  • Publication number: 20240081667
    Abstract: The present invention includes a pressing cuff for compressing a measurement target site. A sensing cuff containing a pressure transmission fluid is provided on an inner circumferential side of the pressing cuff. A pressure at a rising start point and a pressure at a peak point indicated by a pressure pulse wave for each beat are obtained by subtracting a direct current component of data representing a pressure of the pressing cuff from data representing a pressure of the sensing cuff in the process of depressurization. A first time point at which the pressure at the peak point for each beat transitions between a zero level and a positive value is obtained. A second time point at which the pressure at the rising start point for each beat transitions between the zero level and the positive value is obtained.

  • Patent number: 11918326
    Abstract: In a sphygmomanometer of the present invention, a cuff is attached to a rotating shaft on a rear surface side opposite to a front surface side arranged facing a subject during blood pressure measurement. A swing mechanism maintains a tilt angle of a central axis of the cuff with respect to a horizontal plane at a certain standby angle in a standby state of an upper arm not being inserted into the cuff, and also allows the tilt angle of the cuff to become either larger or smaller than the standby angle by the upper arm being inserted into the cuff.

  • Patent number: 11903481
    Abstract: The plaque detecting device of the present invention comprises a light emitting unit (450) which irradiates ultraviolet or blue excitation light (L) toward the tooth surface (99a), and a first and second light receiving units (402) which receive radiated light (L?) from the tooth surface (99a). The first light receiving unit extracts the spectral component of a first wavelength region including the wavelength range of fluorescent light specific to plaque from the radiated light (L?), and obtains a first output value corresponding to the intensity of that spectral component. The second light receiving unit extracts, from the radiated light (L?), the spectral component of a second wavelength region containing the wavelength range of the fluorescent light specific to enamel and having a predetermined lower limit wavelength below the lower limit wavelength of the first wavelength region, and obtains a second output value corresponding to the intensity of this spectral component.
