Patent number: 11313788Abstract: A body fluid analysis device includes a light source, a detector, a normalization part, and a calculation part. The light source is configured to emit light at a first wavelength and light at a second wavelength different from each other to a body fluid. The detector is configured to receive light emitted from the light source and transmitted through the body fluid or light reflected by the body fluid, and is configured to detect intensity of the light. The normalization part is configured to calculate a ratio of an intensity of light emitted at the second wavelength to an intensity of light emitted at the first wavelength, both of which are detected by the detector. The calculation part is configured to calculate a concentration of a predetermined component included in the body fluid on the basis of the ratio calculated by the normalization part.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: GENIAL LIGHT CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryo Shimokita, Takashi Sawada, Tatsuyuki Fujita

Patent number: 11096592Abstract: A sensor module includes a light emitter that emits light beams including near-infrared light beams towards a subject; a light receiver that receives light beams having passed through the subject; and a controller that estimates biological information based on signals output from the light receiver. The light emitter includes a plurality of light emitting elements that emit near-infrared light beams having central wavelengths different from each other. The light emitter produces sets of light emissions by causing the plurality of light emitting elements to sequentially and intermittently emit the near-infrared light beams. In given two consecutive sets of light emissions produced by the light emitter, a second non-light-emission period of time T4 is longer than a first non-light-emission period of time T2. The controller estimates the biological information in a processing period of time T41 that is set in correspondence with the second non-light-emission period of time T4.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignees: ALPS ALPINE CO., LTD., Genial Light CO., LTD.Inventors: Yukio Otaki, Toshio Kawano, Naoki Ito, Ryo Shimokita
