Abstract: A blood rheology measurement device measures a blood rheology of blood flowing through an artery inside of a living body from outside of the living body. The blood rheology measurement device has a sensor that detects a flow rate of blood flowing through the artery and a pulsatile displacement that varies with an elapse of time. The pulsatile displacement corresponds to a displacement of the artery in a diameter direction thereof due to expansion and contraction of the artery resulting from a pulsatile motion of the heart. A calculating section calculates the blood rheology of blood flowing through the artery on the basis of the blood flow rate and the pulsatile displacement detected by the sensor.

At least one structure where no oxide film is formed is provided near the vibrating parts 102 and 103. By employing a structure in which both ends of the structure and both ends of the vibrating parts 102 and 103 are integrally formed, a compressive stress is applied to the vibrating parts 102 and 103. As a result, the frequency temperature characteristics can be improved.

Abstract: There is disclosed a blood viscosity measurement device which measures a flow rate of blood and a thickness of a blood vessel to determine a viscosity of the blood. The device substitutes the flow rate of the blood, the thickness of the blood vessel, and a blood pressure into a predetermined calculation formula to calculate the viscosity of the blood. The flow rate of the blood is obtained from a change amount of frequency of a continuous ultrasonic wave transmitted to a blood flow and reflected by the blood flow. As to the thickness of the blood vessel, an inner diameter of the blood vessel is obtained from a pulse ultrasonic wave transmitted to the blood vessel and reflected by an inner wall of the blood vessel. On the other hand, a value measured with a general blood pressure gauge is utilized in the blood pressure.

Abstract: In order to make it possible to predict a dissociation constant at an initial stage of reaction, a concentration sensor for a sample is provided on a downstream side of a mass sensor. This makes it possible to learn concentration of a sample solution at the time when a mass is detected by the mass sensor. When the concentration and the mass are substituted in a predetermined logical expression, it is possible to obtain a predicted value of a dissociation constant. The concentration sensor is a capacitor constituted by electrodes opposed to each other. Since a dielectric constant changes when analytes are present between the electrodes, it is possible to detect analyte concentration according to the dielectric constant. Since it is possible to reduce a size of the capacitor, it is possible to keep a size of a micro-reactor small. Note that the mass sensor outputs a resonance frequency of a quartz resonator. A measuring apparatus can calculate a mass from transition of this frequency.

Abstract: An ultrasonic touch panel is offered which can detect whether there is a touch, at an improved accuracy without the need to adjust the detection sensitivities of individual piezoelectric bodies separately. The piezoelectric bodies have comb-like electrodes that excite ultrasonic waves. A sealant is applied to those of the side surfaces of the piezoelectric bodies which intersect with the direction of propagation of the excited ultrasonic waves. This suppresses reflection of the ultrasonic waves, thus attenuating ultrasonic waves propagating to the intersecting side surfaces. Generation of parasitic waves which would normally be caused by reflection of ultrasonic waves is prevented.
