Patent number: 11898908Abstract: An Attenuated total reflection measuring apparatus capable of Raman spectral measurement has an infrared optical instrument and a Raman module. The infrared optical instrument is disposed on an ATR prism side of a sample, and is provided to irradiate the ATR prism with an infrared light, and collect the infrared light from the ATR prism. The Raman module is disposed on a side opposite to the ATR prism side relative to the sample, and has a guide tube that outputs an excitation light from an excitation light source to the sample, and a lens portion disposed inside thereof. An end of the guide tube is in a position to push the sample to the ATR prism. The Raman module has a lens position adjustment mechanism that moves the lens portion along an optical axis, and a spectroscope that detects a Raman scattering light collected by the lens portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: JASCO CORPORATIONInventors: Masateru Usuki, Yoshiko Kubo, Daisuke Dogomi, Kento Aizawa, Tsutomu Inoue

Patent number: 9110422Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a process unit arranged in the vicinity of the circumference of each photosensitive member and the process unit is configured to act on the photosensitive member in forming a toner image thereon. The image forming apparatus detects a time period since a laser beam emission unit emits a laser beam to the photosensitive member to form an electrostatic latent image for detection until the formed electrostatic latent image for detection or a toner image based on the electrostatic latent image for detection reaches the process unit, and performs color misregistration correction control based on the result of detection. In this case, a control unit at least decreases the light amount of a pre-exposure LED when the electrostatic latent image for detection passes through a position facing the pre-exposure LED.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2015Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroshi Hagiwara, Takamitsu Soda, Akinobu Hirayama, Hiromitsu Kumada, Yoshiko Kubo, Takateru Ohkubo

Publication number: 20070224282Abstract: An effective and simple process for producing a fine dispersion of a poorly soluble drug; and a fine sparingly-soluble-drug dispersion having excellent dispersion stability. In a first step, a poorly soluble drug is suspended in a liquid containing no deflocculant and the suspension is subjected to a high-pressure treatment with a high-pressure homogenizer. In a second step, a deflocculant is added to the dispersion obtained in the first step and this dispersion is subjected to a deagglomeration treatment such as a high-pressure treatment with a high-pressure homogenizer or an ultrasonic treatment. Thus, a fine dispersion of the poorly soluble drug is effectively and simply produced in which the size of the particles dispersed is on the order of nanometer. The fine sparingly-soluble-drug dispersion produced has excellent dispersion stability and the fine particles of the poorly soluble drug do not suffer aggregation/sedimentation even upon standing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2005Publication date: September 27, 2007Applicant: TOYAMA CHEMICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshiko Kubo, Tetsumi Yamakawa, Yasuomi Yamasaki
