Patent number: 9448179Abstract: A gas analyzing apparatus includes a gas analyzing unit, a luminescence inducing component generating unit, and a measurement signal calculating unit. The gas analyzing unit receives a sample gas containing a component gas and/or a standard gas and the luminescence inducing gas. The gas analyzing unit is configured to output a detection signal based on an intensity of a reaction light generated by the interaction between the component gas and the luminescence inducing component. The luminescence inducing component generating unit generates the luminescence inducing gas by electric discharge generated repeatedly at specified intervals. The measurement signal calculating unit calculates a first measurement signal based on a first detection signal, based on the reaction light generated when the sample gas and the luminescence inducing gas are introduced, and a second detection signal, based on the reaction light generated when the standard gas and the luminescence inducing gas are introduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2014Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: HORIBA, LTD.Inventors: Yusuke Mizuno, Takuji Oida, Misato Arakawa

Patent number: 8749789Abstract: A gas concentration measuring apparatus for measuring a concentration of a measurement target substance contained in a sample gas includes a light source unit in which a light source is arranged, and a sensor unit that is arranged on an optical path of the light source. The sensor unit includes a concentration measuring sensor configured to receive light from the light source after the light has passed through a sample cell unit and measure a concentration of the measurement target substance. The apparatus further includes an introducing device configured to introduce the sample gas to a vicinity of concentration measuring sensor. Therefore, a vicinity of the concentration measuring sensor is filled with an atmosphere of the sample gas so that a concentration of a measurement target substance contained in the sample gas is measured stably and accurately regardless of fluctuations in an ambient atmosphere of a measuring environment.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Horiba, Ltd.Inventor: Takuji Oida

Patent number: 8302459Abstract: The measurement sensitivity is improved by suppressing the surrounding temperature influence as much as possible, while realizing scale reduction, and by enlarging the detection signal, while reducing the production errors in enclosing a reference gas. Provided is a thermal conductivity sensor that detects thermal conductivity of a sample gas by using a Wheatstone Bridge circuit constructed in such a manner that measurement resistors that are brought into contact with the sample gas are disposed on a first side, and reference resistors that are brought into contact with a reference gas are disposed on a second side, and comparing the potential difference between connection points of the reference resistors and the measurement resistors. The measurement resistors disposed on the first side are assembled in one measurement space, and the reference resistors disposed on the second side are assembled in one reference space.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2010Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: HORIBA, Ltd.Inventors: Makoto Matsuhama, Tomoko Seko, Shuji Takada, Hiroshi Mizutani, Takuji Oida, Masahiko Endo, Takuya Ido
