Patent number: 7829848Abstract: A gas monitoring apparatus includes a sample introducing portion, a measurement portion, an ionization portion, a mass analysis portion, a data processing portion and a display. The sample introducing portion introduces a sample gas including an object material to be measured. The measurement portion measures a concentration of a predetermined coexisting material, which coexists with the object material in the sample gas. The ionization portion ionizes the sample gas. The mass analysis portion analyzes mass of an ion produced by the ionization portion. The data processing portion analyzes signals detected by the mass analysis portion to calculate a concentration of the object material. And the display displays results of analysis conducted by the data processing portion. The data processing portion includes an adjustment portion which adjusts the concentration of the object material according to the concentration of the predetermined coexisting material.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2008Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., National Research Institute of Police ScienceInventors: Yasuaki Takada, Masao Suga, Hisashi Nagano, Izumi Waki, Hidehiro Okada, Tatsuo Nojiri, Yasuo Seto, Yasuhiro Sano, Shigeharu Yamashiro, Isaac Ohsawa

Publication number: 20040028560Abstract: A substance detection method includes the steps of: heating a sample adhered to a substance with a temperature at which the substance is readily vaporized to vapor the substance; sucking air and feeding the sucked air in a direction different from a direction along which the substance is vaporized; negatively ionizing the vapor sucked with the air; and detecting the substance adhered to the sample by analyzing the negative ion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2003Publication date: February 12, 2004Inventors: Katsumi Nagumo, Mitsuhiro Noda, Masayuki Takizawa, Shigenori Morishima, Tatsuo Nojiri, Kosho Aikawa, Naoya Sasaki

Patent number: 5339448Abstract: A microprocessor according to the present invention comprises a sub-read bus, to which output terminals of registers of a register file of the microprocessor are coupled. The sub-read bus is in turn coupled to a main read bus of the microprocessor through a bus output circuit. Upon occurrence of a read access to any of the registers, the bus output circuit couples the sub-read bus with the main read bus, whereby data read out from the registers to the sub-read bus are transmitted to the main read bus, and under no existence of the read access, the bus output circuit interrupts the data transmission from the sub-read bus to the main read bus. With this, a load capacitance of the read bus is reduced. As a result, a time for making access to the read bus is much improved.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1993Date of Patent: August 16, 1994Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Shigeya Tanaka, Masahiro Iwamura, Tatsumi Yamauchi, Tatsuo Nojiri, Hisashi Tada, Tetsuo Nakano
