  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11165919
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a communication section, an operation section, a sound generating section, and a control section. The communication section is communicably connected to an external terminal. The operation section is operated by the external terminal. The sound generating section generates sound when the operation section is operated. The control section controls the sound generating section. The operation section has an operation accepting section that accepts an operation by an operator. The control section determines whether the operation section is operated by the external terminal or operated by the operator when the operation section is operated. When determining that the operation section is operated by the external terminal, the control section prohibits generation of sound by the sound generating section. When determining that the operation section is operated by the operator, the control section permits the generation of the sound by the sound generating section.
