A game apparatusis configured to communicate with a server and at least one other game apparatusvia access points. The game apparatusregisters, as a communication partner, another specific game apparatusamong the at least one other game apparatusThe game apparatusautomatically and repeatedly searches for a connectable access point among the access points. When a connectable access point has been found, the game apparatusautomatically connects to the server via the connectable access point. When the game apparatushas connected to the server by using server connection means, the game apparatusautomatically receives, from the server, management information which indicates a communication connection status of the other specific game apparatusregistered as the communication partner.

Communication system, information processing apparatus, computer-readable storage medium having a program stored therein, and information processing method

Methods and apparatuses for dispensing samples or reagents onto a target object are provided. A dispensing position designating section () designates the dispensing position on the target object (), such as a membrane, based on an image of the target object () displayed on a monitoring section (). A dispensing control section () positions the target object and the dispensing device relative to each other so that the designated dispensing position on the target object is placed beneath the dispensing device () and controls the dispensing operation of the dispensing device (). A dispensing position information creating section () creates dispensing position information about the dispensing position on the target object () which is designated by the dispensing position designating section () and to which the dispensing operation has been performed and outputs it to the outside.

Liquid portioning method and device

A gel process plate is formed of a base member with a plurality of concave portions, and a lid member with a plurality of convex portions. Each concave portion has a bottom surface provided with holes for allowing a liquid to pass therethrough. Each convex portion has a height less than a depth of the concave portion of the base member, and a top surface with holes for allowing the liquid to pass therethrough. The convex portions are disposed at portions corresponding to the concave portions of the base member to fit the concave portions. When the base member and the lid member are assembled, a space is defined between the bottom surface of the concave portion and the top surface of the convex portion to hold a piece, i.e. gel piece, therein for processing.
