  • Patent number: 8175669
    Abstract: In an apparatus for measuring an oxygen saturation in blood, a plurality of light emitters irradiate a living tissue with a plurality of light beams having different wavelengths. A light receiver receives the light beams reflected from or transmitted through the living tissue to generate pulse wave signals in accordance with pulsations of the blood in the living tissue. A separator separates each of the pulse wave signals into a plurality of amplitude signals each of which is associated with one frequency, thereby generating pairs of amplitude signals each of which is associated with one of a plurality of frequencies. A first processor calculates a ratio between the amplitude signals in each of the pairs of the amplitude signals. A selector selects one of the pairs of the amplitude signals. A second processor calculates the oxygen saturation from the ratio of the selected pair of the amplitude signals.

  • Publication number: 20120078559
    Abstract: In the fast steady state field analysis method, the following processes are executed in a computer. First, the physical quantity of the analysis object is calculated through transient analysis based on an analysis execution module in which a differential equation including the time-derivative term is made discrete. A time-averaged value of the calculated physical quantities of the analysis object that are present in a set time width is calculated. The physical quantity of the analysis object calculated in step 21 for each time step is corrected by using a time harmonic order correction equation for time averaging with the calculated time-averaged value taken into consideration. After the physical quantity became in the steady state, the physical quantity of the analysis object in the steady state is calculated through transient analysis in which a differential equation is used. The calculated physical quantity of the analysis object in the steady state is displayed.
