Patent number: 9398884Abstract: A biological information monitoring apparatus operable to measure biological information of a patient by detecting a biological signal of the patient, and operable to output an alarm, includes an alarm controller which changes the alarm. The alarm includes a first alarm of a first priority and a second alarm of a second priority. When a first condition is satisfied, the first alarm is output. When a second condition is satisfied after the first alarm is output, the alarm controller changes from the first alarm to the second alarm to be output.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2010Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: NIHON KOHDEN CORPORATIONInventors: Masami Tanishima, Masahiro Echigo, Rie Oyagi, Shinji Tezuka, Yoshinori Enomoto

Publication number: 20140296950Abstract: A thermoregulation device which is adapted to be used for covering part of a living body, includes: a first sheet which is higher in thermal conductivity than cotton cloth; a second sheet which is higher in heat insulating and retaining properties than cotton cloth; and a gas passage which is formed between the first sheet and the second sheet. A first opening which communicates with the gas passage is formed in one of the first sheet and the second sheet. A second opening which communicates with the gas passage is formed in one of the first sheet and the second sheet. A gas which is introduced through the first opening is discharged from the second opening via the gas passage.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Applicant: Nihon Kohden CorporationInventors: Mitsushi HYOGO, Ichiro SHIMADA, Eiichi TANAKA, Yoshihiro TAKAYANAGI, Masahiro ECHIGO, Yuichiro OMOTE, Kenji YOKOYA
