  • Patent number: 11921094
    Abstract: Liquid sent by a liquid sending pump flows through an analysis flow path. A sample is injected into the analysis flow path. A separation column is provided in the analysis flow path. A sample injected in the separation column is separated into components, and sample components obtained by separation are detected by a detector. The number of liquid sending pumps and a connection structure of the liquid sending pumps connected to the analysis flow path are specified by a system configuration specifier as a system configuration. A condition for detecting a liquid sending failure in a liquid sending pump that is preset for each type of system configuration is held by a condition holder. A condition corresponding to a system configuration is determined from conditions held by the condition holder. A liquid sending failure in a liquid sending pump is detected with use of the determined condition.

  • Publication number: 20210207160
    Abstract: A gene that controls epidermal bladder cell formation is isolated and identified. Specifically, a gene involved in an epidermal bladder cell formation control action is identified by: recognizing that a plant body with remarkably reduced epidermal bladder cells appears by performing EMS mutagenesis treatment on seeds; and comparing genomic DNA of the mutant and wild-type genomic DNA.

  • Patent number: 11043769
    Abstract: A first inner housing and a second inner housing are combined to form a combined inner housing, in which the first inner housing having a plurality of mutually independent insertion holes is formed of a first dielectric or an electric conductor, and the second inner housing having a plurality of mutually independent terminal-housing chambers is formed of a second dielectric. Terminals of a twisted-pair cable are inserted and housed one-to-one in the terminal-housing chambers of the combined inner housing. The twist-released sections of sheathed cables of the twisted-pair cable are inserted and housed one-to-one in the insertion holes of the combined inner housing. The combined inner housing is covered with a shield member, and the combined inner housing and the shield member are housed in an outer housing.

  • Patent number: 9472890
    Abstract: A connector for cable connection having good connection workability is provided. A waterproof connector for cable connection includes a housing having a cylindrical portion for allowing a cable to which a terminal is connected to be attached thereto, a waterproof bushing, a cover member, and a clamp member. In a state that the cable is attached to the housing through the cylindrical portion, a front portion of the bushing is elastically attached to the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion, and a rear portion of the bushing is elastically attached to the outer periphery of the cable. The cover member has an attachment portion for the clamp member. The clamp member attached to the attachment portion clamps the cable.
