  • Patent number: 8401810
    Abstract: The present invention provides a scheduling device which can carry out scheduling of process execution periods of time, included in plural pieces of processing target data, respectively. The scheduling device sorts out plural pieces of substance data by looking up a retention time, included in each of the plural pieces of substance data. The scheduling device groups the plural pieces of substance data into a plurality of functions Fn so that pieces of substance data, included in each of the plurality of functions Fn, is successively arrayed in an order resulting from the sorting. Further, the scheduling device finds, for each of the plurality of functions Fn, a function range between a detection start time included in that function Fn and a detection end time included in that function Fn, and groups the plurality of functions Fn into a measurement group(s) In so that an interval between functions Fn included in the same measurement group is more than a condition set in advance.

  • Patent number: 7812184
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a production method of optically active epoxy compound, and a complex used for the production method and a production method of the complex. [Means for solving the problem] The skeleton that is necessary for expressing a high catalyst activity of optically active titanium salan complex of formulae (1) and (1?) and the substituent that is useful therefor and the position of the substituent are identified, and it is found that optically active epoxy compounds can be produced with a high enantioselectivity and a high chemical yield compared with a case where the prior optically active titanium salan complex is used. The production method comprises subjecting a prochiral compound (formula (4), (5) or (6)) having carbon-carbon double bond in the molecule to asymmetric epoxidation to produce an optically active epoxy compound (formula (7), (8) or (9)). The present invention relates also to a complex used for the production method and a production method of the complex.

  • Patent number: 7751556
    Abstract: Data to be encrypted (301) is partially extracted successively. A result of encrypting a previously extracted portion of the data is used to successively calculate that of encrypting the currently extracted portion of the data successively. Successively calculated results of the encryption are used to generate encrypted data (305). In generating the encrypted data, a finally calculated result of the encryption (PF(z+1)) is attached to the generated encrypted data. The finally calculated result is used as falsification detecting data (308) for detecting whether the data to be encrypted is falsified data.
