Abstract: A composite preform including a preform and a plastic member in close contact with the outer surface of the preform is made by preparing the preform made of plastic material and arranging the plastic member to surround the outer surface of the preform. Subsequently, the composite preform is heated and inserted in a blow molding die and undergoes blow molding in the blow molding die, by which the preform and the plastic member of the composite preform are inflated integrally and a composite container is obtained.

Abstract: A management system connected with a clinical testing apparatus is disclosed. The system acquires, from the clinical testing apparatus, a parameter that varies according to deterioration of the unit at a plurality of points of time, stores the parameters and/or analysis results that are obtained by analyzing the parameters, and provides a screen data for showing the stored parameters and/or the stored analysis results in a time-series format. A method for managing a clinical testing apparatus and a clinical testing system for the method are also disclosed.

Abstract: A blow molding mold which can reduce the production cost and can easily perform replacement work. The blow molding mold includes a body mold, a bottom mold and a neck mold. The neck mold is provided with a first cooling mechanism. The body mold includes an inner body mold corresponding to the outer surface of a body portion of a plastic bottle, and an outer shell located outside the inner body mold. The inner body mold can be attached/detached to/from the outer shell when replacing the inner body mold in conformity with the shape of the plastic bottle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a polishing composition comprising an abrasive, a water-soluble polymer and water. The polishing composition has a volume average particle diameter DA of grains in the polishing composition of 20 nm to 60 nm measured by dynamic light scattering at a concentration equivalent to 0.2% abrasive content by mass.

Abstract: A reagent that enhances acid generation of a photoacid generator and composition containing such reagent is disclosed.

Abstract: A reagent that enhances acid generation of a photoacid generator and composition containing such reagent is disclosed. Also described is a method for manufacturing a device, the method including applying a liquid containing a composition to a member such that a coating film including the composition is formed on the member; and exposing the coating film to at least one of a first electromagnetic ray and a first particle ray such that a first portion of the coating film is exposed to the at least one of the first electromagnetic ray and the first particle ray while a second portion of the coating film is not exposed to the at least one of the first electromagnetic ray and the first particle ray.

Abstract: The present invention is a sample analyzing system, including a sample analyzer and a management apparatus connected to the sample analyzer via a communication network. The management apparatus includes: a first memory that stores a computer program for the sample analyzer and manual data which corresponds to a version of the computer program; a first communication device; and a first controller configured to transmit, via the first communication device to the sample analyzer, the computer program and the manual data corresponding to the version of the computer program stored in the first memory. The sample analyzer includes: a second communication device; a second memory that stores the computer program and the manual data received by the second communication device; and a second controller configured to execute the computer program stored in the second memory.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inoculating a biological substrate with cells include provision for rotating a container in which the substrate and a cell suspension are received about first and second axes of rotation. The apparatus comprises said container, first drive means for rotatably supporting the container about the first axis, and second drive means for rotatably supporting the first drive means about the second axis. The first and second axes of rotation do not lie in the same plane and extend in different directions so that the container revolves around the second axis while the container is rotating about the first axis. The inoculation method utilizes this apparatus.
