Abstract: An automated analyzer includes a reagent dispensing probe that dispenses a reagent to a reaction vessel, a sample dispensing probe that dispenses a sample to the reaction vessel, a stirring rod that stirs a sample and a reagent in the reaction vessel, and a storage unit that stores special washing information including information about a condition for performing special washing to prevent sample carryover and a washing method. The automated analyzer further includes: a determination unit that determines whether the special washing is required based on information about the sample dispensed by the sample dispensing probe and the special washing information; and a controller that causes the reagent dispensing probe to dispense a wash liquid to the reaction vessel and causes the stirring rod to stir the wash liquid in the reaction vessel based on the special washing information, when the special washing is performed.

Abstract: A drive device protection structure has a rotary electric machine, a gearbox connected the rotary electric machine, an undercover disposed underneath the drive device and a protecting plate provided to the undercover. The rotary electric machine has a rotary electric machine housing that has a rotary electric machine flange. The gearbox has a gearbox housing that has a gearbox flange. The rotary electric machine flange and the gearbox flange are connected together. The rotary electric machine flange and the gearbox flange are formed such that a lower surface of the gearbox flange is positioned lower than a lower surface of the rotary electric machine flange. The protecting plate is formed of a material more rigid than a material of the undercover. The protecting plate is provided beneath connecting part between the rotary electric machine flange and the gearbox flange so as to face the connecting part.

Abstract: A rebar tying tool may include a twisting mechanism, a body, a grip, and a control board. The twisting mechanism may include a twisting motor and a holder configured to twist a wire around rebus by operation of the twisting motor. The body may house the twisting mechanism. The grip may be disposed below the body and configured to be gripped by an operator. The control board may be configured to control the operation of the twisting motor. The control board may be disposed below a connection between the grip and the body.

Abstract: A rebar tying tool may be configured to tie rebars with a wire. The rebar tying tool may include: a first cutter; and a second cutter configured to cut the wire by moving relative to the first cutter. The second cutter may include: a cutting part configured to contact and cut the wire; a first connecting part connected to a first portion of the cutting part; and a second connecting part connected to a second portion of the cutting part, the second portion being different from the first portion.

Abstract: A rebar tying tool ties together two or more rebars using a wire. The rebar tying tool may include: a reel comprising the wire wound on a bobbin; a reel-holding part configured to hold the reel in a rotatable manner; a feed part configured to advance the wire from the reel by a number of turns of the wire around the rebars; and a twisting part configured to twist the wire after the number of turns of the wire has been wound around the rebars. The wire preferably has a maximum tensile load of at least 700 N. Preferably, the wire after the number of turns of the wire has been wound around the rebars has an overall maximum tensile load of at least 1,050 N, which is calculated by multiplying the maximum tensile load of the wire by the number of turns of the wire around the rebars.

Abstract: The disclosure herein discloses a rebar tying machine. The rebar tying machine may include a feed motor, a current sensor configured to detect a current flowing through the feed motor, and a control unit configured to control an operation of the feed motor. The rebar tying machine may be configured to perform: a feeding-out process in which a wire is fed out around rebars by driving the feed motor, a gripping process in which a vicinity of a tip of the wire is gripped, a pulling-back process in which the wire is pulled back by driving the feed motor, a cutting process in which the wire is cut, and a twisting process in which the wire is twisted. The control unit may be configured to determine a diameter of the rebars based on a history of a current value flowing through the feed motor in the pulling-back process.

Abstract: A rebar tying machine may be configured to perform: a winding process in which a wire is fed around rebars, a vicinity of a distal end of the wire is grasped, the wire is pulled back, and the wire is cut; and a twisting process in which the wire is twisted. When instructed to tie the rebars by a user, the rebar tying machine may be configured capable of performing a multiple-winding tying operation in which the twisting process is performed after the winding process has been performed multiple times.

Abstract: A rebar tying tool may include a holder, a stopper, a driving roller, and a driven roller. The stopper may be configured to switch between a prohibiting state in which the stopper prohibits a reel from detaching from the holder and an allowing state in which the stopper allows the reel to detach from the holder. The driving roller may be configured to rotate. The driven roller may be configured to switch between a clamped state and a non-clamped state, the wire may be clamped between the driving roller and the driven roller when the driven roller is in the clamped state, and the wire may not be clamped between the driving roller and the driven roller when the driven roller is in the non-clamped state. The driven roller may be in the non-clamped state at all times while the stopper is in the allowing state.

Abstract: A rebar tying tool is configured to tie rebars with a wire. The rebar tying tool may include: a feeding unit, a twisting unit, a grip, an indicator, and a facing surface. The feeding unit may be configured to feed the wire around the rebars. The twisting unit may be configured to twist the wire around the rebars. The grip may be disposed downward than the twisting unit and configured to be gripped by an operator. The indicator may be configured to indicate a status of the rebar tying tool. The facing surface may be disposed in front of the grip and facing the grip. The indicator may be disposed on the facing surface.
