Publication number: 20220341960Abstract: A composite analysis device, configured to perform a plurality of types of analyses, which prevent a shortage of a volume of a specimen. The analysis device can execute a plurality of measurement processing steps for a biological sample based on order information. The analysis device includes: a pierce nozzle unit which pierces a hole in a sealed sample container in which the biological sample is contained, collects the biological sample, and discharges the biological sample into a predetermined containing unit; a sample nozzle unit which dispenses the biological sample contained in the containing unit into one or more cuvettes; and a control device which control operations of the pierce nozzle unit and the sample nozzle unit based on the order information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2020Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Masatoshi ISHIGURO, Miyuki AZUMA, Masayoshi HAYAKAWA, Hiroyuki SHIMIZU, Kei ASANO

Publication number: 20210349117Abstract: A cuvette discarding unit includesa cuvette discarding container capable of discarding a cuvette from a top opening an accommodation frame capable of accommodating the cuvette discarding containerand a cuvette receiving part arranged at a top of the cuvette discarding container and having an input port into which a cuvette is charged. The cuvette receiving part has a movable cuvette receiving bottom part. The cuvette receiving bottom part is held in a retracted posture allowing the cuvette received from the input port to be charged into the cuvette discarding container at a lower position in a state in which the cuvette discarding container is accommodated in the accommodation frame, and held in a temporary receiving posture for receiving the cuvette received from the input port in a state in which the cuvette discarding container is not accommodated in the accommodation frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2019Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Miyuki AZUMA, Masamichi MORIYA, Kei ASANO

Patent number: 9919597Abstract: A controller for a four-wheel drive vehicle includes a multi-information display, a first operation part for switching of drive modes, a second operation part for switching of off-road traveling modes, a transfer controller that controls the arrangement of a transfer device based on the drive mode, a detector that detects the arrangement of the transfer device, a setter that sets the traveling mode based on the detected arrangement and input operations to the first and second operation parts, and a display controller that instructs the multi-information display to display the drive mode based on the input operation to the first operation part and the detected arrangement and to display the traveling mode set by the setter. The display controller displays the drive mode and the traveling mode on a window when the switched drive mode is a locked drive mode and simultaneously turns off these modes after a predetermined time.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: MITSUBISHI JIDOSHA KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tomohiro Kawasaki, Yuichi Urabe, Ryoichi Hino, Takayuki Wako, Atsuro Hirayama, Yuichi Kamei, Kei Asano
