Abstract: Disclosed is a specimen measurement apparatus comprising: a measurement unit configured to suction a specimen from a specimen container and measure the suctioned specimen; and a specimen transport unit configured to transport the specimen container to the measurement unit, wherein the specimen transport unit includes a rack setting part configured to allow a specimen rack to be set thereon, the specimen rack holding the specimen container that has not been subjected to specimen suction by the measurement unit, a rack collection part configured to collect the specimen rack holding the specimen container that has been subjected to specimen suction by the measurement unit, and an interruption specimen setting part configured to allow the specimen rack to be set thereon, the specimen rack holding the specimen container that is to be subjected to specimen suction by the measurement unit in preference to the specimen container held by the specimen rack having been set on the rack setting part, and the interruption

Abstract: A memory system includes a non-volatile memory and a controller that includes a first memory and is configured to write log data to the first memory, including a history of commands for controlling the memory system. An information processing system includes the memory system and an information processing device configured to store an expected value and to transmit a signal that instructs the memory system to stop when a value of the log data transmitted from the memory system does not match the expected value. The expected value and the transmitted value are determined based on the log data of the memory system.

Abstract: To improve the separation efficiency of a gas-liquid separator in the gas-liquid separator and an air conditioner, the gas-liquid separator having a vessel with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe is arranged such that an exit end section of the inlet pipe is formed to be closed or to have a gap, an expanded end section having a width greater than the diameter of that portion of the inlet pipe which crosses a container of the gas-liquid separator is provided, and that a lateral hole is formed in a side face of the expanded end section. Refrigerant vapor and refrigerant liquid are efficiently separated from each other at the expanded end section, and this improves separation efficiency of the gas-liquid separator.

Abstract: In a digital still camera which contains an internal RAM (a volatile internal memory device) and to/from which an external RAM (a nonvolatile external memory device) is attachable/detachable, the internal RAM has a work area for an image processing process and a surplus area for storing image data photographed by the digital still camera. An image data storage device receives the image data from a photographing processing section. When the external RAM is attached to the digital still camera, an image data managing unit 31 stores the image data in the external RAM. When the external RAM is detached from the digital still camera, the image data managing unit 31 stores the image data in the surplus area of the internal RAM.
