The objective of the present disclosure is to provide a technique for reducing a quantity of magnetic particles remaining on a reaction vessel wall surface in a cleaning step for reducing, in a stepwise manner, an amount of a magnetic particle solution in the reaction vessel. The automated analysis device according to the present disclosure causes an agitating mechanism to operate in such a way that a magnetic substance remaining on the wall surface of the vessel in the previous cleaning step is captured by a cleaning solution in the next cleaning step.

Automated analysis device

An automatic analyzer which realizes stable reagent heating and high dispensing accuracy includes a thermostat bath for controlling a reagent or a reaction solution in reaction cells arranged on a circumference of a reaction disk to have a constant temperature; a first reagent dispensing mechanism dispenses a reagent into the reaction cells; a photometer detects transmitted light or scattered light in the reaction cell; and a disposable reaction container for allowing the sample and the reagent to mix and react with each other. The analyzer also includes a second reagent dispensing mechanism with a reagent heating function which dispenses the reagent into the disposable reaction container; a coagulation time detection section; a reaction container temperature control block; a reagent dispensing syringe which is connected to the second reagent dispensing mechanism; and a fluid temperature control mechanism which controls the temperature of an internal fluid of the reagent dispensing syringe.

A scheme for systematically registering meta-data with respect to various types of individual data so as to enable sophisticated retrieval or application program construction assistance utilizing the meta-data in a data server is disclosed. A data type of registering data to be registered into a data server that registers and manages data and meta-data for data, and one procedure corresponding to the detected data type is selected from a plurality of procedures provided in correspondence to respective data types and stored in advance, each procedure having a program code for generating the meta-data for data according to a corresponding data type. Then, the meta-data for the registering data are generated by executing the program code of the selected procedure, and the generated meta-data are registered in relation to the registering data.

A scheme for constructing a database in a user system, which can automatically store those portions of the structured documents which contain important contents without exerting a burden on the user is disclosed. A structured document provided by a server device is obtained according to a document request made by the user system, where each structured document has a structure represented by tags in each structured document. Then, at least one important portion is automatically extracted from the structured document by utilizing the structure of the structured document according to prescribed extraction criteria specified in advance, and the extracted important portion is stored into the database, while the obtained structured document is transferred to the user system.

A method and a system for displaying multimedia data including video data. A display of video data and related information are controlled according to a movement of a pointing selection marker, a type of related information, or a distribution of pointing selection possible regions over frames of video data. Linked related information can be displayed in synchronization with a progress of a display of the video data. Information indicating a presence/absence of pointing selection possible region for currently displayed video data can also be displayed. A useful information can be obtained by collecting a statistical information on the desired positions specified by the user's pointing selection inputs. Each frame of video data can be partitioned and related information can be provided in correspondence to partitioned parts of each frame.

A multiple processor transaction processing system having both a transaction routing unit for routing each transaction generated by the transaction source to one of the transaction processors, and a data arrangement unit for determining data arrangement of the data to be used in processing the transactions by the transaction processors. The transaction routing unit routes each transaction to one of the transaction processors according to the feature parameters extracted from each transaction and the processing history information for past transactions processed by the transaction processors. The data arrangement unit determines a new data arrangement of the data in the data storage regions according to a data storage information indicating original arrangement of the data in the data storage regions and the correlation information indicating all sets of data which are accessed together in each series processing carried out by the transaction processors.
