Abstract: Even in an uncuttable state in which an actual rotational direction of a main spindle is not matched with an actually cuttable main spindle rotational direction of a tool, an interference check between a workpiece and the tool is performed. Accordingly, the cuttable main spindle rotational direction of the selected tool or the uncuttable main spindle rotational direction is compared with each main spindle rotational direction of a working machine during execution of a simulation, and it is determined whether an interference check between the tool blade edge and the workpiece is necessary on the basis of the comparison result. When it is determined that the interference check is not necessary in the step above, the interference check between the tool blade edge and the workpiece is not performed. When it is determined that the interference check is necessary, the interference check between the tool blade edge and the workpiece is performed.

Abstract: A method for evaluating the quality of a blood sample, comprising the steps of: mixing labeled anti-cortisol antibodies with a blood sample to be subjected, to conduct the antigen-antibody reaction of the labeled anti-cortisol antibody with cortisol contained in the blood sample, developing a mixture obtained in the above step on an immunochromatographic test strip having a substrate on which cortisol is immobilized to cause the antigen-antibody reaction of the labeled anti-cortisol antibodies which are free in the mixture with the cortisol immobilized on the substrate, thereby bonding the antibody to the cortisol, determining the amount of the labeled anti-cortisol antibodies bonded to the cortisol in the above step, and evaluating whether or not the blood sample has a quality suitable for suprarenal vein sampling test on the basis of the amount of the labeled anti-cortisol antibodies determined in the above step.
