Patent number: 11327058Abstract: A peak detecting method according to the present invention includes a first peak detecting step (S1) of detecting, with a first detection sensitivity, one or more peaks in object data whose peak is to be detected; and a second peak detecting step (S5) of detecting one or more peaks in the object data with a second detection sensitivity that is different from the first detection sensitivity. With this method, since two kinds of detection are performed at the different detection sensitivities, a shoulder peak (or a non-shoulder peak) candidate can be chosen from peaks that are detected with one of the detection sensitivities but are not detected with the other detection sensitivity, and thus, a shoulder peak can be appropriately detected with ease.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2016Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventor: Shinji Kanazawa

Patent number: 11302039Abstract: A model constructed by a training process using the technique of deep learning using the training data including images created from a large number of chromatograms and correct peak information is previously stored in a trained model storage section. When chromatogram data for a target sample acquired with an LC measurement unit are inputted, an image creator converts the chromatogram into an image and creates an input image in which one of the two areas divided by the chromatogram curve as the boundary in the image is filled. A peak position estimator inputs the pixel values of the input image into a trained model using a neural network, and obtains the position information of the starting point and/or ending point of the peak and a peak detection confidence as the output. A peak determiner determines the starting point and/or ending point of each peak based on the peak detection confidence.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: SHIMADZU CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi Osoekawa, Yusuke Hida, Yuzi Kanazawa, Shinji Kanazawa, Yohei Yamada, Hiroyuki Yasuda, Akihiro Kunisawa, Hidetoshi Terada
