Abstract: The present invention conducts communication between transaction subjects for a change concerning manufacture or evaluation of an article more reliably while reducing a burden on a person in charge. An information processing system (1) includes: information processing devices (10) respectively associated with transaction subjects relating to article transactions; and a database (200) in which information of transaction content related to each transaction subject is registered by an information processing device (10) associated with that transaction subject.

Abstract: An in-vehicle authentication device may perform wireless communication with a portable device in a vicinity of a vehicle. The in-vehicle authentication device may transmit a call signal that requests a reply of a response signal to the portable device. The in-vehicle authentication device may transmit an authentication request signal that requests a reply of an authentication signal to the portable device when the in-vehicle authentication device determines that the portable device exists in the vicinity of the vehicle by receiving the response signal. The in-vehicle authentication device may authenticate the portable device that transmits the authentication signal based on the authentication signal when the authentication signal is received.

Abstract: A portable device searching device includes a transmitter that transmits search information to a search area near a vehicle to search for a portable device, a receiver that receives authentication information returned from the portable device as a response to the search information, and a controller that controls the transmitter and the receiver. The receiver includes an authentication portion to authenticate the portable device based on the authentication information and notifies the controller of an authentication result. The controller performs control to transmit the search information in a normal operation state, subsequently transitions to a low-power consumption state, and returns from the low-power consumption state to the normal operation state when notified of the authentication result from the receiver.

Abstract: A method which allows easy perforation of a film covering a well of a reagent cartridge which is set to a dispensing device is provided. A pipette tip set to be used in a dispensing device of an automatic analyzer together with a reagent cartridge in which a reagent for biochemical analysis is enclosed, includes: a dispensing pipette tip for dispensing the reagent enclosed in the reagent cartridge; a perforating pipette tip having a leading end surface inclined relative to a central axis thereof; and a rack configured to store the dispensing pipette tip and the perforating pipette tip together.

Abstract: A pellet loader according to the present invention is provided with an ejector portion 1. A gas supply pipe 2 is connected to an injection nozzle 11 of the ejector portion 1 for supplying compressed gas from a compressed gas source 8. An insert pipe 4 is connected to a suction inlet 12 of the ejector portion 1. Pellets are sucked from the suction inlet 40 of the insert pipe 4 into the ejector portion 1. A gas pipe 5 is arranged along the insert pipe 4 and one end of the gas pipe 5 has an opening 50 positioned at the vicinity of the suction inlet 40 of the insert pipe 4 and faced to the suction inlet 40 of the insert pipe 4 for injecting the compressed gas into the insert pipe 4. A transport pipe 3 is connected to an outlet portion 14 of the ejector portion 1.
