20090198463 | AUTOMATIC ANALZYER - An object of the present invention is to automatically investigate factors in complicated uncertainty, particularly from the view point of reagents and samples which are subject to quality change and prone to affect the measurement quality. To accomplish the above object, quality control samples having a plurality of concentration levels are measured to calculate the average, coefficient of variation, standard deviation, and other numerical values. When quality control samples having n (n>=2) different concentration levels are measured, the present invention provides the method to presume the factors in uncertainty, the factors being specific to each of 3 | 08-06-2009 |
20110301917 | AUTOMATIC ANALYZER - Abnormality causes are automatically identified during daily quality control, based on the focused consideration of complex uncertainty factors and, especially, of the causes of device-side abnormalities (i.e., abnormalities of the optical system and the dispenser mechanism), the latter of which are often difficult to identify. | 12-08-2011 |
20120064636 | AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS DEVICE AND ANALYSIS METHOD - Provided are an automated analyzer and an automatic analysis method for highly accurately determining presence or absence of abnormality based on reaction process data obtained when concentration of a chemical component or an activity level of an enzyme is measured. The reaction process data is approximated by a function, and shape feature quantities indicating features of a shape of a curve section at an early stage of reaction are calculated. The obtained shape feature quantities are used to determine the presence or absence of abnormality. | 03-15-2012 |
20120065898 | AUTOMATIC ANALYZER - To change a photometric time for each item or to change a measurement time for each specimen so that time required for biochemical measurement can be reduced, an index that indicates an end of a reaction is required. Unfortunately, however, no methods have been available for determining the end of the reaction. In measuring a substance to be measured contained in a sample, a parameter in an approximate expression is calculated using a measured value that changes with time, a degree of convergence of a reaction is determined according to a degree of convergence of the parameter, and a measured value at the end of the reaction is calculated using the parameter at a point in time at which it is determined that the reaction has converged. | 03-15-2012 |
20120109534 | AUTOMATIC ANALYZER AND ANALYSIS METHOD - In known automatic analyzers for detecting an abnormality by approximating reaction process data using a function, accuracy of detecting a reaction abnormality is degraded because of poor approximation accuracy depending on test items. Data processing means stores the absorbance and time of day at which the absorbance is measured as time-series data. Letting x denote absorbance, t denote time, and * denote a symbol representing multiplication, we have a function x=a | 05-03-2012 |
20130046480 | AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS DEVICE AND AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS METHOD - There is provided a technique for automatically determining or predicting a line range specific to a sample that appears in a reaction curve in an automated analyzer for mixing a specimen and a reagent and measuring a change in a mixture of the specimen and the reagent with time. This invention approximates reaction curve data by a function and automatically determines a curve part at an early stage or a second stage of a reaction. The invention determines a line range not including a curve part for each sample and calculates a laboratory test value using absorbance data within the determined line range. This invention also automatically determines a start time of line at the early stage of the reaction on the basis of absorbance data obtained up to a point halfway through the reaction curve, predicts a line range on the basis of the end time of line and a planned end time of line, and calculates a predictive value on the basis of a result of the prediction. | 02-21-2013 |

20130266484 | AUTOMATIC ANALYZER - Realized is an automatic analyzer that allows appropriate setting of analytical parameters which incorporate batch-to-batch variations in characteristics of reagents. The analytical parameters 35, consisting of fixed parameters 37 and variable parameters 38, are stored into a storage unit of the automatic analyzer. The fixed parameters 37 include a reagent-dispensing quantity, a sample-dispensing quantity, measuring wavelength, and the like, each of which becomes a pivot for measurement of a sample, and parameters to be used are selected from an item code and bottle code assigned to a reagent bottle 36. The variable parameters 38 include a linearity check value, a prozone check value, reaction limit absorbance, technical limits, first standard solution absorbance, variation allowable absorbance, and the like, each of which is associated with sample-measurement result checks. The variable parameters 38 have a plurality of versions, and the automatic analyzer has a control unit, which reads bar code information from the reagent bottle and adopts variable parameters of a corresponding version with the item code, the bottle code, and batch information relating to the reagent, as a key. | 10-10-2013 |

20120250896 | AUDIO SIGNAL CONTROLLER - It is determined whether user's operation performed on a control is normal or special operation. A function of increasing or decreasing a value of a parameter assigned to the control is performed if the user's operation is the normal operation. Another function, different from the function of increasing or decreasing a value of a parameter, is performed if the user's operation is the special operation. The control comprises, for example, a touch pad provided with a display device for displaying a current operating position of the control. If a user touches one point of the pad with its finger or touches one point of the pad and then continuously slides its finger on and along the pad, such user's operation is determined to be the normal operation. If the user touches or taps two or more points of the pad, such user's operation is determined to be the special operation. | 10-04-2012 |

20130060364 | SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A MIXER VIA EXTERNAL CONTROLLER - A system includes at least one controller device connectable to a computer where a mixer function is implemented by application software. The controller device includes: a communication interface connectable to the computer; a plurality of faders capable of remote-controlling parameters of channels assigned thereto; a channel shift button; and a bank shift button. The channels assigned to the faders are collectively shifted by one channel in response to an instruction given via the channel shift button, or collectively shifted by the one bank in response to an instruction given via the bank shift button. For each of the controller devices, identification information of the controller device and information of a first channel of all of the assigned channels is stored so that the stored information is used at the time of activation of the software for restoring previous settings stored at the time of last deactivation of the software. | 03-07-2013 |
20130082951 | TOUCH SENSOR, AND CONTROLLER PROVIDED WITH THE TOUCH SENSOR - One electrode and another electrode adjoining an upper end region of the one electrode in an operating direction of a fader sensor are divided by a boundary line extending zigzag in a generally M shape transversely relative to the operating direction, so that upper and lower apex portions of the one electrode and the other electrode bite into each other. Similarly, the one electrode and another electrode adjoining a lower end region of the one electrode each other are divided by a boundary line extending zigzag in a generally M shape transversely relative to the operating direction. As a finger touches the fader sensor, the finger simultaneously touches the three electrodes, and corresponding output signals are output therefrom. A weighted average of the output signals is calculated so that position information of the finger having touched the sensor can be acquired with a high resolution. | 04-04-2013 |
