Abstract: In conventional Al coated steel sheet, with the Al coating as it is, black discoloration cannot be prevented at 550° C. or more. For this reason, post annealing is used to form a barrier layer and suppress the formation of Fe—Al intermetallic compounds. However, with this method, there were the problems that the steel sheet became poor in workability and, further, high temperature, long time heating was required, so there were problems from the workability, economy, and environmental aspect. The present invention provides steel sheet which has a heat black discoloration resistance even at a 550° C. or more high temperature without additional annealing after Al coating and further is excellent in workability. That is, it is hot dip Al coated steel sheet which comprises steel sheet which contains predetermined ingredients of C, Si, P, S, Al, N, and O plus one or both of furthermore Ni: 0.01 to 0.1% or Cu: 0.01 to 0.1% and satisfies 10×C+Ni+Cu>0.

Abstract: Data for a plurality of samples collected by an LC/MS, GC/MS or other systems are converted into a two-dimensional table format without losing information and with a light load, thereby allowing a multivariate analysis processing to be efficiently performed. After LC/MS data on a plurality of samples are obtained and the respective extracted ion chromatograms (XICs) are created (S1 and S2), the correction of the retention-time difference, the waveform processing and the like are performed (S3 and S4), followed by the creation of a one-dimensional table in which the signal-strength values are arranged for each XIC. Then, one-dimensional tables of a plurality of XICs for one sample are joined together in order of m/z value to create an elongate one-dimensional table (S5). The elongate one-dimensional tables of a plurality of samples are arranged in another dimensional direction to obtain a two-dimensional table (S6).

Abstract: A product ion spectrum is created on the basis of MS2 analysis data respectively obtained for a parent compound and a metabolite (S1 and S2). Additionally, a neutral loss spectrum, in which the mass of each product ion is replaced with a mass difference between the mass of the product ion and that of a precursor ion, is created (S3). Then, a common peak having the same mass in both the parent compound and the metabolite is extracted (S4), and a complementary peak appearing at a position corresponding to the difference between the mass of the common peak and that of the precursor ion is extracted (S5); the complementary peak corresponding to a common peak located on the product ion spectrum appears on the neutral loss spectrum, while the complementary peak corresponding to a common peak located on the neutral loss spectrum appears on the product ion spectrum.

Abstract: Ions originating from sample components are made to fly along a loop orbit (P) multiple times, and are deviated from the loop orbit (P) when a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the ejection of the ions. A time-of-flight spectrum recording unit (81) creates a time-of-flight spectrum based on the detected signal. If an overtaking of ions occurs on the loop orbit (P), the number of turns of peaks (ions) appearing on the spectrum cannot be determined. Given this factor, an isotopic peak detector (82) finds an isotopic peak group based on the time intervals and intensity ratio of a plurality of peaks appearing on the spectrum. A flight distance computation unit 83 uses the fact that the mass difference between adjacent peaks belonging to an isotopic peak group is 1 Da when ions are singly-charged, and computes the flight distance based on a predetermined formula.

Abstract: A variety of ions generated in an ion source are made to fly while bypassing a loop orbit and mass analyzed to create a mass spectrum. Among the peaks appearing on the mass spectrum, peaks complying with predetermined conditions are extracted to determine a plurality of mass ranges to be measured (S1 through S3). Next, the ion selection conditions for the timing when ions should be injected into the loop orbit and on the loop orbit are determined for each mass range. In addition, deviation conditions under which selected ions will not be mixed are determined (S4 and S5). When the second measurement is performed for the same sample, ions are put into the loop orbit and unnecessary ions are removed from the loop orbit in accordance with the ion selection conditions (S6 and S7). Thus, only the ions to be measured are left on the loop orbit with a high mass resolving power.

Abstract: From the data obtained by an LC/MS analysis in which an automatic MSn analysis is performed, all MS2 spectrum data are collected (S1), and a data matrix is created whose elements are peak intensity data with different precursor ions being arrayed in the horizontal direction and the mass-to-charge ratio of the product ions in the vertical direction (S2). By using the data in this data matrix, the correlation coefficients between two precursor ions are computed to create a correlation coefficient matrix (S3). In the correlation coefficient matrix, the diagonal elements whose value is “1” are all replaced by “0” to create an adjacency matrix (S4). A network analysis is performed for the adjacency matrix to create a network map showing the correlations among different precursor ions (MS2spectra) (S5).

Abstract: A chromatograph mass spectrometer is provided for obtaining the information pertinent to a structural analysis, with a simple operation, on a compound series including a plurality of compounds whose structures and characters are similar. First, based on the data obtained by a normal LC/MS analysis, a two-dimensional isointensity line graph is created and displayed with a retention time and a mass-to-charge ratio on the two axes and with a signal intensity represented in contour (S1 and S2). When the operator specifies a desired range by a drag operation or the like by a mouse (S3), peaks included in the range specified are extracted and based on the peaks, precursor ions are selected (S4 through S6). Then a schedule is created so that an MS2 analysis is performed for the precursor ions selected in the course of an LC/MS analysis for the sample to be targeted (S7).

Abstract: When a target substance's composition formula is deduced by using a mass spectrometer, if the target substance's composition formula is deduced based on an MSn spectrum and candidates are found, a composition formula candidate list including all the composition formula candidates is created, and the list is displayed in a list format. The composition formula candidates are narrowed down based on the MSn spectrum by an MS2 analysis or MS3 analysis. If there is a candidate to be excluded, the composition formula candidate list is updated, and the excluded candidate is moved to the exclusion list. Accompanying this, a composition formula candidate table is displayed in a list format on the display window. In this table, the composition formula candidates included in the exclusion list and the remaining composition formula candidates in the composition formula candidate list are simultaneously displayed with different colors so that they are visually discriminable.

Abstract: A chromatograph mass analysis data processing method for obtaining pertinent information on a compound series including a plurality of compounds whose structures and characters are similar. Based on the data obtained by a chromatograph mass analysis, a two-dimensional isointensity line graph is created and displayed with a retention time and a mass-to-charge ratio on the two axes and with a signal intensity represented with a contour. When the operator specifies a desired range, the data contained in the range specified are collected, the signal intensities along the mass-to-charge ratio axis direction are summed up for every retention time to create a summed mass chromatogram based on the summed value. Simultaneously, the signal intensities along the retention time axis direction are summed up for every mass-to-charge ratio to create a summed mass spectrum based on the summed value. These are then displayed on the same screen of the isointensity line graph.

Abstract: A mass analysis is initially performed while applying appropriate voltages to the electrodes so that ions injected through an entrance gate electrode (5) into a loop orbit (3) are guided through approximately one half of the loop orbit (3) and diverted at an exit gate electrode (6) toward an ion detector (7). Based on the intensities of the peaks appearing on a mass spectrum obtained by this mass analysis, one or more objective ions are selected and a time parameter is specified so that the voltage applied to the exit gate electrode (6) changes when none of the ions flying along the loop orbit (3) are passing through the exit gate electrode (6). As a result, the orbit of the objective ions will assuredly changed so that they will be directed toward the ion detector (7) after flying through the loop orbit (3) multiple times. Thus, the mass information of the objective ions can be assuredly obtained.

A plurality of basic ion optical systems (2) are placed in such a manner as to be mutually separated at predetermined intervals in the direction approximately orthogonal to their planes. The ion ejection slit (16) of the lower-stage basic ion optical system (2) and the ion injection slit (15) of the next-stage basic ion optical system (2) are connected to each other via another basic ion optical system (3) in which the temporal focusing of the ions is ensured. Accordingly, the flight distance can be elongated while assuredly achieving the temporal focusing of the ions as an entire ion optical system (1), and a three-dimensional space can be efficiently utilized to compactify the ion optical system (1).

Abstract: When the analyzer provides the mass and composition formula of the product ion, which is probably produced in the process of a dissociation, through the input unit, based on known information, a composition formula list is created in the database. When a product ion is obtained in an MSn analysis, the data processor checks whether or not the ion's mass exists in the composition formula list, and in the case where it does, the composition formula corresponding to the mass is determined. Then, based the mass difference between the precursor ion and product ion or other factors, the precursor ion's composition formula is deduced, and if it is possible to ultimately narrow down the candidates for the target ion's composition formula, the analysis is terminated. Accordingly, if the composition formula list is available, the refinement operation for the candidates for the composition formula can be omitted.
