Abstract: First and second apparatuses are connected with each other through a communication path provided with a plurality of lanes used for data transfer that is performed between the first and second apparatuses. Prior to data transfer, transfer-control information is exchanged between the first and second apparatuses according to a predetermined communication protocol. Upon detecting transfer-control information, the first apparatus notifies the second apparatus of a lane-control instruction to increase a second lane-counter indicating a number of lanes used by the second apparatus, and increases a first lane-counter indicating a number of lanes used by the first apparatus so that the first lane-counter is greater than a number of lanes that have been used when detecting the transfer-control information.

Under a situation in which the verification result of the verification unit indicates that the identification code has been verified and the detection result of the lid sensor indicates that the lid is closed, a control unit activates the lid lock unit to switch the lid between a locked state and an unlocked state when the lid lock switch detects that the closed lid has been pushed.

Abstract: As a visible-light-responsive photocatalytic-titanium-oxide-particulate dispersion liquid that can achieve a high visible light activity and is of a type different from the related art, the present invention provides a visible-light-responsive photocatalytic-titanium-oxide-particulate dispersion liquid in which two types of titanium oxide particulates are dispersed in an aqueous dispersion medium. The two types of titanium oxide particulates are first titanium oxide particulates, in which a tin component and a transition metal component (but excluding an iron-group component) for enhancing visible light responsiveness are dissolved, and second titanium oxide particulates, in which an iron-group component is dissolved. When a photocatalytic film formed by using this dispersion liquid is used, a high decomposition activity is achieved even in a case where a decomposition substrate has low concentration, which was previously difficult under visible light conditions.

Abstract: A CTS nozzle achieves the object of reducing rubber chips produced when the CTS nozzle is inserted into and extracted from a rubber plug of a sample container during dispensing of a sample, thereby inhibiting the wear of the tip of the CTS nozzle. The CTS nozzle has two cut surfaces at its tip, and the pressure applied from the rubber when the nozzle is inserted into the rubber plug is dispersed onto the two cut surfaces without being deflected onto one of the cut surfaces. The pressure applied to the nozzle due to the resilience of the rubber being pushed away by the nozzle is thus dispersed and the rubber chips produced by the friction between the cut surfaces of the nozzle and the rubber are reduced. As a result of the reduced friction, the wear of the tip of the nozzle is minimized.
