Description
本出願は、2013年3月15日出願の米国特許仮出願第61/790,446号、表題「Specimen Gripper」の優先権を主張する。本出願は、2012年10月16日出願の米国特許仮出願第61/714,656号、表題「Specimen Gripper」の優先権を更に主張する。これら全ての出願は、全ての目的のために参照により、それら全体が本明細書に組み込まれる。
従来の医療ラボラトリシステムは、患者のサンプルを処理するための多くの構成要素を含み、これらは自動化されたものもあれば、手動操作を必要とするものもある。現在のラボラトリシステムは、これらの自動化された構成要素により、より効率がよくなってきた。しかしながら、依然、サンプルを分析するのにかかる時間、人の介入に対する依存度、及びこのようなシステムを収容するために必要な空間を節約するために自動化され得るいくつかの医療ラボラトリシステムの構成要素がある。
図3を参照して、本明細書に記載の様々な関係対象及び要素は、本明細書に記載の機能を促進するための1つ以上のコンピュータ装置を操作してもよい。任意のサーバ、プロセッサ、又はデータベースを含む上記の任意の要素は、本明細書に記載の機能(例えば、ラボラトリオートメーションシステム、運搬システム、スケジューラ、中央コントローラ、ローカルコントローラなどの機能ユニット及びモジュールを操作並びに/又は制御するための機能など)を促進するために、任意の適した数のサブシステムを使用してもよい。
