Patent number: 8009286Abstract: A light source section outputs optical flux having two types of wavelength, which are a short wavelength and a long wavelength, while the intensity is made variable. The output from the first light intensity detecting section in irradiating the optical flux having a short wavelength is compared with the output from the first light intensity detecting section in irradiating the optical flux having a long wavelength. A disappearance level near a point where the detected signal from the internal subject disappears is calculated. The first intensity of optical flux having a long wavelength is set to level higher than the disappearance level. Based on the output from the first light intensity detecting section obtained by the optical flux having a long wavelength of the first intensity, a subject inside the body to be detected is measured.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2007Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha TopconInventors: Hisashi Isozaki, Takehiro Takase, Takashi Kakinuma, Hiroyuki Maekawa, Fumio Koda, Michihiro Yamazaki

Patent number: 7352461Abstract: A particle detecting method which is capable of detecting the number of low-speed particles accurately, and a storage medium storing a program for implementing the method. Intensity of scattered light generated when a light emitted into a gas stream is scattered by a particle is measured using a light receiving sensor at predetermined time intervals. A measuring time period for measuring the scattered light intensity is divided into measurement periods each defined as a predetermined time period, and a measured time point in each measurement period is selected at which a maximum value of the scattered light intensity measured is measured. The number of particles having passed by in front of the light receiving sensor is counted based on the measured time point selected in each measurement period.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2005Date of Patent: April 1, 2008Assignees: Tokyo Electron Limited, Kabushiki Kaisha TOPCONInventors: Susumu Saito, Hisashi Isozaki, Takashi Kakinuma, Noritaka Nishioka, Akira Noda

Patent number: 6817349Abstract: A control system for a compression ignition internal combustion engine is provided which is capable of expanding a region for executing compression ignition, on the low-load side, while positively obtaining a required power output from the engine. The amount of residual combustion gas is determined depending on operating conditions of the engine, and based on the determined amount of residual combustion gas, part of combustion gas is retained in each combustion chamber after combustion. It is judged whether or not supercharging of fresh air should be executed for self-ignition, based on the operating conditions of the engine, and when it is judged that the supercharging should be executed, supercharging of fresh air flowing to the combustion chamber is executed.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2003Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Moriyoshi Awasaka, Takashi Kakinuma, Junji Yasuda, Yasuhiro Urata
