Abstract: An electrical cartridge (1) for measuring blood coagulation includes at least: a container (11) having an opening portion (111) and a sample holding portion (112); a lid (12) including a sealing portion (121) configured to seal with at least part of the sample holding portion (112) and a shaft portion (122) extending from the sealing portion (121), wherein the container (11) is configured to engage with the lid (12) when the sealing portion (121) seals with the at least part of the sample holding portion (112); an electrode (13) secured to the sample holding portion (112); and at least one spring (123) configured to generate a pressing force on at least a portion of the lid (12) when the container (11) and the lid (12) are engaged, the pressing force being generated in a direction in which the lid (12) extends.

Abstract: A contact structure body for use in a measuring device. The contact structure includes a separator that physically separates a sample holder from a measuring circuit, and a contact probe configured to electrically connect an electrode of the sample holder to the measuring circuit, the contact probe comprising. The contact structure body may be part of a system for determining a characteristic of a sample. The system includes a sample holder for holding sample. The sample holder includes an electrode. The system also includes a measuring circuit for measuring at least one property of the sample.

Abstract: To provide an electric measuring cartridge capable of decreasing a risk of contact with a connecting unit. Provided is an electric measuring cartridge at least provided with a biological sample holding unit which accommodates a biological sample, at least a pair of electrodes fixed to the biological sample holding unit, a connecting unit which electrically connects the electrodes to an external circuit, and a protecting unit which protects the connecting unit.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus that includes a main body that includes a recording and reproducing unit that houses a main recording medium and records an information signal. The information signal from the main recording medium is reproduced. An auxiliary recording medium unit is detachably mounted on a mounting section of the apparatus main body and houses an auxiliary recording medium separate from the main recording medium. During imaging, the apparatus main body is placed on one shoulder of a camera operator and a grip section is disposed on a front surface side of the apparatus main body. The mounting section is formed between the grip section and the recording and reproducing unit. The auxiliary recording medium unit is detachably attachable during imaging.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an apparatus main body including a recording and reproducing unit that houses a main recording medium and records an information signal in and reproduces the information signal from the main recording medium and an auxiliary recording medium unit that is detachably mounted on a mounting section of the apparatus main body and houses an auxiliary recording medium separate from the main recording medium. During imaging, the apparatus main body is placed on one shoulder of a camera operator and a grip section provided on a front surface side of the apparatus main body is gripped. The mounting section is formed between the grip section and the recording and reproducing unit on a side surface on the opposite side of a side surface on the camera operator side of the apparatus main body during imaging. The auxiliary recording medium unit is detachably attachable during imaging.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus may include a mechanical deck that drives a tape-shaped recording medium for recording/playing, and a grip section to be grasped by a user by putting his/her palm thereagainst during a shooting operation. In this case, the mechanical deck may be placed inside of the grip section. The grip section may have a part of a cabinet and a cover, which may be removable from the cabinet. The part of the cabinet, which may be provided as the grip section, may have an adjustment hole reclosable by the cover for adjustment on the mechanical deck.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a grip section projecting from the body of the apparatus to a side and being to be gripped by a user by putting his/her palm thereto. In this case, a zoom key changing the angle of view is placed on the top surface of the grip section. The end surface of the grip section on the user side functions as a finger-put surface to which the thumb is to be put. A finger-hook projection projects upward from the top surface of the grip section on the subject side about the zoom key.

Abstract: A secondary battery device charging apparatus includes a number of first terminals, a pair of second terminals, a power supply circuit, a switching element and a control circuit. The secondary battery device includes an even number of secondary batteries arranged with electrodes facing in mutually opposite directions, a middle spacer set up between the secondary batteries, a thermistor set up at the middle spacer so as to be thermally in contact with the secondary batteries, a pair of electrodes set up at the middle spacer and a uniting member for uniting the secondary batteries together into a single item. The pair of electrodes are arranged symmetrically with respect to the mechanical center of the secondary batteries and the thermistor is connected to the pair of electrodes. When the secondary battery device is installed, the number of first terminals come into contact with each of their corresponding second battery electrodes.
