  • Patent number: 11965817
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cell classification method, to be executed by an analyzer, for classifying cells contained in a specimen, including: preparing a first measurement sample by treating a specimen under a first preparation condition; obtaining a first signal from the prepared first measurement sample; classifying, by using the first signal, cells contained in the first measurement sample; preparing a second measurement sample by treating the specimen under a second preparation condition different from the first preparation condition; obtaining a second signal from the prepared second measurement sample; classifying, by using the second signal, cells contained in the second measurement sample; and comparing a result of the cell classification performed by using the first signal and a result of the cell classification performed by using the second signal, with each other, and outputting an analysis result including a number of cells on the basis of a result of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11951859
    Abstract: A navigation server includes a processor. The processor is configured to derive one of a first route and a second route as a route from a place of departure to a destination of a vehicle in accordance with a remaining level of a travel battery of the vehicle. The first route includes a first road provided with a first non-contact electric power feeder. The second route includes a second road provided with a second non-contact electric power feeder that is different in electric power feed capability from the first non-contact electric power feeder. The processor is configured to output the derived route as a recommended route to a terminal associated with the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4437306
    Abstract: An exhaust gas cleaning device of an internal combustion engine wherein a secondary-air supply passage is connected to an exhaust system of the engine and a reed valve means is provided in the intermediate part of the secondary-air supply passage for opening in response to the pulsation pressure of the exhaust gas in the exhaust system to supply secondary air for cleaning exhaust gas to an exhaust passage and burn the unburnt components present in the exhaust passage thereby to clean exhaust gas. A desired amount of secondary air is supplied to each of a plurality of exhaust systems so that the exhaust gas cleaning efficiency as well as the reliability and durability of the reed valve means are improved and moreover a good external appearance is obtained.
