PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve an S/N ratio without saturating a detector signal. SOLUTION: A sample is not introduced into a burner 3. The signal voltage, which is detected by a photomultiplier tube 8 in all of combinations, which can be respectively set with respect to the flow rate of C 2 H 2 , the kind of a flame, the slit width of the slit in a spectroscope 6 and a wavelength to be spectrally diffracted, and input to an A/D converter 11, is preliminarily stored in a memory 15. The mu-factor of the photomultiplier tube 8 is adjusted by a negative high voltage adjusting device 18 corresponding to respective measuring conditions when measuring the sample, or the mu-factor of the detector signal in an amplifier 10 is adjusted to set to the optimum detector signal voltage to perform measurement. By this constitution, even in a case that the signal voltage of a detector is increased upon the reception of the effect of the radiation from the flame F on the burner 3, the detector signal voltage is not saturated and measurement of a good S/N ratio becomes possible.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a circuit malfunction caused by undesired noises generated by electric discharge between relay contacts when turning on or off a hollow cathode lamp. SOLUTION: A switch circuit 11 for applying high voltage onto the hollow cathode lamp 17 is composed of a high voltage-proof FET 15 and a photocoupler 12 of an LED / photodiode array coupling type. The high voltage-proof FET 15 is available at a relatively low price because of having a N channel-type structure, and a control circuit 10 can be insulated from the FET 15 applied with the high voltage by the photocoupler 12, thereby increasing its safety. The electric discharge does not occur when the FET 15 is turned on and off, and of course, spike-like noises are not generated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To construct a complete safety mechanism without malfunction even with an inexpensive sensor by forcibly creating a non-safety state, detecting the non-safety state by a safety monitoring device to confirm the normal operation, and inhibiting the use of a flanae when it is confirmed that the safety monitoring device is not operated normally. SOLUTION: A microprocessor(MP) 1 controls a C2H2, air inlet electromagnetic valve 12, and mixed gas is burnt by a burner 21. An output signal from a pressure switch 14 for air is transmitted to MP1 through an input circuit 3, and the status of the pressure switch 14 is confirmed at the signal level. In the case where it is already in the pressurized state, the valve 12 is closed, an air outlet solenoid valve 16 is opened to create the pressure lowering state. When the pressure is lowered, and it is confirmed by MP1 that a gas pressure monitoring device is normally operated, the information is stored in a storage device 2. When according to an output signal from the pressure switch 14, the pressure lowering state is not recognized by MP1, the failure of the pressure switch 14 is taken to inhibit the use of a flame.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an atomic absorption photometer in which the stability of the baseline of a double-beam optical system is realized and in which an S/N ratio corresponding to a single-beam optical system can be achieved without performing a special operation. SOLUTION: A photometer is constituted so as to be provided with a double- beam optical system in which a sample beam 22 passing an atomization part 2 and a reference beam 23 are changed over by a chopper mirror 5. In this case, when a control means 16 is installed, a double-beam photometeric operation by both beams 22, 23 is performed in an idling operation, the intensity of the reference beam 23 measured in an idling operation just before a measurement is stored in a storage means 17, and a single-beam photometeric operation is performed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize a noise from reference side due to fluctuation of reflection light path accompanied with rotation of a chopper mirror while compensating a change in illuminance of light source. SOLUTION: An incident light flux 21 from a light source is divided into a sample-side light flux 22 and a reference-side light flux 23 on a half mirror 1. The former passes through an atomizing part 2 and arrives at a chopper mirror 5, and the latter passes through mirrors 3 and 4 and arrives at the chopper mirror 5. Both are combined again by the chopper mirror 5, and only an objective length element is selected therefrom by a spectrometer 7, and it is converted into an electric signal through a detector 8 and amplified through an amplifier 9. Then it is synchronized with a signal from a photo interrupter 6 and divided into sample- and reference-side signals by a changeable switch 10, and a high-frequency element in the sample-side signal is removed by a sample-side low pass filter 11 and is changed into a sample-side signal 25, and a high-frequency element in the reference-side signal is removed by a blocking frequency lower than the sample side through a reference-side low pass filter 12 and is changed into a reference-side signal 26.

SOLUTION: The atomic absorption photometer is provided with: supply channels 13, 14, 17 for supplying a combustion gas or a supporting gas to a burner 15; on/off valves 11, 12, 16 set up at the supply channels 13, 14, 17; pressure switches 19, 23 connected to the supply channels 13, 14 between the on/off valves 11, 12, 16 and the burner 15; and a delay time measurement means 6 for measuring delay time until the output of the pressure switches 19, 23 changes after opening or closing the on/off valves 11, 12, 16. Further, the atomic absorption photometer is provided with: an inspection means 31 for inspecting the fault of the pressure switches 19, 23 by comparing the delay time with appropriate delay time; and an interlock means 32 for controlling the lighting and extinguishment of the burner, based on the inspection result.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain a large S/N ratio while stabilizing a base line, in a double beam type atomic absorption spectrophotometer. SOLUTION: A pulse-like signal is inputted from a photosensor 17 into a control circuit 5. When pulse interval time comes to a fixed value or more, and a signal is inputted from the control circuit 5 to a switch circuit 6 in an intermediate time point between the pulses to supply electric power from a driving electric power source 7 to an electromagnet 19. A slit disk 20 is made of a magnetic material, the disk 20 is attracted with the electromagnet 19 appearing instantaneously by supplying the electric power to the electromagnet 19, and a chopper mirror 1 is stopped thereby. Only sample light gets incident all the time in a measuring part at that time. The chopper mirror 1 is positioned by an electromagnetic force system hereinbefore, but the chopper mirror 1 is allowed to be positioned efficiently by another system wherein re-electrification is carried out for a specified time to rotate a motor 3 after the motor 3 stops naturally.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a high wavelength trueness with use of an inexpensive mechanism part. SOLUTION: In the method for calibrating a wavelength, the periodicity of angle trueness errors of a rotary driving mechanism is measured beforehand (S1). Single or a plurality of light sources for radiating a bright-line spectrum group of a smaller wavelength distance than a wavelength distance corresponding to a half angle distance of a minimum cycle are prepared (S2, S3). A wavelength in the vicinity of the bright-line spectrum is scanned with use of the light sources and a conversion table of theoretically calculated wavelengths and the number of driving pulses of a stepping motor (S4, S5). The number of actual pulses when a subject bright line is obtained is obtained corresponding to a wavelength of the bright line and stored in an internal RAM (S6). When a necessary measurement is completed for all bright lines, a calibration formula for calibrating the number of pulses is calculated on the basis of the data and stored (S8, S9). In an actual spectrometry, the number of pulses to a desired wavelength is obtained with use of the conversion table and calibration formula.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an inexpensive and compact device which dose not need a power source in another system by using a phototransistor for a sensor for monitoring flame. SOLUTION: When flame is ignited, a phototransistor 21 turns into an on- state. Then as a collector current is passed through a load resistance, a collector terminal turns into a low level. Reversely, when flame is not present, the phototransistor 21 turns into an off-state and the collector terminal turns into a high level. As the collector terminal of the phototransistor 21 turns into a high level when frame is not ignited or blown out due to imperfect adjustment to the flow rate of gas, etc., signals from the collector terminal are sent to a microprocessor 1 through an input circuit 2. The microprocessor 1 closes a solenoid valve 11 for combustion gas and a solenoid valve 12 for supporting gas to halt the supply of gas.
