Abstract: A breath analyzer includes a light source, a gas cell, a detection unit and a data processing unit. The light source emits infrared light of a wavelength band including an absorption line for acetone. A breath containing sample gas is introduced to the gas cell. The infrared light is incident on the gas cell. The detection unit receives transmitted light emerging from the gas cell, and outputs a sample signal value corresponding to an acetone discharge amount. The data processing unit determines an approximation formula of dependence of fat oxidation rate on acetone discharge amount in advance, and calculates a fat oxidation rate for individual sample signal values using the approximation formula. When the acetone discharge amount (microliter/min) is x, the fat oxidation rate (milligram/min) y is approximated by a following formula: y=Ax+B (where A and B are constants).

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a manufacturing apparatus control system includes a defect rate detector, a significant difference tester and a defect determining unit. The defect rate detector extracts a first apparatus passage history having a first defect rate. The defect rate detector detects a third defect rate by excluding a second apparatus passage history having a second defect rate from the first apparatus passage history. The significant difference tester calculates a significant difference test value. The defect determining unit extracts a third apparatus passage history based on the third defect rate and the significant difference test value.
