A monitor data acquisition section acquires a plurality of monitor data relating to a processing state of one sample in a processing apparatus, via sensors. The actuator can include an opening through which the camshaft extends, and the cam can be accommodated within the opening and can engage a cam follower formed on an inner wall of the opening. Also, position information and the current status of each dispatch staff member is obtained at any time from portable terminals of the dispatch staff members, and based on this information, markings representing the dispatch staff members in the vicinity of the dispatch location are displayed on the map, allowing a staff member to be dispatched to be quickly and appropriately selected. The materials of the present invention are useful in making low-loss optical devices for telecommunications applications. Another electrical cable is connected to a pin, which is inserted into the collet.
