  • Patent number: 10475953
    Abstract: A passage (3) for a sample solution is formed in a sapphire base body (2) used as a substrate for semiconductor devices. An LED (4) and a photodiode (5) are formed on the base body (2) by a semiconductor manufacturing process so that they face each other across the passage (3). The LED (4) emits light into the base body (2). This light is transmitted through the sample solution in the passage (3), undergoing absorption according to the concentration and other properties of the solution. The transmitted light passes through the base body (2) and reaches the photodiode (5), producing a detection signal corresponding to the incident light amount. Since the light source and photodetector are integrated with the base body (2) serving as a flow cell, the present device is small and lightweight. Furthermore, no cumbersome task of aligning optical axes in the device-assembling process is needed.

  • Patent number: 10475572
    Abstract: A magnetic material is pressure-molded using dies into a compact having an H-shaped cross section, constituted by a pair of flange parts that are facing each other and a web part connecting the pair of flange parts. Next, a cured product of the compact is turned around a rotational shaft passing through the center parts of the principal faces of the flange parts, and the web part is ground, to form a drum-type ground product having a pair of flange parts on both ends of a shaft part in a manner facing each other. Then, the ground product is heat-treated to obtain a drum core of a magnetic body. On the drum core, terminal electrodes are provided and a conductive wire with sheath is wound around the shaft part, after which an exterior part is given, to obtain a coil component.

  • Publication number: 20190096561
    Abstract: In a stepwise structure formed in a multilayer coil component, a difference occurs in a shrinkage amount between a maximum film thickness portion in which the number of layers is large and a minimum film thickness portion in which the number of layers is small due to portions different in the number of layers of coil parts (that is, upper coil part, lower coil part, and connecting part) adjacent to each other like the maximum film thickness portion and the minimum film thickness portion, readily causing a crack by an inner stress due to the difference in the shrinkage amount. In a multilayer coil component according to the present disclosure, a stress relaxation part overlapping with a maximum film thickness portion whose shrinkage amount is large is provided to relax inner stress in a stepwise structure, resulting in prevention of a crack.

  • Patent number: 10126229
    Abstract: Measurement light is cast from a light-casting unit into a flow cell. The light is repeatedly reflected at an outer surface of the flow cell. A detecting unit including a connecting element and a photodetector element is provided in contact with the outer surface of the flow cell. Since the connecting element is made of a material whose refractive index is higher than that of the wall of the flow cell, the light is extracted from the flow cell at the contact position of the connecting element, to be detected by the photodetector element. A shift of the attachment position of the detecting unit along the axis of the flow cell changes the optical path length of the measurement light. A high-sensitivity absorption measurement can be performed by controlling the optical path length by merely changing the attachment position of the detecting unit, without replacing the flow cell.

  • Publication number: 20180246060
    Abstract: A rectangular cylindrical drift cell is formed by bonding four resistive film layer members in which a resistive film layer having a uniform film thickness is formed on a surface of a plate member formed of an insulator of alumina or the like through a coating method or a vapor deposition. A predetermined voltage is applied from a drift voltage generator to the resistive film layers of both ends of the drift cell so that an accelerating electric field having a linear potential gradient is formed along a center axis (C) in a desolvation region and a drift region inside the drift cell. Ions are drifted by the accelerating electric field and are separated in response to the ion mobility.

  • Patent number: 10041914
    Abstract: A degassing device 2 includes: a built-in absorbance measurement section 28 using an LED light source and measuring the intensity of light transmitted through a mobile phase passing through a flow cell; and a solenoid valve 26 switchable between two states with and without the mobile phase passed through a degassing tube 21. The passage-switching operation by the solenoid valve is performed so as to obtain detection signals of the transmitted light in the absorbance measurement section when the mobile phase drawn from a mobile phase container by a liquid-feeding pump 40 is passed through the degassing tube for degassing as well as when the mobile phase is not passed through the degassing tube for degassing. A signal processor 29 calculates the difference in absorbance based on those detection signals, estimates the degree of degassing based on that difference, and displays the result on a display unit 32.
