Abstract: The present invention provides a mobile robot that can simultaneously absorb an impact received from an uneven road surface while moving and estimate the position or orientation of the mobile robot while functioning. The mobile robot according to the present invention has an operation mechanism having a multi-jointed arm, and a movement mechanism that causes the operation mechanism to move, the mobile robot being characterized in that: the movement mechanism has a first support part and a second support part, which support the weight of the movement mechanism; and the second support part is installed at a position that is nearer to an outer peripheral section, in terms of the movement direction of the movement mechanism, than is the installation position of the first support part.

Abstract: Realized is a pretreatment integrated nucleic acid analysis device which can widen an accessible range of a conveyance mechanism while suppressing increase in size of the device. The pretreatment mechanism-integrated nucleic acid analysis device has an analysis part (101, 102, 103, 112) that analyzes a sample and a pretreatment part (105, 106, 108, 109, 110) that performs pretreatment on the sample and moves the pretreated sample to the analysis part. The pretreatment part is provided with a dispensing machine 204 that dispenses a fluid, a holding mechanism 209 that holds a member, and a conveyance mechanism (205, 206, 207, 208) that moves the holding mechanism 209 in a plane direction, a vertical direction, and a rotation direction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a nucleic acid analysis device that, even when a plurality of flow cells is handled, does not require an increase in the required movement amount, and can be reduced in size by reducing the size of a stage mechanism. This nucleic acid analysis device is characterized by having a sample container containing a nucleic acid sample to be analyzed, an imaging means for observing the nucleic acid sample, and a stage mechanism for moving the sample container, and is characterized in that the stage mechanism has two translation means and at least one rotation means, one of the two translation means is disposed on the upper surface of the rotation means, and the other is disposed on the lower surface of the rotation means.

Abstract: An image capturing mechanism includes: an optical measurement unit for optically observing a sample; a temperature conditioning unit for heating or cooling the sample, the temperature conditioning unit being mounted on a table by means of a support member; and a moving mechanism for moving the table in order to photograph the sample. The temperature conditioning unit includes: a temperature conditioning part for heating or cooling the sample, abutted on one face of a Peltier device; a heat conducting member abutted on the other face of the Peltier device; and the support member for holding the temperature conditioning part and the heat conducting member and securing the temperature conditioning part and the heat conducting member on the table. At least the heat conducting member is connected to a cooling means, and the thermal conductivity of the support member is low relative to the thermal conductivity of the heat conducting member.

Abstract: A robot hand for gripping and operating a pipette, the robot hand including: an electric gripper; a pair of first finger members opened and closed by the electric gripper; a pair of second finger members provided on the first finger member and having a pipette gripping surface; and an operating mechanism installed on the first finger member to operate an operation target of the pipette.

Abstract: A cash automatic transaction device capable of, upon storage of a banknote sent from a depositing/dispensing port in a banknote storage box, or upon accumulation of a banknote sent from the banknote storage box in the depositing/dispensing port, preventing the occurrence of trouble such as paper jam or poor posture. The cash automatic transaction device has a depositing/dispensing port used for depositing/dispensing of banknotes, and a banknote storage box for storage of deposited/dispensed banknotes. The depositing/dispensing port has depositing/dispensing space to store the deposited/dispensed banknotes, and accumulation space in which the banknote is accumulated upon dispensing. The width of the depositing/dispensing space is smaller than the exit and entrance width of the storage box, while the width of the accumulation space is greater than the exit and entrance width of the storage box.

Abstract: Feed rollers, stopper rollers situated on both outer sides with respect to the feed rollers, each of the stopper rollers having part of the periphery being a highly frictional portion compared with other peripheral portions, and a flexible, radial member in a position on an inner side with respect to the stopper rollers are disposed on a feed roller shaft; and the highly frictional portions of the stopper rollers are in positions at which phases of the highly frictional portions are the same as phases of highly frictional portions of the feed rollers in a rotational direction respectively. On a pick roller shaft, pick rollers, which have highly frictional portions for passing a paper sheet to a paper sheet running-out section, and have flexible, radial members in positions at a side opposite to the highly frictional portions, are disposed in the same or inside positions in an axial direction with respect to both the outside stopper rollers disposed on the feed roller shaft.
