Patent number: 10549280Abstract: [Problem to be solved] A sample storage tube having the seal function to the tube body is provided by integral molding and the airtightness is secured in the sample storage tube. [Solution] The sample storage tube 100 comprise a first molded portion 210 and a second molded portion 220 by the integral molding. The first molded portion 210 is molded as the base figure of the tube body. The second molded portion 220 includes at least the opening edge portion which contacts the lid 300 and closes the opening. The first molded portion 210 is molded by the first material such as polypropylene, the second molded portion 220 is molded by the second material such as TPE which is suitable for the seal object to secure the airtightness between the opening and the lid 300. This second molded portion providing the seal function is molded onto the opening edge of the tube body by the integral molding.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2014Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: KOBE BIO ROBOTIX CO, LTD.Inventor: Shinichiro Kakuda

Patent number: 10102778Abstract: To provide an information writable film that is chemical and abrasion resistance, and is suitable for high contrast white laser marking. The information writable film comprises a writable film layer 110 and a reading assistance layer 120. The writable film layer 110 is formed into a film shape by thinly stretching a material, which material is a mixture of a color former composition for coloring white when receiving the particular wavelength laser beam by changing its physical and chemical characteristic and a transparent plastic composition. The reading assistance layer 120 is provided enhancing the contrast ratio. The writable film layer 110 is provided with laser coloring properties and chemical and abrasion resistance. During writing, an identification code is written by laser by coloring the color former in the writable film layer 110. During reading, the contrast ratio is enhanced by superimposing the color of the reading assistance layer 120.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2013Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Inventors: Shinichiro Kakuda, Yoko Nakahana

Publication number: 20170152130Abstract: [Problem to be solved] A sample storage tube and an automation system for operating a sample storage tube are provided, which can operate a lid capping operation, a carrying operation and lid decapping operation by using a robot arm. [Solution] A sample storage tube 100 comprises a tube body 120 and a lid 110. The lid 110 comprises a lid dent inner screw 112 accessible by a first lid access module 210 and a lid top recession and protrusion shape structure 113 accessible by a second lid access module. A capping operation and a carrying operation for the lid 110 against the tube body 120 is achieved by the rotation torque to the lid 110 given by the second lid access module via the lid top recession and protrusion shape structure 113.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2015Publication date: June 1, 2017Inventor: Shinichiro KAKUDA

Patent number: 8287821Abstract: A sample storage, in which barcodes and two-dimensional codes written on the outer surface of the sample storage can be read correctly without false recognition. A storage tube 110 is made of transparent material, comprising a top opening. An externally equipped opaque writable element 120 is assembled outside by covering storage tube 110 throughout from the bottom surface to the side surface. An externally equipped opaque writable element 120 is to be used as a medium to which coded information that can be read by means of optical reading is written. The top opening of the storage container 110 is sealed by the lid element screwed into or fitted into the externally equipped opaque writable element 120 not to the storage container 110. At least one window 125 is provided, which enables a sample 200 contained to be observed, with the externally equipped opaque writable element 120 assembled outside.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2009Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Inventors: Yoko Nakahana, Shinichiro Kakuda

Patent number: 8228498Abstract: Sample storage, in which barcodes and two-dimensional codes printed on the outer surface of the sample storage can be read correctly. A storage tube 110 is transparent, comprising a top opening. An opaque writable outer element 120 covers storage tube 110 throughout from the bottom surface to the side surface. An opaque writable outer element 120 is a medium on which coded information that can be read by optical reading is written. The opaque writable outer element 120 is pushed in and irreversibly fixed to the storage tube 110 by a locking mechanism. At least one window 125 is provided, which enables a sample 200 contained to be observed, with the opaque writable outer element 120 installed outside. Accordingly, coded information written on the opaque writable outer element 120 can be read, and sample 200 observed through the window 125.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2009Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Inventors: Yoko Nakahana, Shinichiro Kakuda
