Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes: a control device that controls feeding of the conveyance belt so that a recording medium is conveyed at a pitch of a prescribed feeding amount in a feeding direction, and establishes an origin on the recording medium based on a detection of a starting point arranged on the conveyance belt, and controls driving of the inkjet head so that test dots of an amount equivalent to one round of the conveyance belt are printed on the recording medium at the pitch, from the origin; and a correction device that corrects the feeding amount of the conveyance belt to a corrected feeding amount corresponding to a feeding position of the conveyance belt based on the measurement results for an inputted printing space, wherein the control device causes an ink droplet to jet to the recording medium according to the corrected feeding amount.

Abstract: In an actuator, an electric power supply to a position-detecting detector for an object to be driven can be carried out in a timely manner during a power failure to thereby suppress an electric power consumption in the position-detecting detector, whereby duration time of a power-failure compensation battery can be prolonged, and a variety of detectors can be selected and utilized without limitation in accordance with a use environment and usefulness. During the power failure, a switching means 40 establishes a linking state in which an input shaft 11 of a reduction mechanism 10 and a manual inputting means 30 are linked to each other. When the linking state is detected by a detecting means, an electric power is fed from a battery 80 to a rotation detector by a control section 70, so that the control section 70 can obtain a displacement of the object to be driven, based on a signal output from the rotation detector.

Abstract: Provided is a panel (3) for analysis having a chamber inside for transferring a sample liquid dispensed as a drop on an injection port (14). The injection port (14) is formed to protrude in a direction away from the chamber, a recessed section (12) is formed around the injection port (14), and the injection port (14) is arranged on the side of a rotating axis center (11) of a holding member (101) for the panel for analysis in an analyzer. Thus, even when a sample liquid is adhered around the injection port, contamination and shortage of the sample liquid can be prevented.

Abstract: It is intended to make it easy to recognize the attachment site of a blood sensor in a blood test device to which the blood sensor is attached by insertion. Especially, it is attempted to make the recognition of the attachment site easy and facilitate the insertion of a blood sensor which is to be attached to a blood test device by a person with visual impairment (in particular, a patient suffering from diabetic retinopathy) for the daily measurement of blood glucose level. More specifically speaking, it is intended to provide a blood test device comprising a housing; an electrical circuit unit contained in the housing; and an attachment site for inserting a blood sensor thereinto that is exposed on the surface of the housing; wherein the surface of the attachment site has a color which is lighter than the surface color of the housing and distinguishable by a patient having impairment in the blue cone.
