Abstract: An aspect of the present invention is a state estimation device including a cardiac state time series acquisition unit that acquires a cardiac state time series that is a time series of a cardiac state quantity that is a quantity indicating a state of a heart as an estimation target, and a cardiac state estimation unit that estimates a state of the heart as the estimation target based on an occurrence time of out-of-range data, using, as the out-of-range data, a non-responsive period sample whose value is outside a threshold region of processing determined according to a distribution of the non-responsive period sample among non-responsive period samples that are non-responsive period samples among samples of the cardiac state time series acquired by the cardiac state time series acquisition unit.

Abstract: A state estimation device includes an information acquisition unit acquiring at least one of (i) electrode acquisition information indicating an electromagnetic time series that is a time series of an electromagnetic quantity that is an electromagnetic force, field, or energy applied to an electrode from which a signal indicating a state of a heart of an estimation target is acquirable or (ii) environment information that is information on a time series of an environmental quantity that is an amount related to one or both of a state of motion of the estimation target and an environment in which the estimation target is present; and an estimation unit using at least one of the electrode acquisition information or the environment information to determine whether an electrode event, which is an abnormality in acquisition of a signal indicating the state of the heart of the estimation target by the electrode, has occurred.

Abstract: A composite elastic yarn includes a polyolefin-based elastic fiber and a polyolefin-based inelastic fiber. A cross-linked polyolefin-based elastic fiber, for example, is employed as the polyolefin-based elastic fiber, and a high molecular-weight polyethylene fiber having a weight average molecular weight of at least 10×105, for example, is employed as the polyolefin-based inelastic fiber. Such a composite elastic yarn is suitable for use as a glove material. The yarn may be used to produce a stretchable fabric with a watermark-like pattern including a cross-linked polyeolefin-based elastic fiber and an inelastic fiber, and having a watermark-like pattern produced by complete or incomplete removal of the inelastic fiber with partial burn-out printing.

Abstract: A fixing board, for an attraction-fastening type freight carrying device to be mounted on the roof of a motor vehicle, has been improved. The fixing board is composed of a magnetic attraction force contact plate, a film-like suction-cup, and a releasing handle. The magnetic attraction force contact plate has a three-layer structure comprising a soft magnet plate, an iron plate and smooth thin-film sheet coated on the iron plate. The iron plate has a plurality of grooves radially extending, which are elongated dead-end grooves. Further, the magnetic attraction force contact plate has a through-hole into which a substantially cylindrical seal lip extending from the suction film is inserted so as to make an air value. This air hole takes on a closed state when the freight carrying device is installed on the vehicle roof, and takes on an open state when being removed therefrom. The film-like suction-cup is formed throughout the circumference of the magnetic attraction force contact plate.
