  • Publication number: 20240036652
    Abstract: A sensory control method includes a step of receiving, a step of converting, and a step of outputting. In the step of receiving, a sensitivity parameter is received. In the step of converting, the received sensitivity parameter is converted into, among a plurality of physical parameters included in physical properties relating to a sensory presentation, a physical parameter correlated with the sensitivity parameter. In the step of outputting, a sensory presentation signal based on the physical parameter obtained as a result of the conversion is output.

  • Patent number: 10712320
    Abstract: A flow channel structure includes a substrate including a supply flow channel that guides a measurement target liquid toward inside; a separation element accommodating unit that accommodates a separation element that separates components included in the measurement target liquid; and a detection unit that guides the measurement target liquid passing through the separation element accommodating unit, wherein measuring light for measuring information about the components is to be irradiated onto the measurement target liquid. The detection unit includes a measurement flow channel part that guides the measurement target liquid, an incident part that is provided at an end of the measurement flow channel part and that guides the measuring light toward inside the measurement flow channel part, and an emission part that is provided at the other end of the measurement flow channel part and that derives the measuring light from the measurement flow channel part.

  • Publication number: 20180224409
    Abstract: A flow path structure incorporated into a measuring device that facilitates maintenance, includes a base, and a flow path switch member provided in a flow path switch member accommodation part and measures a liquid to be measured. The base includes a separation element accommodation part to accommodate a separation element that separates a plurality of components included in the liquid to be measured, and the flow path switch member accommodation part provided at an intermediate part of a flow path that guides the liquid to be measured. The flow path switch member measures the liquid to be measured, and switches a state of a flow path inside the base between a first flow path state in which the liquid to be measured is guided outside the separation element accommodation part, and a second flow path state in which the measured liquid is guided inside the separation element accommodation part.

  • Publication number: 20170216796
    Abstract: A fluid mixing device is provided with a plurality of flow channel units disposed to be divided in a plurality of layers. Each of the flow channel units has an inflow port, an outflow port, and a plurality of branch flow channels making the inflow port and the outflow port communicate with each other. The flow channel units located in different layers are connected to each other at the inflow port and the outflow port between the flow channel units, thereby configuring a three-dimensional flow channel as a whole. When the direction from the inflow port to the outflow path of each flow channel unit is set to be a flow direction in the flow channel unit, the flow directions intersect each other between the respective layers.

  • Publication number: 20160332898
    Abstract: In a flow channel plate, in which a first base material and a second base material are joined together so that a recessed portion formed in the first base material is used as a flow channel, an electrode having a recessed and projected shape that encourages a fluid flowing through the flow channel to become a turbulent flow is formed at least on part of a portion corresponding to the flow channel, the portion being part of the second base material, and the second base material is provided with an electrode extraction section that is brought into conduction with the electrode.
