  • Patent number: 10561366
    Abstract: A measuring system includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a first measurement value calculator that, based on a change of an amount of received light that is measured by the first sensor, calculates a first measurement value indicating an index related to a blood oxygen saturation or a blood refill time, a second measurement value calculator that, based on a change of an amount of received light that is measured by the second sensor, calculates a second measurement value indicating an index related to a blood oxygen saturation or a blood refill time, and a pressure controller that controls the first sensor and the second sensor so that a time difference between a start of compression release by the first sensor and a start of compression release by the second sensor is within a predetermined time period.

  • Patent number: 10151691
    Abstract: To provide a gas sensor kit and a gas measurement system in which a problem in arrangement of a signal processor and an atmospheric pressure sensor at the time of measuring a gas is solved. A gas sensor kit includes a sensor and a connector. The connector includes an atmospheric pressure sensor measuring an atmospheric pressure and a signal processor. The signal processor receives a measurement signal indicating a transmitted light quantity of a target gas from the sensor and obtains a measurement value of a concentration or a partial pressure of the target gas based on the measurement signal. The signal processor corrects the measurement value of the concentration or the partial pressure of the target gas by using an atmospheric pressure value measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor.

  • Publication number: 20170014075
    Abstract: A support tool is mounted on a finger of a subject on whom a sensor is mounted to support acquisition of biological information. A first support is disposed on a nail side of the subject's finger. A second support is disposed on a ventral side of the subject's finger. The relative position of the second support with respect to the first support does not change. A bag is formed with a material softer than the first support and second support, and is disposed along an inner peripheral face of the first support. A ventilation tube forms a ventilation channel communicating with an inside of the bag. The sensor includes a light emission part and a light reception part. The light emission part is disposed between the subject's finger and the bag. The light reception part is disposed between the subject's finger and the second support.

  • Patent number: 9125605
    Abstract: The calculation amount of the whole can be reduced. A biological signal measuring apparatus includes a biological signal measuring unit which measures a biological signal; and a calculation processing unit which performs calculation processes on the measured biological signal, wherein the calculation processing unit has: a first calculation processing unit which performs calculation processes required for calculating the biological signal, and which is independently controllable; and a second calculation processing unit which performs a specific calculation process, and which is independently controllable, and, when the first calculation processing unit satisfies given conditions, the second calculation processing unit is caused to perform the specific calculation process.

  • Publication number: 20080243012
    Abstract: In an electrocardiogram telemeter, a data acquirer is operable to acquire electrocardiogram data. A data compressor is operable to compress the electrocardiogram data with either a wavelet transform, a Huffman coding, or an arithmetic coding, thereby generating compressed electrocardiogram data adapted to be transmitted to a remote receiver which is configured to reconstruct the electrocardiogram data.
