Publication number: 20210015418Abstract: [Overview] [Problem to be Solved] To grasp a contact pressure on a first sensor with a surface of a living body and reduce its influence on the quality of a signal obtained by the first sensor. [Solution] There is provided an information processing system including: a sensor section including a first sensor that detects information for judging an emotion of a living body and a second sensor that detects a body motion pressure of a region of the living body corresponding to a detection region of the first sensor; and a correction processing section that corrects first sensor information obtained by the first sensor on the basis of second sensor information obtained by the second sensor. This makes it possible to grasp a contact pressure on the first sensor with a surface of the living body and reduce its influence on the quality of a signal obtained by the first sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2019Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventor: MASAYOSHI MORITA

Patent number: 4083549Abstract: An operating table provided with a vessel for receiving irrigating solution during transurethral resection. The chamber or vessel may be automatically moved lengthwise between a retracted or inoperative position under the operating table and an extended or receiving position where the chamber or vessel is extended forwardly of the operating table for receiving irrigating solution. That is, when an operator assumes an operating position the chamber or vessel may be automatically moved to the retracted position for permitting his operating freely, but when he assumes an irrigating discharging position the chamber or vessel can be automatically advanced in the extended position for receiving a discharged irrigating solution.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 1977Date of Patent: April 11, 1978Inventor: Masayoshi Morita
