  • Patent number: 11403816
    Abstract: A three-dimensional map generation system (500) generates three-dimensional map information (11) by using measured data acquired by a measurement vehicle (200) moving in a measurement area (50). A determination unit (120) determines, from the measurement area (50), a data shortage area where measured data for generating the three-dimensional map falls short, based on first measured data (20) transmitted from the measurement vehicle (200). A generation unit (130) generates interpolated data which interpolates three-dimensional map information of a defective area with a NURBS curve so that a lateral G, which is centrifugal force in a lateral direction applied to a traveling vehicle traveling a road in the defective area at a traveling speed, is equal to or less than a predefined threshold (12).

  • Patent number: 11215627
    Abstract: In conventional automatic analyzers, there have been instances where, when a plurality of associated items are analyzed as a set item, there is high variation in the analysis data obtained using the set item, leading to a need for improvement of analysis precision. The present invention comprises performing, in mutual association, a set of preparation steps to carry out until it is time to analyze an unknown sample, the set of preparation steps including a pre-preparation step in which stirring, etc., is performed when an analysis reagent kit is mounted on the analyzer, and a step for correcting a standard curve in which correction samples that correspond to analysis items are used. This makes it possible to perform analysis after the preparation states of a plurality of analysis reagent kits are collected as needed, enabling high-precision analysis of a set item.

  • Patent number: 11161118
    Abstract: The mixing of reagents with each other in the reagent storage flow paths of an automatic analyzer is suppressed before and after exchange of the reagents, which are capable of being replenished without stopping analysis. An exchangeable reagent container that accommodates a reagent is connected to a reagent storage flow path that stores a portion of the reagent. The reagent storage flow path has first and second flow paths in which the second flow path is branched from the first flow path. A reagent syringe applies a negative or a positive pressure to the first and second flow paths; and a valve controls the flow path through which the reagent is sent. As a result, the reagent supplied to a measurement portion at a predetermined timing is switched from the reagent container to the reagent storage flow path wherein the reagent can be supplied without stopping analysis.
