Abstract: A laser beam irradiation device is equipped with a very strict safety arrangement, thereby assuring that a user can use it safely. A hand-held applicator has a face formed on its top, and a push button switch on its side. The face has a spherical lens press-fitted in its center hole, and the face has a hollow cylinder integrally connected to its circumference, encircling the spherical lens. The hand-held applicator is applied to one's skin by the hollow cylinder at its edge. The hollow cylinder has a cylindrical electrode embedded in and somewhat projecting forward. A heat sink is placed behind the spherical lens, and a semiconductor laser diode is press-fitted in the through hole, which is made in the center of the heat sink. A cooling fan is placed behind the heat sink.

Abstract: A laser beam irradiation device according to the present invention is so constructed that it may increase or decrease the excitation electric current flowing through its semiconductor laser diode to enable a user to selectively practice both non-thermal and photo-thermal laser treatments. CPU 41 is responsive to switching-on and -off of an output-power switching unit S2 for sending a reference signal to an amplifier 472 via an I/O port 44 and a D/A converter 471, so that the amplifier 472 may provide at its output terminals a reference voltage, with respect to which a control reference voltage for a desired laser output can be determined. Semiconductor laser diode 35 radiates the laser beam from its opposite sides, and a photo-diode 473 receives one of the opposite laser beams to provide a light-accepting voltage at its output terminals. The so acquired light-accepting voltage is directed to an amplifier 474 for amplification, thereby obtaining the monitor voltage.

Abstract: Disclosed is an exercise amount measuring device comprising: means for calculating the body fat percentage from the bioelectrical impedance of an individual and the personal data of the individual; means for determining the body shape of the individual and the amount of the basal metabolism of the individual from the personal data and the calculated body fat percentage; means for calculating the “to-be-consumed” body fat amount by subtracting a given body fat percentage set for a goal from the measured body fat percentage; means for calculating the “to-be-consumed” calorie amount required for reducing the “to-be-consumed” body fat amount; means for changing the “to-be-consumed” calorie amount to the corresponding amount of exercise and for setting the so converted amount of exercise as a goal; means for calculating the actual amount of exercise and the consumed calorie amount from the detected motions of the living body and the acceleration of the motion of the living body; and means for calculating the remai

Abstract: Disclosed is an exercise amount measuring device using as an exercise signal generator an inclination detector commercially available, which can detect two-dimensional movements. Use of such inclination detectors facilitates the assembly of exercise amount measuring devices. The inclination detector 1 is connected to a counter circuit via an input circuit, and the input circuit and the counter circuit are connected to an MPU via an input-and-output port. The input circuit comprises a CR circuit or a flip-flop circuit. The counter circuit counts input pulses post-chattering exclusion, which input pulses are caused by the on-and-off switching actions, which are brought every time the contact ball touches selected contact electrodes in the inclination detector.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved wearable calorie calculator, which takes the degree of active strength and the quantity of basal metabolism into account to calculate the total number of calories consumed each day with precision, and which visually informs the wearer of the goal or outcome of exercises. The calorie calculator comprises: a housing 1 having a display D equipped therewith, the housing 1 being wearable to a selected part of one's body; electrodes E1 and E2 for determining bioelectric impedance; momentum gauge means 190 responsive to three-dimensional body movements for determining the momentum of a wearer; cardiac rate measuring means 210; individual data inputting means 120; body fat percentage calculator means 130; basal metabolism calculator means 140; a daily consumption calorie calculator means 220; whereby at least the body fat percentage and the total number of calories consumed a day are given on the display D.

Abstract: A pulse health device which can impart a sufficient treatment efffect even to the periphery of waist part where waist part, hip part and abdoment part having an irregular shape exist closely to each other. An electrode belt 5 of the pulse health device 1 has has a slit 57 made along the longitudinal direction thereof between planar electrodes H1, H3 on the uper stage side and planar electrodes H2, H4 on the lower stage side. When the electrode belt 5 is applied to the periphery of waist part where the parts of a human body having an irregular shape exist closely to each other, the pulse health device 1 can absorb variation of shape through the slit 57 and since the planar electrodes H1, H2, H3 and H4 can touch the peripehry of the waist part stably, a sufficient treatment effect can be imparted.
