Abstract: The genetic chromosome test management system (10) used for a genetic chromosome test for testing an abnormality of a chromosome contained in fetus-derived nucleated red blood cells includes: an identification information acquisition unit (14) which acquires identification information of a maternal body; a blood collection date and time specification unit (16) which specifies a blood collection date and time; a storage unit (20) which stores the identification information of the maternal body and information of the blood collection date and time; a test progress detection unit (24) which detects a progress condition of a test until at least a specific step one step before a step which is determined as not being affected by removal of nuclei; and a management unit (26) which manages a progress of the test until at least the specific step is completed, based on the detected progress condition.

Abstract: A genetic chromosome test management system used for a genetic chromosome test for testing an abnormality of a chromosome contained in fetus-derived nucleated red blood cells includes: a test progress detection unit which detects a progress condition of a test until at least a specific step one step before a step which is determined as not being affected by removal of nuclei is completed, with respect to a plurality of specimens; a test progress management unit which manages progress information based on the detected progress condition; and a reception unit, wherein, in a case where the test request is received from the reception unit, the test progress management unit transmits at least one of information pieces of whether the test request is acceptable, the progress condition of the test, or completion expectation of the test, to the reception unit based on the progress information.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for bonding a polarizing plate high in operating efficiency and yield. The apparatus includes a cutting unit for cutting at least a polarizing plate of a strip-shaped film, composed of the polarizing plate and a release film bonded to the polarizing plate, leaving the release film uncut, when a forward end side pre-severed end face of the strip-shaped film perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped film has traveled up to a length corresponding to a length of a substrate, to form a film piece, a release film separating unit for separating the release film from the film piece thus severed, and a bonding unit for bonding the tacky surface of the film piece freed of the release film to a mating position of the substrate so that the forward end side end face of the transported substrate is parallel to the pre-severed end face of the film piece.

Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus has a reel-out mechanism, a processing mechanism, a label bonding mechanism, a reservoir mechanism, a peeling mechanism, a substrate feed mechanism, an attachment mechanism, and a base peeling mechanism. A cooling mechanism is disposed between the attachment mechanism and the base peeling mechanism, for cooling an attached substrate, the attached substrate being made up of a glass substrate and a photosensitive web attached thereto, from which a protective film has been peeled off, together with a heating mechanism for heating a resin layer, for example a cushion layer, inside the cooled attached substrate to within a predetermined temperature range, which is at or below the glass transition temperature.

Abstract: A heating apparatus has first through fifth heating furnace arranged along the feeding direction in which glass substrates are fed by a feeding mechanism. The first heating furnace has a first heater for heating a glass substrate to at least a target temperature required for processing the workpiece. The second heating furnace has a heater for heating a glass substrate to a temperature equal to or below the target temperature. The second heating furnace generates an amount of heat smaller than that of the first heating furnace.

Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus (20) has first and second reel-out mechanisms (32a, 32b), first and second processing mechanisms (36a, 36b), first and second label bonding mechanisms (40a, 40b), first and second reservoir mechanisms (42a, 42b), first and second peeling mechanisms (44a, 44b), a substrate feed mechanism (45), an attachment mechanism (46), and a base peeling mechanism (186).

Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus (20) has a reel-out mechanism (32), a processing mechanism (36), a label bonding mechanism (40), a reservoir mechanism (42), a peeling mechanism (44), a substrate feed mechanism (45), and a joining mechanism (46). A detecting mechanism (47) for directly detecting a boundary position of a photosensitive web (22) is disposed upstream of and closely to the joining mechanism (46). Based on detected information from the detecting mechanism (47), a relative position of the boundary position and a substrate (24) in a joining position is adjusted.
