  • Patent number: 7867089
    Abstract: An expanding operating device has a first connector, a second connector and a sensor. The first connector has a first shape physically and electrically connectable with a connector provided with an operating device. Thus, by connecting the first connector to the connector of the operating device, the expanding operating device can be used with the operating device as a single unit, which eventually adds the sensor to the operating device. On the other hand, the second connector has a second shape connectable with a connector with the first shape. This allows a connector conventionally connected to the connector of another operating device to be also connected with the second connector. Accordingly, if the connector of another device is connected the second connector in a state that the first connector is connected to the connector of the operating device, the another device is eventually connected to the operating device via the expanding operating device.

  • Publication number: 20100305417
    Abstract: A biological information measurement device is constituted of an upper cover and a lower cover and a main body portion. Then, the upper cover and the lower cover are assembled such that they partially overlap with each other. A fingertip insertion portion is formed of a holding member, on which a substrate and a line of the main body portion are placed. By covering the whole main body by assembling the upper cover and the lower cover, the substrate and the line of the main body portion arranged on a side surface of the main body in the inside cannot externally be seen.
