Abstract: A laboratory information system (LIS) is linked with a whole slide image (WSI) management system to build a pathology image management system that can efficiently manage and utilize a digitized pathology image. A scan notification notifying that an image of a glass slide is scanned by a scanner is delivered to the LIS from the WSI management system to form a WSI link in the LIS, so that the LIS is linked with the WSI management system. By linking two systems with each other can eliminate the problem of mixing up specimens, for example, and hence, a pathologist can easily grasp the status of a pathology sample for which the pathologist is responsible.

Abstract: A pillow 1 stores a main part 2 and an elastic part 3 laminated by the main part 2 in a cover part 4. The main part 2 includes a core material 21 arranged along a longitudinal direction, and a storage object 23 in which charcoal 22 is stored at both sides, and is covered by a cover material 25. A concave portion 27 is formed in a position corresponding to the core material 21. The elastic material 3 has elastic materials 31, 32 and 33 having hardness which becomes larger as they come closer to the main part 2. A convex part 27 is formed in the surface, and a convex part 34 of the elastic part 3 is fitted to the concave portion 27, and a portion corresponding to the convex part 34 is formed thicker than a portion which does not support the convex part 34.

Abstract: A concrete admixture is provided, which is effective in imparting fluidity to a hydraulic composition such as cement paste, mortar or concrete, particularly in maintaining the fluidity of the composition and which hardly retards the hardening property of the composition. The concrete admixture comprises a copolymer comprising, as structural units, units derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer (a) having 25 to 300 moles of C.sub.2 -C.sub.3 oxyalkylene groups per mole of copolymer and units derived from a monomer (b) of an alkyl, alkenyl or hydroxyalkyl ester of an ethylenically unsaturated mono- or di-carboxylic acid.
