    Abstract: Provided is a technique for increasing discriminating ability, preventing human error, and improving efficiency of discrimination in a discrimination operation for extracting a sample satisfying a specific condition from among a plurality of samples. A sample discrimination system according to the present disclosure is provided with a plurality of sample retaining devices for retaining samples, and a sample information query device for querying a sample retaining device that matches predetermined query information from among the plurality of sample retaining devices. The sample information query device has a query information input unit for inputting of predetermined query information, and a query information transmission unit for transmitting predetermined query information to the sample retaining devices. The sample retaining devices are each characterized by having a storage unit for storing sample information, a comparison unit for comparing predetermined query information and sample information, and a first display unit for outputting the result of comparison by the comparison unit.

    Abstract: A transport device and a transport method efficiently increase a thrust to suppress power consumption. The transport device has a first magnetic body on a side of a to-be-transported object, a magnetic circuit with a core consisting of a second magnetic body, and a winding wound around an outside of the core, and a drive circuit supplying a current to the winding of the magnetic circuit. The magnetic circuit has first and second magnetic circuits, and in a case where the first magnetic body is located on a side of the second magnetic circuit relative to a first predetermined position between the first magnetic circuit and the second magnetic circuit, the drive circuit supplies a current to a winding of the first magnetic circuit in such a manner to cause an electromagnetic repulsive force to be generated between the first magnetic body and the first magnetic circuit.
