Abstract: Signal processing assists in searching for a mechanism through a generation equation of a signal for stratifying a patient, which refers to classification of patients suffering from a disease to enable medical treatment.

Abstract: An exemplary blood sampling device can be provided that can collect a small amount of blood and prevent blood leakage. The exemplary blood sampling device can comprise a pipette tip-shaped blood sampler having an internal space for aspirating and holding blood by the capillary action and having openings at the top and bottom, a cylindrical container capable of accommodating the blood sampler and a cap piston-shaped sealing cap for sealing the container, wherein a receiving part is provided at the bottom of the container and a locking part and a screw part are provided on the upper outer side of the container, and a mandrel extending from the inner upper surface of the sealing cap is provided and a projection and a screw part are provided on the inner side surface of the sealing cap.

Abstract: To infer a value of an assignment variable with high accuracy. In a causal relation inference device including a processor configured to execute a program and a storage device storing the program, the processor is configured to execute a first calculation process of calculating an internal vector based on a feature vector of a plurality of samples and a first learning parameter, a second calculation process of calculating a reallocation vector based on a second learning parameter and the internal vector calculated by the first calculation process, and a third calculation process of calculating a pointwise weight vector for each of the plurality of samples based on a third learning parameter and the reallocation vector calculated by the second calculation process.

Abstract: An exemplary blood sampling tool/device can be provided with which, even when a small amount of sample is collected, such amount of sample can be collected in a state suitable for a later analysis. The exemplary blood sampling tool/device can comprise, e.g., a pipette tip-shaped blood sampler having openings at an upper part and a lower part having an interior space for aspirating and retaining blood by the capillary action. This exemplary tool/device can also comprise a blood container having a hydrophilically treated inner wall and bottom, and having a protrusion provided at the bottom that is able to accommodate the blood collected by the blood sampler. A sealing lid can also be provided for sealing the blood container.

Abstract: A purpose of the present invention is to provide a device which enables to collect a very small amount of a sample in a state suitable for later examination, without using an absorbent or a chemical solution, even when a very small amount of a sample is collected. A further purpose is to provide a device which enables to collect blood suitable for later blood examination, even when the sample is a very small amount of peripheral blood instead of brachial vein blood. Yet a further purpose is to provide a very small sample collection and separation device for use in measuring a very small amount of peripheral blood sample with good accuracy using a conventional reagent and analytical apparatus.
