Patent number: 10260997Abstract: A microorganism concentrator includes a water storage part that stores water sample therein and a filter that partitions the water storage part into a supply side and a drain side for the water sample. The microorganism concentrator concentrates microorganisms that are too large to pass through the filter on the supply side by moving the water sample on the supply side to the drain side of the water storage part. In the microorganism concentrator, the filter is arranged in such a way that no vertically downward force is applied to a surface of the filter on the supply side.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2014Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: SATAKE CORPORATIONInventors: Yasuo Fukuyo, Yukio Hosaka, Akira Eto, Akiko Nakata

Patent number: 9909243Abstract: In one preferred mode, the operator selects by the touch panel 2 a pattern from the displayed patterns on the display 1 and starts the embroidery by operation of the start/stop switch. The CPU 10 is checking the detection signal from the sensor 3 and when the signal is on, the CPU 10 keeps the display 1 in operation. When the operator goes out from the sensor detectable area 60, the signal of the sensor 3 disappears and the CPU 10 generates the LED display 4 indicating the progress of the sewing. Since the operator can see the LED display 4 from the outside of the display visible area 61, the operator recognizes the conditions of the machine A.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2016Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Janome Sewing Machine Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukio Hosaka, Hayato Takada

Patent number: 9279204Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an embroidery cloth presser which prevents a needle thread from being sandwiched between the embroidery cloth presser and a cloth to allow an embroidery frame to move smoothly and which also prevents inappropriate draw-in of the needle thread, that is, prevents a cross-over thread of the needle thread resulting from long-distance movement of the embroidery frame from remaining on an embroidery surface. An embroidery cloth presser is installed on a presser bar of a sewing machine to press a cloth to be embroidered and which includes a projection provided on a bottom surface of the cloth presser which contacts the cloth around a needle and forming, between the cloth presser and the cloth, a gap through which a needle thread passes.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: JANOME SEWING MACHINE CO., LTD.Inventors: Shigeru Tomizawa, Eiichi Shomura, Yukio Hosaka
