Specimen Transportation Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18266662 titled 'Specimen Transportation Device
Simplified Explanation
The present invention involves a specimen carrying device that controls liquid shaking during transportation while maintaining high precision in stopping the specimen at the device start-up. The device includes coils, a coil drive unit, and a control unit. The control unit determines liquid shaking based on velocity fluctuations of the specimen and adjusts the current in the coils accordingly to control the shaking.
- Coils transport a transportation container of a specimen
- Control unit determines liquid shaking based on velocity fluctuations
- Adjusts current in coils to control shaking and maintain precision in stopping position
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries where precise transportation of liquid specimens is required, such as medical laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and research facilities.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of liquid shaking during transportation, which can affect the accuracy and integrity of the specimen being transported. By controlling the shaking, the device ensures that the specimen remains in the correct position when the device starts up.
Benefits
- Maintains high precision in stopping position of specimen - Controls liquid shaking during transportation - Ensures accuracy and integrity of the specimen
Potential Commercial Applications
- Medical laboratories - Pharmaceutical companies - Research facilities
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be devices that transport liquid specimens without the ability to control liquid shaking during transportation.

Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention controls liquid shaking during transportation while maintaining high-precision with respect to the stopping position of a specimen at the time of device start-up. This specimen carrying device includes a plurality of coils that transport a transportation container of a specimen, a coil drive unit, and a control unit, wherein: the control unit includes a liquid shaking determination unit that determines liquid shaking of the specimen from a velocity fluctuation of the specimen; the control unit sets, near a stopping coil that is nearest to the stopping position of the specimen, a first section S on a side separated from the stopping coil and a second section S on a side nearer to the stopping coil than the first section S, and sets a first current as a current that energizes the stopping coil when the specimen is in the first section S and a second current as a current that energizes the stopping coil when the specimen is in the second section S; and the first current is set, on the basis of determination information of the liquid shaking determination unit , to a magnitude whereby the liquid shaking of the specimen is controlled, and the second current is set to a current value larger than that of the first current.
