  • Patent number: 10667726
    Abstract: A gait posture meter that evaluates a gait posture of a measurement subject includes an accelerometer affixed to a centerline of the measurement subject's waist area and a computation unit. The computation unit calculates a Z feature amount and an X feature amount indicating a degree of a difference between up-down and front-rear axis direction accelerations of the waist area in a left leg reference period and up-down and front-rear axis direction accelerations of the waist area in a right leg reference period using a timewise change waveform in three axis accelerations outputted by the accelerometer, and calculates a Y feature amount indicating a degree of a difference between a displacement of a left-right axis direction trajectory of the waist area in the left leg reference period and a displacement of the left-right axis direction trajectory of the waist area in the right leg reference period by finding a second-level integration of the left-right axis acceleration outputted by the accelerometer.

  • Patent number: 10646124
    Abstract: A pulse wave signal expressing a pulse is obtained by detecting a pulse of a measurement subject using a pulse wave sensor. The pulse wave signal is stored in a storage unit. A frequency spectrum of the pulse wave signal is found by converting the time-domain pulse wave signal stored in the storage unit into the frequency domain. It is determined whether or not the measurement subject is at rest by finding a frequency range, within a predetermined total frequency range the pulse rate of a person can take on, in which an intensity of a frequency component of the frequency spectrum exceeds a first threshold, and finding whether or not a ratio of the frequency range with respect to the total frequency range is less than a second threshold. A pulse rate from the point in time when the measurement subject has been determined to be at rest is found as the measurement subject's at-rest pulse rate.

  • Publication number: 20200138327
    Abstract: A biometric antenna device of the present invention includes: a conductor layer configured to face the measurement site for emitting and/or receiving the radio wave; and a dielectric layer mounted along a facing surface facing the measurement site of the conductor layer or of a base material mounting the conductor layer and extending in parallel with the conductor layer, the dielectric layer having a predetermined relative permittivity. The dielectric layer keeps a distance between an outer surface of the measurement site and the conductor layer constant, in a mounted state in which a second surface on a side opposite to a side of a first surface on a side along the conductor layer of the dielectric layer abuts on an outer surface of the measurement site.

  • Publication number: 20200138304
    Abstract: An antenna device for biological measurement according to the present invention includes a belt to be worn as surrounding a measurement target site of a living body. A transmission/reception antenna group is provided to the belt and includes a plurality of antenna elements. In a wearing state where the belt is worn as surrounding an outer surface of the measurement target site, a radio wave is emitted toward the measurement target site using any one of the antenna elements as a transmission antenna. A reflected radio wave is received using any one of the antenna elements as a reception antenna. A transmission/reception antenna pair formed of the transmission antenna and the reception antenna is selected by switching or weighted among the plurality of antenna elements based on a reception output.

  • Patent number: 10639470
    Abstract: The present invention includes a guiding engagement portion configured such that a holder and a main body portion for supplying a low-frequency pulse current to a pad engage in a state in which the main body portion is attached to the holder, and the holder and the main body portion are disengaged in a state in which the main body portion is removed. The guiding engagement portion is formed so as to allow the holder and the main body portion to engage by moving in a direction of approaching each other during the attachment, and during the removal, disengage the holder and the main body portion by restricting movement in a direction opposite to the movement direction during the attachment, and allowing the main body portion to move with respect to the holder in a direction intersecting the direction of approaching each other.

  • Patent number: 10603683
    Abstract: An ultrasonic vibrator driving apparatus applies a sine-waveform alternating voltage as a drive voltage via a conversion circuit to an ultrasonic vibrator that has a unique resonance frequency. A first current detector that detects a first current that flows from the drive voltage generator to the conversion circuit and a second current detector that detects a second current that flows from the conversion circuit to the ultrasonic vibrator are included. A frequency controller performs control on the drive voltage generator to change the frequency of a square-waveform alternating voltage so that the difference between the first current and the second current is reduced or approaches a minimum.
