    Abstract: An air conditioning seat device includes an air blower, and a dehumidifier for dehumidifying the air sent from the air blower owing to adsorption, and blows out the dehumidified air to holes provided on a skin of a seat through an air duct. In this makeup, the sweat on the body surface and in the clothes is rapidly vaporized, causing a large amount of vaporization heat loss. Accordingly, the human body feels coolness, and steaminess on the skin is suppressed owing to the sweat vaporization.

  • Patent number: 6335642
    Abstract: A impedance-to-voltage converter for converting an impedance of a target to a voltage is described which comprises an operational amplifier (OP), a coaxial cable consisting a signal line and shielding element(s), and an AC signal generator. A feedback impedance circuit is connected between output and inverting terminals of the OP, and whereby a non-inverting terminal and the inverting terminal are an imaginal-short condition. One end of the signal line is connected to the inverting input terminal of the OP and the other end is connected to one electrode of the target and the AC signal generator is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the OP. The shielding element comprises at least one shielding layer surrounding the signal line and is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the OP, and thus the signal line and the shielding layer are the same voltage due to the imaginal-short of the input terminals of the OP, resulting in reduction of noise on the signal line.

  • Patent number: 6331780
    Abstract: A static capacitance-to-voltage converter is capable of converting a static capacitance into a voltage without suffering from a stray capacitance formed between a signal and a shielding line or a stray capacitance formed between an exposed portion of the signal line and its surroundings. The static capacitance-to-voltage converter is formed of an operational amplifier placed in an imaginary short-circuit state between an inverting input and a non-inverting input thereof; a signal line having one end connected to the inverting input and the other end capable of being connected to a static capacitance; a shielding line surrounding the signal line and connected to the non-inverting input; an alternating current signal generator for applying the non-inverting input with an alternating current signal; and zero adjusters for adjusting the output of the static capacitance-to-voltage converter to minimum when no static capacitance is connected to the signal line.
