Patent number: 10520479Abstract: In a liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LC/MS) for performing mass spectrometry of fractionated samples prepared with a multi-dimensional LC or similar LC with high separatory capability, fractionated sample useful information which shows the degree of usefulness of various substances with respect to retention time is prepared from prior information which includes, for example, elution characteristics in the LC depending on the kind of column or other factors or the degree of ease of ionization in the MS. During a measurement, the preparative separation of an eluate and the preparation of fractionated samples are not performed within a period of time which has been judged to be useless based on the fractionated sample useful information. By selecting fractionated samples at each dimension of the multi-dimensional LC, the number of fractionated samples to be eventually subjected to mass spectrometry can be significantly reduced.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2014Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventors: Shinichi Utsunomiya, Yusaku Hioki, Yuki Ohta

Patent number: 8155889Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for assessing the degree of reliability of a nucleic acid base sequence, by which a higher-accuracy assessment result of the degree of reliability can be obtained as compared to a case where the degree of reliability is assessed based on only the evaluation of analytical data. The method includes the steps: (A) when measured data is processed into analytical data, computing a processing evaluation value E1i for evaluating quality of measured data of an i-th base and contents of processing having been performed on the measured data of the i-th base; (B) computing an analytical data evaluation value E2i of the i-th base based on the processed analytical data; and (C) computing a degree of reliability by a predetermined calculation formula using the processing evaluation value E1i and the analytical data evaluation value E2i.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2006Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Shimadzu CorporationInventors: Shinichi Utsunomiya, Makoto Hazama

Patent number: 7424628Abstract: A power saving of a serial interface circuit decreases the unnecessary power consumption of a serial interface circuit, while decreasing the return time and expanding the power saving range. Gates are disposed for stopping the clock supply to a digital portion of the interface circuit while maintaining operation of clock sources in the digital portions. Therefore a quick shift to and return from the power save mode by stopping and restarting clocks is implemented, which further decreases power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2004Date of Patent: September 9, 2008Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Kazunari Matsumoto, Hirohide Sugahara, Katsuhiko Takeuchi, Shinichi Utsunomiya, Sumie Matsubayashi, Nobuyuki Myouga

Patent number: 5742842Abstract: A slave processor for executing for example a vector operation is connected to a master processor. A vector length for a vector operation set to the slave processor can be changed without intervention of the master processor. When the master processor activates the slave processor, the slave processor outputs a busy signal immediately (at most one cycle later). The master processor reads the value of a busy register representing a busy/ready status of the slave processor in a slave access cycle at highest speed (in two cycles at most). Regardless of whether the master processor and the slave processor was designed as series products or general purpose products, they can be effectively connected.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1996Date of Patent: April 21, 1998Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Seiji Suetake, Hideyuki Iino, Koichi Hatta, Tatsuya Nagasawa, Koichi Kuroiwa, Hiroyuki Fujiyama, Kenji Shirasawa, Noriko Kadomaru, Shinichi Utsunomiya, Makoto Miyagawa

Patent number: 5644748Abstract: An index buffer circuit and a translation look-aside buffer (TLB) are provided in an address unit of a vector processor unit. The index buffer circuit incudes a plurality of buffers, an input pointer generating unit for generating an input control signal indicating which selected buffer in a buffer portion, index data shall be stored, and an output pointer generating unit for outputting a control signal indicated from which selected buffer in the buffer portion output data is to be read. The TLB translates a logical address to a physical address upon receipt of the output from the index buffer. The TLB has a least recently used (LRU) flag register which can maintain the priority even if the entries are reset and thus the entries of the TLB can be used as buffers when the vector processor unit operates as a bus slave.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 1993Date of Patent: July 1, 1997Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Shinichi Utsunomiya, Hideyuki Iino, Noriko Kadomaru, Makoto Miyagawa
