Publication number: 20240057982Abstract: A plurality of color sensing sections are attached to a toilet seat so as to test a health state or a fecal occult blood portion every time by capturing the feces surface color during defecation. Before feces which have been excreted from a body sink into a water-seal portion, the circumference of the feces is optically captured to detect the color of the surface of the feces. By monitoring changes in color, the health state of the defecator is monitored. In particular, by checking the presence/absence of an occult blood portion, the present invention assists in early detection of colorectal cancer and allows a fecal occult blood test to be performed in a hygienic manner without burdening the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicants: SETECH CO., LTD., TOTO LTD.Inventor: Hirokazu SEKINE

Patent number: 10157945Abstract: A solid state imaging device for a wafer-level pinhole camera module is provided by using a mask transfer technique to form, with a high degree of precision, pinhole openings in a light-shielding material formed upon cover glass covering the surfaces of imaging elements for wafer-level camera modules, and then dicing. Also provided is a manufacturing method therefor. Further provided is a compound-eye camera system in which a plurality of pinhole openings are formed. It is also possible to impart an apodization effect by changing the cross-sectional shape of the opening in the light-shielding material to a tapered shape to thereby change the transmission characteristics thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2015Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: SETECH CO., LTD.Inventor: Hirokazu Sekine

Patent number: 10008521Abstract: A backside illumination-type solid-state imaging device is provided in which an amount of accumulated charge of a photodiode is increased and a read out path of a stacked-type photodiode is simplified. A photodiode of a backside illumination-type solid-state imaging device is made to be of an accumulation gate structure, and thereby the amount of accumulated charge and sensitivity are increased. Further, a barrier region is provided in the direction of incident light so as to separate the photodiode, and the height of barrier at the barrier region is controlled by a pulse voltage applied to the accumulation gate, so that transfer of signal charges between the stacked-type photodiodes separated in the direction of incident light is controlled, making reading out of the stacked-type photodiode simple.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2014Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: SETECH CO., LTD.Inventor: Hirokazu Sekine

Patent number: 9924076Abstract: An object is to provide a motion detection solid-state image-capturing device and a motion detection system having a reduced power consumption and an improved motion detection accuracy. One solution is to combine together signals of a longer exposure time for a plurality of pixels and signals of a shorter exposure time for a plurality of pixels, which signals are output from a motion detection image-capturing device, and to determine the presence/absence of a moving object based on a differential signal between the signals of a longer exposure time and the signals of a shorter exposure time, wherein if it is determined that there is no moving object, at least part of a circuit of a motion detection image processing device or a video management device is stopped, thereby improving the detection accuracy and conserving the electric power.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2013Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: SETECH CO., LTD.Inventor: Hirokazu Sekine
