Patent number: 10041914Abstract: A degassing device 2 includes: a built-in absorbance measurement section 28 using an LED light source and measuring the intensity of light transmitted through a mobile phase passing through a flow cell; and a solenoid valve 26 switchable between two states with and without the mobile phase passed through a degassing tube 21. The passage-switching operation by the solenoid valve is performed so as to obtain detection signals of the transmitted light in the absorbance measurement section when the mobile phase drawn from a mobile phase container by a liquid-feeding pump 40 is passed through the degassing tube for degassing as well as when the mobile phase is not passed through the degassing tube for degassing. A signal processor 29 calculates the difference in absorbance based on those detection signals, estimates the degree of degassing based on that difference, and displays the result on a display unit 32.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventors: Kumiko Jingu, Keisuke Ogawa, Masato Watanabe, Yusuke Nagai, Masanori Fujiwara, Tomoyuki Yamazaki

Publication number: 20160313248Abstract: Light emitted from a light casting unit 1 including an LED as its light source is cast into a sample cell 2, and a photodetector 3 is placed at a position where the resultant passing light can be detected. The LED is driven to blink, and a data extracting section 71 extracts data obtained in a period in which the LED is turned on, as data (absorbance data) in which absorption of light by the sample solution is reflected. Moreover, in the case where a fluorescent component is contained in the sample solution, fluorescent light is emitted by the cast light serving as excitation light. Even after the excitation light ceases, the emission of the fluorescent light continues for a short time, and hence the data extracting section 71 extracts data obtained immediately after the LED is turned off, as data (fluorescence data) in which the fluorescent light is reflected.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2016Publication date: October 27, 2016Applicant: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventors: Yusuke NAGAI, Keisuke OGAWA, Masato WATANABE, Kumiko JINGU, Masanori FUJIWARA, Tomoyuki YAMAZAKI

Patent number: 8226201Abstract: The ejection positions of a plurality of pre-processing agent ejection nozzles and the ejection positions of a plurality of ink ejection nozzles as seen in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction of a recording medium are in a one-to-one correspondence with each other. A controller causes the process of ejecting ink of a first color from the ink ejection nozzles onto the recording medium subjected to the ejection from the plurality of pre-processing agent ejection nozzles so as to form a failure detection printing pattern which is a printing pattern formed by providing a time lag between the processes of ejecting the ink from adjacent ones of the plurality of ink ejection nozzles. An ejection failure in the pre-processing agent ejection nozzles is detected by judging that a pre-processing agent ejection nozzle corresponding to a region where bleeding results suffers the ejection failure.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2009Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Dainippon Screen MFG Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryuhei Sumida, Masanori Fujiwara
