Abstract: There is provided a mobile blood-sugar level measuring system enabling a diabetic patient to accurately and easily perform management of blood-sugar level measurement timing, management of changes in blood-sugar level, and further prediction of a future blood-sugar level. The blood-sugar level measuring system is formed by using a blood-sugar level processing device including a data-arithmetic-processing unit for arithmetically processing the measurement-data, an external data importing unit for entering and accumulating external data on blood-sugar level, a display device for displaying the result of the arithmetic-processing, and a display device control unit for controlling the display device, in combination with a conventional, mobile blood-sugar level monitoring device.

Abstract: There is provided a mobile blood-sugar level monitoring device enabling a diabetic patient to accurately and easily perform management of blood-sugar level measurement timing, management of changes in blood-sugar level, and further prediction of a future blood-sugar level. The mobile blood-sugar level monitoring device having the function to measure the blood-sugar level and manage the obtained measurement data is provided with a data arithmetic-processing unit for arithmetically processing the measurement data by a predetermined method, displaying the result of the arithmetic process, and notifying measurement-timing for the blood-sugar level and a predicted blood-sugar level to the diabetic patient.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide an inexpensive transmission apparatus which has the function of receiving standard television broadcasting, uses a minute-power wave, and is able to coexist with future digital television broadcasting or mobile communication equipment which will use the same frequency band as that of the transmission apparatus. By using an RF converter 102 and an RF tuner 118 which are adapted to a standard television signal, available frequencies within the reception band are detected, and the use frequency is rapidly changed to spread the spectrum, thereby performing communication by the minute-power wave.

Abstract: The present invention confirms whether a caregiven person, such as a solitary advanced aged person, is living a normal daily life, while respecting the privacy when the caregiven person is in a normal state. The present invention further outputs a detailed video with a warning to a caregiver when the caregiven person has fallen into an abnormal state.

Abstract: A sawing machine having a spindle and circular saws thereon adapted to rotate with and axially slidably mounted on the spindle. A movable joint member or a one-way clutch is provided between the spindle and the saws. While the spindle is rotating at a low speed or is at a stop, the joint member or the clutch is in its inoperative position, keeping the saws disengaged from the spindle so that the distances between the adjacent saws can be adjusted freely. When the spindle begins to rotate at a high speed, the joint member is moved outwardly or the clutch is engaged by centrifugal force, thus locking the circular saws to the spindle.

Abstract: A method for preventing deterioration of a food is disclosed wherein an oosaccharide originating from agar or carrageenan or both agar and carrageenan are added to the food. The method is effective to prevent deterioration of foods attributed to retrogradation of gelatinized starch.
