A reaction processing apparatus includes: a reaction processing vessel; a temperature control system; and a liquid feeding system. The liquid feeding system includes: a pump having a discharge port; a first air channel; a second air channel; a first three-way valve capable of being switched between a state in which a first air communication port communicates with the discharge port and a state in which the first air communication port is opened to the atmospheric pressure; a second three-way valve capable of being switched between a state in which a second air communication port communicates with the discharge port and a state in which the second air communication port is opened to the atmospheric pressure; and a CPU that controls these components.

Reaction processing apparatus

A reaction processing apparatus includes: a reaction processing vessel; a first fluorescence detection device that irradiates a sample with first excitation light and detects first fluorescence produced from the sample; and a second fluorescence detection device that irradiates a sample with second excitation light and detects second fluorescence produced from the sample. The wavelength range of the first fluorescence and the wavelength range of the second excitation light overlap at least partially. The first excitation light and the second excitation light flash at a predetermined duty ratio d. The phase difference between the flashing of the first excitation light and the flashing of the second excitation light is set within a range of 2&#x3c0;(pm&#x2212;&#x394;pm) (rad) to 2&#x3c0;(pm+&#x394;pm) (rad) or within a range of 2&#x3c0;[(1&#x2212;pm)&#x2212;&#x394;pm] (rad) to 2&#x3c0;[(1&#x2212;pm)+&#x394;pm] (rad), where pm=d&#x2212;d2 and &#x394;pm =0.01*pm.

A reaction processor includes: a reaction processing vessel including a channel in which a sample moves and a pair of air communication ports, a first air communication port and a second air communication port, provided at respective ends of the channel; a temperature control system that provides a medium temperature region and a high temperature region between the first air communication port and the second air communication port in the channel; and a liquid feeding system that discharges and sucks air in order to move and stop the sample inside the channel. One of the pair of air communication ports of the reaction processing vessel that is farther away from the high temperature region communicates with the liquid feeding system via a tube. One of the pair of air communication ports of the reaction processing vessel that is closer to the high temperature region is opened to atmospheric pressure.

A reaction processing vessel includes a substrate and a groove-like channel formed on the upper surface of the substrate. The channel includes a high temperature serpiginous channel, a medium temperature serpiginous channel, and a high temperature braking channel and a medium temperature braking channel that are adjacent to the high temperature serpiginous channel and the medium temperature serpiginous channel, respectively. The respective cross-sectional areas of the high temperature braking channel and the medium temperature braking channel are larger than the respective cross-sectional areas of the high temperature serpiginous channel and the medium temperature serpiginous channel, respectively.

Gene amplification chip for medical and laboratory use

It is possible to prevent unoccupied blocks from being depleted by a write of logical-physical management information. A processor is capable of performing an unoccupied user block generation process by moving user data stored in allocated user blocks in order to generate unoccupied user blocks serving as unoccupied blocks among allocated user blocks, and performing an unoccupied meta block generation process by moving meta data stored in allocated meta blocks in order to generate unoccupied meta blocks serving as unoccupied blocks among the allocated meta blocks. The processor calculates the number of unoccupied meta blocks to be consumed, that is, the number of unoccupied meta blocks to be consumed by the unoccupied user block generation process. The processor performs the unoccupied meta block generation process based on the number of unoccupied meta blocks to be consumed.

Storage device and storage device control method

A specific region in each frame image input after a detection process has been completed a predetermined number of times or more is estimated from a specific region detected from a past frame before the frame. The shift between the specific region detected from a first frame image input after the detection process has been completed the predetermined number of times or more and the specific region estimated for the first frame image is obtained. When the shift falls within a predetermined range, an encoding parameter to encode the specific region estimated for a second frame image input at a point the detection process for the first frame image has been completed with a higher image quality than that of regions other than the specific region is set.

Specified types of words are extracted from a plurality of radiology reports archived in an archive configured to archive a plurality of radiology reports. The words extracted from a single radiology report are stored in combination. In response to an input operation using an operating part of inputting the specified types of words, combinations including the specified types of words as one part are searched. A list of the specified types of words included as the other part in the searched combinations is generated. In response to an input operation using the operating part of selecting any word from the word list, a list of radiology reports including the inputted word and the selected word is generated. In response to an input operation using the operating part of selecting any report from the radiology report list, the selected radiology report is outputted from the archive to a display.
