  • Publication number: 20210360840
    Abstract: A noise suppression sheet comprises a non-magnetic metal layer, a plurality of metal magnetic layers, and a plurality of insulating layers, and the metal magnetic layer and the insulating layer are alternately laminated on the non-magnetic metal layer. The noise suppression sheet can absorb and suppress noise generated from a circuit or the like in an electronic component by being mounted on the electronic component or the like. In the noise suppression sheet, noise is absorbed by each of the metal magnetic layers. Noise that is transmitted without being absorbed by the metal magnetic layer can be reflected by the non-magnetic metal layer and can be absorbed again by the metal magnetic layer, and hence the noise suppression sheet can suppress noise effectively.

  • Publication number: 20210251506
    Abstract: An invention to measure the blood pressure of a living body in a noncontact and non-invasive manner. An experimental device irradiates a subject with microwaves from a transmission antenna and a reception antenna. The phase of the reflected wave varies with micro-movements caused by the heartbeat, a pulse wave is detected from the difference between the emitted wave and the reflected wave. The experimental device detects the blood pressure from a blood pressure sensor mounted on the subject while detecting the pulse wave. A spectrum of the pulse wave of is generated by Fourier transformation. A comparison of the spectrum and the blood pressure of the subject detected by the blood pressure sensor reveals a positive correlation of the systolic blood pressure with an eighth harmonic wave from the pulse wave. A device can detect a pulse wave in a non-invasive manner using a microwave and measures systolic blood pressure.

  • Patent number: 11041014
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lactoferrin fusion protein having high clinical utility and a production method therefor. The present invention further provides: a lactoferrin fusion protein that retains the biological activity of native lactoferrin while having a significantly extended in vivo life span, and that has more clinical utility than native lactoferrin and recombinant lactoferrin; and a production method therefor. With this fusion protein or a variant thereof, the ability of lactoferrin to bind iron is retained, and therefore at least the important biological activity of lactoferrin that is based on the iron-binding ability is retained. Additionally, this fusion protein or variant thereof has bioavailability and resistance to protease, and thus can exhibit biological activity in vivo over a long period. Furthermore, this fusion protein is not easily broken down by pepsin in the stomach.
