Publication number: 20230251253Abstract: An electrochemiluminescence method of detecting an analyte in a liquid sample and a corresponding analysis system. An analyte in a liquid sample is detected by first providing a receptacle containing a fluid comprising protein coated magnetic microparticles to a stirring unit. Stirring of the fluid is necessary since the density of the microparticles is usually higher than the density of the buffer fluid. Thus the microparticles tend to deposit on the bottom of the receptacle leading to an aggregation of the microparticles because of weak interactions. To obtain representative measurements a homogeneous distribution of the microparticles in the buffer fluid is necessary to ensure a constant concentration of microparticles for each analysis cycle. It is further necessary to provide disaggregation of the microparticles, which is also realized by stirring the fluid. Stirring is conducted with a rotational frequency that is adapted to the amount of fluid to be stirred.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicants: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc., Hitachi High-Tech CorporationInventors: Ralf Kraus, Oliver Larbolette, Friedrich Staebler, Yoshihiro Yamashita, Yukinori Sakashita, Shinya Matsuoka, Michihiro Saito, Taku Sakazume, Katsuaki Takahashi

Publication number: 20220184497Abstract: A non-limiting example game system includes a processor incorporated in a main body apparatus, and the processor makes a player character hit a ball according to an operation of a player. A movement gauge is displayed in a parameter determination screen, and the movement gauge includes a belt-shaped basic area and a risk area outside the basic area. A first index image is moved inside the basic area, and a hitting power is determined at a position that the movement is stopped by an operation of the player. The hitting power affects a flight distance of a ball. After the hitting power is determined, a position of a deviation indication image displayed along the first index image is determined at random. A deviation amount is made larger as the deviation indication image is moved away from the center of the first index image. The risk area is enlarged toward an upper end of the movement gauge. That is, if the flight distance of the ball is made longer, the deviation amount may become larger.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2021Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Tomohiro YAMAMURA, Kodai MATSUMOTO, Shinya SAITO, Hiroyuki TAKAHASHI, Shugo TAKAHASHI
