Sales of novel coronavirus detection kits and fully automatic PCR testing systems also increased . For the Medical Systems segment , sales started to recover especially in Japan . For the Industrial Machinery segment , turbomolecular pumps sales were strong for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and hydraulic equipment sales were also strong due to a recovery in capital equipment investment levels .
