An assembly is used for an applying device having a first pressurizing member that can pressurize a viscous material stored in a first container, and a second container having the viscous material stored, the second container being relatively approachable and separatable with respect to the first pressurizing member. The first pressurizing member includes a first contact unit contactable with the second container and a first passage through which the viscous material stored in the first container is circulatable to the second container. The second container includes a second contact unit contactable with the first contact unit, and a second passage provided on the second contact unit, the second passage being interrupted from the first passage when the first contact unit is brought into contact with the second contact unit, the second passage communicating with the first passage when the first contact unit is separated from the second contact unit.

An automatic analysis device has a structure that allows the operator to add or replace a reagent. A reagent container loading portion has an opening through which a reagent container is adapted to be introduced into the device. A reagent container transport tool has a plurality of reagent container insertion slots and is movable up and down. A refrigerator to cool a plurality of reagent containers has an opening that allows the reagent container transport tool to pass therethrough. An elevating and lowering mechanism is configured to elevate or lower the reagent container transport tool. A reagent container loading portion has a plurality of guide grooves arranged radially on its lower surface in front of the opening that are adapted to guide a reagent container. The guide grooves communicate with the respective reagent container insertion slots arranged radially on the reagent container transport tool at an elevated position.

A sample processing system includes a sample vessel holder including a disk-shaped base section disposed so as to have a central axis extending in a vertical direction and a sample vessel holding section that is formed coaxially with, and above, the base section for holding a sample vessel in an upright posture. A conveyor conveys the sample vessel holderplaced thereon; and a holding plate is disposed so as to extend along an outer peripheral portion of a columnar space that has a central axis extending in the vertical direction, and is disposed at a position above a space past which the base section of the sample vessel holder moves along the conveyor and at a position past which at least the sample vessel holding section moves. This enables individual conveyance processing to be performed for each of multiple sample vessels.

A performance value DB stores multiple states of parts comprising a system, and the consumed power of parts in those states. In addition, a condition DB stores conditions when the states of the parts change. A calculator generates state sequences in which the states are arrayed in the order of change in accordance with conditions stored in the condition DB, when information indicating the states of the parts is not communicated. The calculator computes the percentage of the time the parts are in each state per unit time for each state comprising this state sequence. Furthermore, the calculator finds the products of the computed ratios and the consumed power stored in the performance value DB for each state comprising the state sequence, and estimates the sum of the products found as the consumed power of the part.

A sample transfer mechanism of the present invention is characterized broadly by a sample gripping method in which a downward part of a sample vessel is gripped and a cover that achieves an effect as a guide such that gripping arms that grip the sample vessel avoid contact with other objects and bypass surrounding objects, particularly, the sample vessels in approaching and retracting motions. To enhance the effect as the guide and to ensure that the sample vessels can be mounted with a high degree of integration, the shape of the cover and disposition of the sample transfer mechanism are characterized in a number of manners. Thus, a sample transfer mechanism that can perform a transfer process safely with high throughput even under conditions in which a variety of types of sample vessels is mixed together and the sample vessels are mounted with a high degree of integration is provided.

An upper endof a nozzle tipis adapted to have an inside diameter dimension smaller than an outside diameter of a lower portion of a barrel, so that nozzle tipsare not piled up. An upper curved surface, which is curved in an outer direction of the nozzle tipstarting with a boundary portion between the barreland a leading end openingof the nozzle tipand the leading end opening, is formed. A lower curved surfaceis formed continuously from the upper curved surfaceto be curved in an inner direction. An angle formed between a line tangent to a boundary portionbetween the upper curved surfaceand the lower curved surfaceand a center axis of the nozzle tipis adapted to fall within a range between 45&#xb0; and 20&#xb0;.
