  • Patent number: 11686640
    Abstract: A mask fitting level determination device includes a mask inner pressure detection unit inserted between a mask covering a mouth, nose and a face surface of a person to measure a pressure inside the mask. A circuit control unit derives information of a pressure value measured by the mask inner pressure detection unit and generates display information for the person wearing the mask. A determination display unit shows the person the display information generated by the circuit control unit. A battery unit supplies electricity to the circuit control unit and the determination display unit. A power supply switch starts and stops the supply of the electricity to the circuit control unit and the determination display unit. A start switch starts the mask inner pressure detection operation.

  • Patent number: 9015868
    Abstract: A fog-resistant structure and a protective device for eyes is configured such that a transparent conductive film is formed on one surface of a lens or shield, a linear electrode is provided on upper and lower portions of the surface of the lens or shield so that each of a central region and opposite side regions of the lens or shield has substantially equal spacing between the upper and lower linear electrodes. Thus each region of the lens or shield has no difference in temperature without regulating power supplied to the transparent conductive film, thereby eliminating wasted power consumption and allowing even a structure using a battery as the power supply to have much longer available time.
