Tile Spacing Device and Accompanying System and Method
20220074213 · 2022-03-10 ·

A tile spacing device and accompanying system and method are disclosed for spacing a plurality of tiles having a contour. In one embodiment of the tile spacing device, the tile spacing device includes a U-shaped band having a body with two branches extending parallel therefrom and an opening therebetween. An arm having a lateral end extends proximally from one of the branches into the opening. Two interlocking connectors are respectively positioned on the body at the opening and on the arm. In one embodiment of the system, two tile spacing devices complimentarily releasably mate when the tile spacing devices are opposing and perpendicularly displaced to interlock the interlocking connectors.

OPENING APPARATUS FOR CONTAINER, ANALYSIS DEVICE, CLOSING APPARATUS FOR CONTAINER, AND REAGENT KIT
20230390943 · 2023-12-07 · ·

An opening apparatus includes a temperature adjustment section that holds a container body of a PCR container, an opening/closing unit, a moving device, and a control device. The opening and closing unit includes: a rotating member that applies a force to a lid in a direction to open the lid as the rotating member rotates with a projection in contact with the lid in a closed state; and a motor that rotates the rotating member. The moving device moves the temperature adjustment section relative to the rotating member. In conjunction with driving and thus rotating the rotating member, the control device controls the moving device so that the PCR container moves horizontally in a direction from a hinge of the PCR container toward a flange of the PCR container.
