optical pickup 1 is made seek a previously set area, thereby performing the loop gain adjustment. Further, when a gain is varied during the operation, a gain adjusting means 10 changes over a gain adjustment value.
