Abstract: Information representing an activity intensity computed from a measured step count is transmitted from a first pedometer to a second pedometer as step count-related information. In the second pedometer, walking compatibility is determined based on the difference between the activity intensity in the first pedometer and the activity intensity in the second pedometer, and the determination result is displayed on both pedometers.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a biological information acquiring system and a biological information acquiring method capable of enhancing the calculation accuracy to more accurately calculate the exercise effect information, and capable of enhancing the satisfaction level of the user. In a biological information acquiring system, a body composition meter is configured to acquire pre-exercise body composition data measured before start of exercise and post-exercise body composition data measured after end of exercise. A pedometer is configured to acquire vibration data during exercise.

Abstract: A sphygmomanometer (1) stores a parameter for calculating a blood pressure value from a measurement value with clothes on from a measurement value with clothes off at a measurement site and the measurement value with clothes on in advance. When a with-clothes mode is selected with a button (3-4) in measuring the blood pressure, the blood pressure value is calculated using the parameter stored with respect to the measurement value.

Abstract: A blood pressure measurement bladder (50) has a predetermined amount of air introduced and sealed therein. A CPU (30) measures in advance the P-V property. The blood pressure measurement bladder (50) is wrapped around a measurement site. By exerting pressure from the outer side to the blood pressure measurement bladder (50), the internal pressure in the blood pressure measurement bladder (50) is increased to exert pressure on the blood vessel. During this process, the cuff pressure in the blood pressure measurement bladder (50) generated by volumetric change of the blood vessel by changing the pressure exerted from the outer side to the blood pressure measurement bladder (50), and the pressure pulse wave data are detected. By adding the cuff compliance property obtained by the P-V property that was measured in advance to the detected data as a correction value of the pressure pulse wave, blood pressure is calculated.

Abstract: A control unit determines the level of sleep of a subject on the basis of biological information measured by a biological information measuring unit starts blood pressure measurement of the subject upon determining that the determined level of sleep satisfies a predetermined condition. The control unit stores the result of the blood pressure measurement in a memory.

Abstract: A blood pressure measuring apparatus controls a winding mechanism in parallel with increase or decrease of a pressure of a measuring fluid bladder after the measuring fluid bladder is wound around a measurement region. Therefore, a change in a winding state of the measuring fluid bladder is prevented. Additionally, measurement accuracy is improved by keeping compliance of the measuring fluid bladder constant.

Abstract: A blood pressure measuring apparatus includes a plurality of mechanisms compressing a cuff, and the mechanisms are separately controlled. Therefore, a stable measurement attitude is maintained irrespective of a circumference or a shape of an upper arm. Compression degrees are separately controlled, whereby a pressure can evenly be applied to the cuff to improve a compression force acting on an artery.

Abstract: A sphygmomanometer cuff is used by being wrapped around an upper arm, and includes an air bladder, a cover body, and a cushion material. The air bladder is inflated/contracted by in/out of fluid, and includes a compression acting surface positioned on the upper arm side when the sphygmomanometer cuff is wrapped around the upper arm. The cover body internally includes the air bladder, and includes an inner peripheral side sheet portion positioned on the upper arm side when the sphygmomanometer cuff is wrapped around the upper arm. The cushion material is positioned on the inner peripheral side sheet portion side than the compression acting surface, and is compressible in a direction parallel to a thickness direction of the inner peripheral side sheet portion. According to such a configuration, the internal bleeding at the measuring site that may occur when measuring the blood pressure is reliably prevented.

Abstract: A method of controlling an output of an internal combustion engine having an electronic governor device and/or that of at least one variable displacement hydraulic pump driven by the engine in which, when the engine is operated in a range of high speed revolutions approximately equal to or exceeding the number of revolutions of the engine at a rated point on a governor control curve specific to the engine, the engine is operated by the action of the electonic governor device at a given point of a curve of equal horsepower of the engine where an engine output torque is higher than that in the high speed revolution range and where fuel consumption is lower than that in the range.
