Abstract: Provided is an automatic analysis device in which safety is ensured, and operability is improved. The automatic analysis device includes: an operation unit that receives voice input from a microphone or a mobile device; and a measurement unit that analyzes a sample. The operation unit has: an equipment state acquisition unit that acquires equipment state data for the measurement unit; a voice detection/recognition unit that acquires voice data and converts the voice data into voice instruction text; and a unit for determining device operability that, in cases in which the voice instruction text includes operation instructions for the measurement unit, determines the executability of the operation instructions included in the voice instruction text, on the basis of the equipment state data for the measurement unit acquired by the equipment state acquisition unit, and on the basis of the accuracy of the voice instruction text.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a laboratory data management system 100 comprising a data source layer 10 comprising at least one laboratory device 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 as a data source, a data adapter layer 20 comprising at least one data source agent 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 configured to obtain data from the at least one data source and to convert the data from a data source format to a data-source independent format, a consumer layer 30 configured for installation and/or execution of consumer application software 31, 32, 33, 34, and a data management layer 40 between the data adapter layer 20 and the consumer layer 30.

Abstract: Managing reagent replacement and calibration/quality management processing for analysis devices is performed by a management device configured to manage analysis devices in a clinical laboratory having a cabinet storing a reagent used for measurement by analysis devices or a calibration/quality management sample. The management device includes a reagent detection unit configured to detect a timing to start reagent replacement preparation, based on a remaining amount of in-measurement reagents and a first preparation time required for replacing the reagent. Calibration/quality management processing preparation timing detection units are configured to detect a timing to start calibration/quality management processing preparation, based on the remaining amount of the in-measurement reagent.

Abstract: A time period that is required for dealing with the need to access another place in advance of a device which is generating an alarm is reduced. Information of a task being presently executed by a laboratory technician present in a clinical laboratory is acquired from a responsible person schedule management table. Information based on a distance between the present position of the laboratory technician present in the clinical laboratory and a positional information reference point that indicates the position first accessed by the laboratory technician to deal with the alarm and that is specified from an alarm information management table and an alarm handling access position management table is also acquired. Based on the acquired information, ordering for issuing a notification of the alarm of which generation has been detected is performed for the laboratory technician present in the clinical inspection room.

Abstract: The present invention provides a vibration wave driven motor or actuator in which a discontinuous coupling member is provided between a vibration member and a load to be driven by a movable element. The coupling member blocks undesirable travelling wave to decrease the noise and prevent the lowering of the output.
