20150299815 | ORGANIC MATTER PRODUCTION METHOD, ORGANIC MATTER PRODUCTION PROCESS MONITORING METHOD, AND ORGANIC MATTER PRODUCTION PROCESS MONITORING DEVICE - An organic matter production method according to the present invention in which production process status can be more properly monitored includes a first step of acquiring absorbance spectrum of as measurement object in which the amount of the raw material or desired product varies with progress of a production process by receiving transmitted light or diffuse reflected light from the measurement object as a result of broadband light irradiation of the measurement object, a second step of extracting two or more feature values indicative of the characteristics of the measurement object from the absorbance spectrum, and a third step of controlling the production process on the basis of the two or more feature values. | 10-22-2015 |
20160041090 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING FILM, FILM-MANUFACTURING PROCESS MONITOR DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR INSPECTING FILM - A film production method that includes inspecting the film is provided. The inspection includes a spectrum acquisition step and a physical-quantity calculation step. In the spectrum acquisition step, a film that is moved in direction A is irradiated with broadband light in a near infrared region, and diffuse reflected light emitted from the film is received by a light receiving unit, so that a spectrum of the diffuse reflected light is acquired by a spectrum acquisition unit of an analysis unit. In the physical-quantity calculation step, a physical quantity of the film is calculated from the acquired spectrum of the diffuse reflected light. Since the physical quantity can be determined by acquiring the spectrum, the characteristics of the film can be easily determined. In addition, a plurality of pieces of information can be acquired from the spectrum. Therefore, the characteristics of the film can be more accurately determined. | 02-11-2016 |
