  • Publication number: 20230395259
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus 100 includes an input unit 121 and a generation unit 122. The input unit 121 receives input of a first assessment value representing assessment of a subject at a predetermined point of time and input of a second assessment value representing assessment of the subject after a predetermined time elapsed from the predetermined point of time. The first and second assessment values are values for each of an item of the Stroke Impairment Assessment Set (SIAS) and an item of a second index, different from the SIAS, for assessing the condition of a human body. The generation unit 122 generates a model for calculating the second assessment value with respect to the first assessment value for each item of the SIAS and the second index, on the basis of information representing a relationship between the item of the SIAS and the item of the second index.

  • Publication number: 20230346318
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus inputs expiratory phase data being data of expiratory phase and inspiratory phase data being data of inspiratory phase, for each of abdominal waveform data indicating a breathing waveform of an abdomen of a subject performing breathing training and chest waveform data indicating a breathing waveform of a chest of the subject. The information processing apparatus calculates a phase difference between the abdominal waveform data and the chest waveform data in each of the expiratory phase and the inspiratory phase.

  • Patent number: 7334245
    Abstract: An optical disk drive is provided with an optical pickup and an optical sensor. The optical pickup is used for reading main information from an optical disk. The optical sensor is located in the range of R17 to R23 and used for reading sub information from the optical disk. The optical sensor is provided in relation to the center of a spindle motor used for rotating the optical disk and is located within 120° with respect to the radius that is 180° opposite to the radius along which the optical pickup is movable.

  • Patent number: 5021677
    Abstract: A light-scattering-type smoke detector is disclosed which comprises a base portion to be secured to a ceiling, a head part forming one of the parts of a detecting portion to be detachably mounted to the base portion through setscrews passed therethrough, and a dark box forming the other of the portions of the detecting part to be detachably connected to the head part by screwing the setscrews thereto, the dark box comprising a body portion and a cover portion put one upon another. The body portion has a printed circuit board integrally secured thereto on its upper surface and the dark box is surrounded by a labyrinth around its outer periphery that is internally provided with a light projection element and a light receiving element. The smoke detector allows the dismounting of the head part from the base portion, and the dark box from the head part so that maintenance and repair of the smoke detector can be carried out quite easily.
