  • Publication number: 20170280110
    Abstract: A feature extracting unit obtains sensor data from a plurality of sensors to calculate each feature. When an event determining unit determines the occurrence of an event based on each feature, a display data constructor generates remote-controller display data for displaying the event, and controls a remote-controller display device to display the remote-controller display data. When a user decision is input from a user input IF based on this display, a control unit controls the sensors to be turned ON or OFF. When an infrared sensor detects an abnormality, a microwave sensor whose power consumption is small after the infrared sensor is turned ON. When the microwave sensor detects an abnormality, a video camera and a microphone are turned ON, and the microwave sensor is turned OFF. A communication unit wirelessly transmits an image signal captured by the video camera and an audio signal processed by the microphone.

  • Publication number: 20170154762
    Abstract: In a microparticle composition analyzing apparatus, when a depressurized chamber is opened to atmospheric pressure in order to replace a trap, a certain amount of time is needed to vacuum out the entire depressurized chamber again and return the depressurized chamber to the reduced pressure state, and this causes an increase in the dead time of the measurement. Provided is a trap replacement mechanism including a rod that supports a trap for trapping microparticles and a connection portion that includes at least a portion of an auxiliary space connected to a depressurized space in which the trap is provided. The trap can be withdrawn from the depressurized space to the auxiliary space side and opened to atmospheric pressure while the depressurized space is kept in a depressurized state, by moving the rod.

  • Publication number: 20170069476
    Abstract: Despite the desire to measure the composition and concentration of the microparticles included in a gaseous body sample serving as the measurement target, there is a problem that measurement cannot be performed accurately due to the effect of substances other than the gaseous body sample adsorbing to a trapping body of the analyzing apparatus that traps the microparticles, for example. Therefore, provided is a microparticle composition analyzing apparatus that analyzes composition of microparticles contained in a gaseous body sample, comprising a gas analyzer and a control section that sequentially introduces into the gas analyzer a comparative gas and a sample gas caused by the microparticles generated by irradiating the gaseous body sample with a laser.
