Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for ghost cytometry (GC), which may be used to produce an image of an object without using a spatially resolving detector. This may be used to perform image-free ultrafast fluorescence “imaging” cytometry, based on, for example, a single pixel detector. Spatial information obtained from the motion of cells relative to a patterned optical structure may be compressively converted into signals that arrive sequentially at a single pixel detector. Combinatorial use of the temporal waveform with the intensity distribution of the random or pseudo-random pattern may permit computational reconstruction of cell morphology. Machine learning methods may be applied directly to the compressed waveforms without image reconstruction to enable efficient image-free morphology-based cytometry.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a platooning operation system organizes a platoon by making a plurality of vehicles cooperate. The platooning operation system includes an application acceptance processor and a platoon organization processor. The application acceptance processor accepts an application of a vehicle for admission to the platoon. The platoon organization processor which selects a platoon to which the vehicle is to be admitted or determines possibility of admission of the vehicle to the platoon, based on at least one of information on a driver driving the vehicle and information on the vehicle.

Abstract: An image analyzer detects a lesion for each frame (tomographic image). When the lesion is detected, lesion information (detection flag, position information, and size information) is produced. An indication controller causes a mark surrounding the lesion to be displayed when it is judged that a mark display condition is satisfied, based on the lesion information or the like. The indication controller causes the mark to be deleted from a screen when detection of the lesion is continued and a mark display restriction condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A medical care assistance system includes guideline selection means that selects a guideline related to treatment of a patient based on predetermined input information, patient information acquisition means that acquires patient information including measured value information related to biological information on the patient and medication information as information of a medicine prescribed to the patient, determination means that performs determination related to appropriateness of a current treatment strategy including a prescription content of a medicine for the patient based on the selected guideline and the patient information, recommended treatment information generation means that generates recommended treatment information regarding an action recommended to be performed on the patient according to a determination result of the determination means, and output means that outputs the recommended treatment information.

Abstract: Provided is an indoor unit of an air-conditioner including: an indoor unit body configured to be provided in a ceiling; a suction port attached to a lower surface of the indoor unit body; a panel including a blow port for blowing conditioned air into a room; and a louver provided at the blow port of the panel to change an air sending direction. The panel includes an outer frame provided outside the blow port and provided with a substantially horizontal flat portion, and a protruding portion provided on the flat portion of the outer frame and protruding vertically downward. A lower end of the protruding portion is positioned vertically above a lower end of the louver. A lower end of an inner flow path wall surface forming a flow path wall surface inside the blow port is positioned vertically below the lower end of the louver.

Abstract: There is provided a method for cutting an adhesive film and an adhesive film that are novel and improved and capable of fabricating an adhesive film with a low glass transition point, high quality, and a width of less than 1 mm. According to an aspect of the present invention in order to achieve the above object, there is provided a method for cutting an adhesive film, the method including cutting, under a temperature environment of ?40 to 10° C., an adhesive film that satisfies a condition of the following formula (1) and whose tack value per unit length under room temperature is 3N/cm or more. y??0.27x+11.4??(1) In the formula (1), x is a glass transition point (° C.) of the adhesive film, and y is a tack value per unit length (N/cm) under room temperature of the adhesive film.

Abstract: Proposed is a sample transport apparatus including at least one transport line stage including first and second transport lines each configured to transport sample holders each capable of holding at least one sample along a side wall of a housing along a long-side direction, a drive mechanism configured to transport the sample holders along the first and second transport lines, and wires accommodated in the housing and connected to at least the drive mechanism, in which the first transport line and the second transport line of the transport line stage are arranged in parallel along a long-side side face of the housing, and a first distance between the first transport line and the long-side side face that is adjacent the first transport line is shorter than a second distance between the first transport line and the second transport line.

Abstract: A transport line cover with excellent workability that can be operated by an operator even with one hand. Proposed is a transport line cover that includes a cover body adapted to cover an opening at a top of a sample transport apparatus, the sample transport apparatus accommodating a plurality of transport lines that extend in one direction; and a first groove formed on an upper face of the cover body, the first groove extending from one short side to another short side of the cover body. A lower end of a long-side side face of the cover body is located at a level below a bottom face of the first groove.

Abstract: To provide an automated analyzer with a built-in, user-friendly printer that can avoid contamination of printed paper of the printer by having a housing front wall 102 provided in a recessed manner from a front end 101 of a housing upper portion that has disposed thereon a sample disc 110, a reagent disc 120, a reaction disc, a sample dispensing mechanism, and a reagent dispensing mechanism, and by having a printer 200 and a paper receptacle 210 disposed on the housing front wall. The front end portion of the housing upper portion that projects beyond the housing front wall serves as eaves, thereby preventing a sample or a reagent that may be spilled on the housing upper portion from staining the printer or printing paper.

Abstract: A panel holding base holding an operating panel disposed on a front-face side of a device upper part of an automated analyzer is inclined so as to rise from a lower end side on the front-face side toward an upper end side, and has a shape with increasingly narrower width from the lower end side toward the upper end side. As a result, increased operating panel operability and improved access to a sample disc or a reagent disc are simultaneously achieved.

Abstract: An automatic analysis device has a light scattering photometer incorporated therein, and improved accuracy resulting from reducing the influences from external light. The automatic analysis device includes a scattered light measurement unit disposed inside the main-body casing, and openable/closable protective covers to cover the top face of the main-body casing. A first protective cover at the center includes a light-shielding part to block external light. The protective covers include see-through parts enabling viewing of the inside. The light-shielding part is configured to cover an area of the reaction disk at least corresponding to the area above the scattered light measurement unit, thus reducing external light leaking into the scattered light measurement unit, and thus removing influences from external light on the scattered light measurement. The protective cover may have a divided structure.
