Patent number: 9519599Abstract: A memory location determining device determines memory locations for storing M pieces of compressed data each of which is compressed from one of M pieces of N-bit data. For each piece of compressed data, the memory location determining device performs a first arithmetic operation on an address value of a corresponding piece of N-bit data, and determines to store X bits of the piece of compressed data and a flag indicating whether or not the piece of compressed data exceeds X bits at a location indicated by the result value of the first arithmetic operation. When the piece of compressed data exceeds X bits, the memory location determining device further performs a second arithmetic operation on the address value of the corresponding piece of N-bit data and determines to store one or more bits of the piece of compressed data other than the X bits.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2013Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventor: Shinya Matsuyama

Patent number: 5162234Abstract: Automatic particle pattern judging method, in which particles to be tested, such as blood cell particles, are delivered into not only a reaction vessel but also a reference vessel, and an amount of the particles delivered into the reference vessel is measured and a judgement whether the particle pattern formed in the reaction vessel is agglutinated or not is conducted by correcting values of a reaction liquid contained in the reaction vessel concerning parameters for the judgement or correcting threshold values, with which the values of the test liquid concerning the parameters should be compared in accordance with the amount of the particles delivered into the reference vessel. Therefore, by the method according to the invention, even when the amount of particles to be tested delivered into the reaction vessel is varied for some reason, it is possible to judge correctly whether the particle pattern is agglutinated or not.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1990Date of Patent: November 10, 1992Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Satoshi Tanaka, Haruhisa Watanabe, Shinya Matsuyama

Patent number: 5116765Abstract: A method for detecting and measuring the image of an agglutination particle pattern produced in a test liquid in which the existence of hemolysis in a test liquid is judged at the same time as an analysis is conducted of particle patterns produced in the test liquid in response to an immunological agglutination reaction. By this method, it is possible to increase the precision of the analysis of the particle pattern by feeding back the result of the judgement of the existence of hemolysis in the test liquid. A reaction apparatus suitable for use in the method according to the invention is also disclosed. In this apparatus, a plurality of wells for containing the test liquid are formed, and a plurality of marks are formed in positions where the marks can be read through the test liquid by an optical system for detecting the particle patterns produced in the test liquid. Therefore, hemolysis existing in the test liquid can be objectively judged.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 1990Date of Patent: May 26, 1992Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Haruhisa Watanabe, Satoshi Tanaka, Shinya Matsuyama
