  • Patent number: 11187667
    Abstract: The present invention includes a body case having a biological sample sensor mounting portion on one end side, a temperature sensor (A) provided on the one end side inside the body case, a measurement portion connected to the biological sample sensor mounting portion, and a control portion connected to the measurement portion. A temperature sensor (B) is provided on one other end side inside the body case, and when measurement is performed by the measurement portion, temperature change amounts in the two end portions are compared using the temperature sensors (A) and (B). Furthermore, a measurement value obtained by the measurement portion is corrected using temperature information from either one of the temperature sensors (A) or (B) that is provided in the end portion on the side where the temperature change is smaller.

  • Patent number: 8532318
    Abstract: With the hearing aid device of the present invention, when the power is turned on, communication starts between the first and second hearing aids, and until this communication is established, it is recognized that the power has not been switched on to the second hearing aid, and the user is notified. Also, if the battery of the second hearing aid should die during use, a dead battery notification is sent to the first hearing aid, and if communication between the first and second hearing aids is blocked, the user is notified on the side of the first hearing aid that is operating.

  • Patent number: 7567615
    Abstract: The present invention provides an adaptive equalization circuit and adaptive equalization method that can perform signal processing on a small scale with good computation accuracy, and can improve the reproducing signal quality and improve the playability of abnormal signals. According to the present invention, an equalization target value (true target value) in the sampling frequency area is determined by the equalization target value generation means (104) from the signals in the resampling frequency area after phase synchronization is performed, and the tap factors of the pre-digital equalization means (102) can be adaptively computed from this equalization target value and the input/output signals of the pre-digital equalization means (102).

  • Patent number: 7161127
    Abstract: An automatic focusing apparatus includes a photographing unit for photographing a transmitted light generated by applying a light to an observation target from a light source and an index value operation unit for operating to obtain an index value indicating focus information for the observation target from the image data outputted from the photographing unit. The automatic focusing apparatus also includes a focus controller for controlling a focus of the photographing unit so as to obtain an optimal focus position for the observation target on the basis of the index value, and uses a threshold value obtained from a background color of the image data to discriminate between the observation target and dust, thereby enabling proper automatic focusing on the target to observed even from the image data having the observation target and dust mixed.
