  • Patent number: 11998360
    Abstract: A wearable device attached to a subject includes an accelerometer that measures acceleration information, and a biological sensor that measures biological signal information of the subject. From the measured acceleration information and biological signal information, first feature data corresponding to a first predetermined period and second feature data corresponding to a second predetermined period are extracted. By machine learning based on the first feature data, a dynamic/static activity identification model, a dynamic-activity identification model, and a static-activity identification model, for the subject, are generated. By combination of results of determination based on each of the identification models, a posture and an activity of the subject are identified and correspondence information, which associates the identified posture and activity with the biological signal information of the subject, is generated.

    Abstract: In a sheet overlap detection apparatus, an amplification factor control unit changes the amplification factor of a second amplifier which amplifies the output from a first amplifier which receives the output from an ultrasonic receiver. A first overlap detection monitor output decision unit decides the output from the second amplifier as a sheet overlap detection monitor output when the amplification factor of the second amplifier is adjusted, and the output value of the second amplifier has become almost equal to a first set value while one sheet is sandwiched between an ultrasonic transmitter and the ultrasonic receiver.
