Patent number: 11906388Abstract: A beam irradiation unit (a collimator unit, a processing head, and a nozzle) includes a plurality of optical components, and is configured to convert a laser beam, which is divergent light, to collimated light and then to condense the light to irradiate a sheet metal. A photodetection element (a photodiode) detects intensity of reflected light reflected by an inspected optical component that is one of the plurality of optical components. A control device (an NC device) controls irradiation of a pierced hole with the laser beam as inspection light, subsequently to piercing the portion of the sheet metal to be cut to manufacture a product, and compares, with a threshold, the intensity of the reflected light detected by the photodetection element during the irradiation with the inspection light, to detect whether the inspected optical component is deteriorated, or a degree of the deterioration.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Amada Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hiroshi Koshimizu

Patent number: 11574554Abstract: A goal management system receives input of a qualitative first goal related to a body of a user (step S111), identifies a quantitative second goal related to the body of the user from the first goal thus received (step S112 to step S117), and presents the second goal thus identified (step S118). The first goal is converted into the quantitative goal for at least one of a plurality of feature amounts related to the body, thereby identifying the second goal including at least one goal obtained by such conversion. The first goal is converted into the quantitative goal for each feature amount corresponding to a meaning obtained by linguistic analysis. When there are a plurality of meanings obtained by linguistic analysis of the first goal, the first goal is converted into the quantitative goal for each feature amount on the basis of a range of each feature amount per meaning.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignees: OMRON HEALTHCARE CO., LTD., OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Sho Nagayoshi, Hiroshi Koshimizu, Ken Miyagawa, Keiichi Obayashi

Patent number: 11510581Abstract: A blood pressure measurement method includes wrapping a cuff around a site. The cuff includes: a first bladder that swells due to receiving fluid and is arranged at an outer surface of the site that corresponds to a first half surface where an artery is; and a second bladder that swells due to receiving fluid and is arranged at the outer circumferential surface of the measurement site that corresponds to a second half surface opposite to the first half surface. During inflation, the pressure of the second bladder is made larger than the first bladder by supplying more fluid such that the stroke amount by which the second fluid bladder swells is larger in the thickness direction. Then, the two bladders are inflated at equal rates. In the process of inflating, or in the process of deflating at rates equal to each other after inflating, blood pressure is measured.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihide Tokko, Ryosuke Doi, Hiroshi Koshimizu, Kenji Ono

Patent number: 11457838Abstract: Whether intervention is necessary is assessed due to an occurrence of a divergence of a current value of a predetermined index from a route corresponding to a transition in value of the predetermined index to a target value of the predetermined index for reaching a target relating to a body of a user (steps S141 to S147), and, when intervention is assessed to be necessary, using an intervention result per each of persons intervening relating to a target index stored in a storage unit, a person with a high contribution toward reaching the target from among persons intervening for the user is determined (steps S151 and S152), and processing for prompting the determined person for intervention is executed (step S155). A timing with a high contribution is determined using an intervention result stored in the storage unit that further stores intervention results per each intervention timing relating to a target index.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignees: OMRON HEALTHCARE CO., LTD., OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Sho Nagayoshi, Hiroshi Koshimizu, Ken Miyagawa, Keiichi Obayashi

Patent number: 10765366Abstract: An appliance includes a belt that is worn by being wound around a wrist. The appliance includes: at least a first display region that is positioned in an area of the belt that corresponds to a volar-side surface or a radius-side surface of the wrist; and a second display region that is positioned in an area of the belt that corresponds to a back-side surface of the wrist. During a blood pressure measurement period, first control for displaying ongoing blood pressure measurement information only on the first display region is performed, and during a period other than the blood pressure measurement period, second control for displaying information that needs to be displayed on the first or second display region is performed.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yuma Adachi, Kengo Nishiyama, Hiroshi Koshimizu, Yoshihide Tokko, Yuka Tanabe, Kenji Ono, Ryosuke Doi, Hiroaki Aoyama, Eisuke Yamazaki, Minoru Taniguchi, Chisato Tawara, Shusuke Eshita, Masayuki Fukutsuka

Publication number: 20200234226Abstract: A storage unit stores a value indicating a change in a value for a body with respect to an action in type or amount and uses the value stored therein and indicating the change to predict a value indicating a change in a value for the body of a user for each action of the user, and presents the value indicating the change as predicted. A value indicating a change arising when a prescribed action is performed and a value indicating a change arising when the prescribed action is not performed are predicted. The storage unit stores a value indicating how the value for the body of the user changes with respect to the user's action in type or amount. The storage unit stores values indicating how values for bodies of a plurality of people change with respect to actions of the plurality of people in type or amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2020Publication date: July 23, 2020Applicants: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd., OMRON CorporationInventors: Sho NAGAYOSHI, Hiroshi KOSHIMIZU, Ken MIYAGAWA, Keiichi OBAYASHI

Patent number: 10383529Abstract: A fluid bladder has a first fluid bladder region that inflates due to receiving a supply of fluid and is contained in a portion of an outer circumferential surface of a measurement site in a lengthwise direction of a cuff, the portion corresponding to a first half surface, where an artery is. Also, the fluid bladder has an expansion region that is expanded due to an action from outside, and is contained at a portion of the outer circumferential surface of the measurement site that corresponds to a second half surface, in the lengthwise direction of the cuff. During inflation for blood pressure measurement, a stroke amount by which the expansion region expands is larger in the thickness direction than a stroke amount by which the first fluid bladder region swells.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihide Tokko, Ryosuke Doi, Hiroshi Koshimizu, Kenji Ono
