    摘要: A channel control mechanism for a microchip has a laminated structure formed of members including elastic members, and includes: a sample reservoir for packing a sample therein; a reaction reservoir in which mixture and reaction of the sample are performed; and a channel formed in a middle layer of the laminated structure, for bringing the sample reservoir and the reaction reservoir into communication with each other. The channel control mechanism performs the reaction and analysis in such a manner that the sample is delivered into the reaction reservoir through the channel. A shutter channel (pressurizing channel) is provided in a layer different from a layer in which the channel is formed so that the pressurizing channel partially overlaps the channel. The channel is closed through applying a pressurized medium to the shutter channel (pressurizing channel), and the channel is opened through releasing a pressure of the pressurized medium.

    摘要: For heating or cooling a sample contained in a vessel portion through a heat transfer member held in contact with the vessel portion, there is used the vessel portion, which has a part formed of an elastic member, expands and contracts for injection and discharge of the sample, is closed other than a connecting port with a channel connected to the vessel, and expands and contracts for injection and discharge of the sample. The vessel portion expands correspondingly to the injection when the sample is injected through an inflow path serving as the channel into the vessel portion contracting in a non-contacting state with the heat transfer member. A predetermined amount of sample is injected into the vessel portion so as to expand the vessel portion, and the vessel portion comes into contact with the heat transfer member. The vessel portion is heated or cooled through the heat transfer member.

    摘要: A tomographic image and a tissue characteristic image that are in conformity with each other in terms of time-phase and positional relationships can be displayed superimposedly, thereby providing an excellent ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus that enables an easy and detailed observation of a relationship between a structure and a characteristic of a subject tissue. During an operation of ultrasonic wave transmission/reception (in a live mode), a control part (100) allows a tomographic image to be renewed continuously, displayed on a monitor (107), and stored in a tomographic image memory (110), while allowing an elastic modulus image as a tissue characteristic image to be renewed per heartbeat, displayed on the monitor, and stored in an elastic-modulus-image memory (111) as a tissue characteristic image memory. During a suspension of ultrasonic wave transmission/reception (in a cine mode), the control part (100) allows the elastic modulus image to be read out from the elastic-modulus-image memory and the tomographic image that is in synchronization with the elastic modulus image to be read out from the tomographic image memory, and allows these images to be displayed on the monitor.

    摘要: There is provided an excellent biological signal monitor device that allows a living tissue moving in accordance with a body motion or a vibration to be observed as if it were standing still. A reverse correction processing unit (114) subjects a B-mode image to reverse correction based on a movement amount of the living tissue detected by a movement amount detection unit (113), and outputs the B-mode image corresponding to the living tissue moving in accordance with a body motion as quasi-still image information. An arithmetic processing unit (115) subjects the quasi-still image information from the reverse correction processing unit (114) to arithmetic processing such as averaging and filter processing, so as to remove a random noise component. As a result, it is possible to display, for example, a contour portion of a blood vessel wall as the living tissue clearly.
