Latest Patents

Takahashi’s listed recent inventions address light-source power management and photochemical processing.

- **Power supply device.** This invention describes a power supply for a light-source device with multiple light-emitting bodies. It combines current-control circuitry with a cooling component and a heat-transfer component, while an insulating component separates the heat-transfer component from the control circuit. The design brings together electrical control and thermal management within the light-source device.

- **Photochemical reaction device, photochemical reaction method using same, and lactam production method.** This invention places two transparent partitions between a light source and a reaction liquid, with a transparent fluid introduced and discharged between the partitions. A detection mechanism monitors changes in the fluid at the discharge side. The described arrangement is intended to help maintain light-source performance if a transparent partition is damaged and to reduce ignition risk when the reaction liquid is flammable. The device supports a photochemical reaction method and a lactam production method.
