Abstract: An apparatus for culturing cells using a culture medium, including: a replacer that replaces the culture medium in a culture vessel held by a holder; a measurer that measures a pH of the culture medium in the culture vessel; and an instructor that instructs the replacer to replace the culture medium in the culture vessel, wherein the instructor gives an instruction when the pH measured by the measurer is less than a predetermined pH threshold at a first replacement of the culture medium, and gives an instruction when the pH measured by the measurer is less than the predetermined pH threshold and the interval is less than an interval of a previous replacement of the culture medium at second and subsequent replacements of the culture medium.

Abstract: A head care apparatus includes a unit base having independently rotatable first and second rotating shafts, a first link fixed on the first rotating shaft, a second link pivotally connected to the fist link, a third link fixed to the second rotating shaft, a fourth link pivotally connected to the third link, a support shaft pivotally connecting between the second and fourth links, an actuator supported by the support shaft, and an adjustment mechanism adjusting a posture of the actuator relative to person's head.

Abstract: Provided is an automatic head care device that can reliably care a person's rear head. The automatic head care device includes a rear-head care unit, the rear-head care unit including contact units, each unit having a rotation gear rotating a plurality of contacts around a central axis of the rotation gear, a third arm rotatably holding the contact units, a cylindrical rack held between the contact units to be movable in an axial direction of the cylindrical rack, the cylindrical rack moving in the axial direction to rotate the rotation gears in opposite directions, and a motor for oscillating the contacts of the contact units by moving the cylindrical rack.

Abstract: Provided is an automatic head care device that can reliably care a person's rear head. The automatic head care device includes a rear-head care unit, the rear-head care unit including contact units, each unit having a rotation gear rotating a plurality of contacts around a central axis of the rotation gear, a third arm rotatably holding the contact units, a cylindrical rack held between the contact units to be movable in an axial direction of the cylindrical rack, the cylindrical rack moving in the axial direction to rotate the rotation gears in opposite directions, and a motor for oscillating the contacts of the contact units by moving the cylindrical rack.

Abstract: A person's head is safely and reliably arranged in a proper position inside a bowl of an automatic head care system. In the case where a person's head is supported by a head support and accommodated inside a bowl and then where a pair of arms swing in a forward and rearward direction of the head and rotate in a direction of approaching to or separating away from the head to care the head with a plurality of contacts provided at the arms, an angular position of the swinging of at least one of the arms is controlled so that the arms are arranged in a substantially horizontal direction and then, when a pushing force of the contacts detected by a pressure sensor in the arms arranged in the substantially horizontal direction has reached a first pressure, it is confirmed that the head has been inserted into the bowl.

Abstract: An automatic head care system capable of reliably caring, such as kneading and washing, or massaging, an entire occipital region with the occipital region securely supported is realized. By a method using an automatic head care system including an occipital region care unit having an occipital region contact unit and a pair of care arms having head contact units, when the care arms care a head except for an occipital region, the occipital region contact unit of the occipital region care unit supports the occipital region, and when the occipital region care unit cares the occipital region, the head contact units of the care arms support the head.
