Publication number: 20190313921Abstract: A measurement device includes a pulse wave signal acquisition unit, a pulse wave velocity calculator, a transfer function calculator, a phase diagram classifier, and an aneurysm determinator. The pulse wave signal acquisition unit acquires time-series pulse wave signals of each of an upper arm and an ankle of the subject. The pulse wave velocity calculator obtains a brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity based on the pulse wave signal of the upper arm and the pulse wave signal of the ankle. The transfer function calculator calculates a transfer function from the pulse wave signal of the upper arm and the pulse wave signal of the ankle. The phase diagram classifier classifies the phase diagram of each subject into any one of four groups. The aneurysm determinator determines presence or absence of the abdominal aortic aneurysm by a criterion set according to each group.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2019Publication date: October 17, 2019Applicants: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd., A SCHOOL CORPORATION KANSAI UNIVERSITY, PUBLIC UNIVERSITY CORPORATION NARA MEDICAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Miki IMAMURA, Yukiya SAWANOI, Toshihiko OGURA, Hideo UTSUNO, Kimihiko KICHIKAWA, Shigeo ICHIHASHI, Shinichi IWAKOSHI

Patent number: 9668658Abstract: A first calculation unit receives phase characteristics Pa(f) and Pb(f) outputted from frequency transform units, calculates a propagation time difference based on a phase difference between the two phase characteristics in a high-frequency component thereof, and calculates a pulse wave velocity by dividing a difference in the distances of vascular pathways from the heart to respective measurement areas. Meanwhile, a second calculation unit calculates a pulse wave velocity by dividing the stated difference in the distances by a appearance time difference at a predetermined position in respective pulse waveforms obtained by rendering the measurement signals Pa(t) and Pb(t) on a time axis. A comparison unit compares the pulse wave velocities, and in the case where the ratio thereof is outside a predetermined range, an evaluation result indicating that it is possible that a predetermined pathologic change is present in the vascular pathway is outputted to a display processing unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2012Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Hironori Sato, Naoki Mori, Tomoko Hashimoto, Toshihiko Ogura, Shozo Takamatsu, Hideo Utsuno, Kimihiko Kichikawa, Hirofumi Ito

Patent number: 8628476Abstract: A phase line tilt calculating unit (actual measurement) receives phase characteristics Pa(f) and Pb(f) outputted from frequency conversion units, and calculates phase difference characteristics of actual measurement based on a phase difference on each frequency component between the phase characteristics. A phase line tilt calculating unit (model) calculates phase difference characteristics between a transfer function Ga(f) and a transfer function Gb(f) calculated by a transfer function calculating unit, and outputs the calculated phase difference characteristics to a search unit. The search unit fits a variable k and determines a variable kopt (optimum solution) in which a tilt g(k) and a tilt gexp substantially match each other. The variable kopt is an index indicating a degree of arterial sclerosis of a subject.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideo Utsuno, Shinya Umeda, Hiroshi Matsuhisa, Hironori Sato, Toshihiko Ogura

Patent number: 7451843Abstract: Engine noise of a construction machine is effectively reduced without reducing cooling performance and with an increase in the height of a body cover kept minimum. To achieve the above, an air-intake opening portion (10) and an air discharge opening portion (11) are arranged in a body cover (8) of an upper rotating body (1), and a cooling fan (5) in an engine room covered by the body cover (8) is driven, taking cooling air in from the air-intake opening portion (10) to cool a heat exchanger (7) in the body cover (8) and discharging the air from the air discharge opening portion (11). The air-intake opening portion (10) is laterally offset from a position facing to a ventilation surface of the heat exchanger (7). Alternatively, plural air-intake opening portions are located in a scattered manner such that the plural air-intake opening portions include the offset air-intake opening portion offset from the ventilation surface of the heat exchanger (7).Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2004Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hajime Nakashima, Kazuhiro Ueda, Yasumasa Kimura, Hideo Utsuno, Toshiyuki Kobayashi
