  • Patent number: 11894110
    Abstract: To facilitate management of the entirety of one or a plurality of clinical laboratories. This information processing apparatus is used in management of a clinical laboratory in which an analyzer configured to analyze specimens is installed. The information processing apparatus includes: a communication section configured to communicate with a terminal operable by a user; and a controller configured to control display of the terminal via the communication section. On the basis of information collected from a plurality of analyzers installed in one or a plurality of clinical laboratories and from apparatuses relevant to the analyzers, the controller causes the terminal to display a screen including an index that indicates a status of the entirety of the one or the plurality of clinical laboratories. In response to the user selecting the index displayed in the screen, the controller causes the terminal to display the selected index so as to be divided in a plurality of categories.

  • Patent number: 4355318
    Abstract: A heat-mode recording medium has a recording layer the optical density of which is normally high and is reduced significantly by fusing to permit light to pass therethrough when exposed to a laser beam. A laser beam modulated in accordance with data signals is caused to scan the heat-mode recording medium to record information as a pattern of the points made transparent. Errors in the recorded information resulting from any pin hole in the recording medium which permits light to pass therethrough or any foreign material in the recording medium which prevents the recording layer from being fused completely are revealed by a photo-electric converter which receives light passing through the recording medium and outputs electric signals in accordance with the light received and a comparator which compares the electric signals with the data signals and outputs an electric signal when they differ from each other.
