  • Patent number: 11278258
    Abstract: There is provided a biological sound measuring device that, in a contact state of being in contact with a body surface of a living body, measures a biological sound of the living body, the biological sound measuring device including: a first sound measuring instrument that is configured to measure the biological sound; a second sound measuring instrument that is configured to measure an ambient sound of the biological sound measuring device; and a controller that determines measurement accuracy of the biological sound in the first sound measuring instrument based on a difference in intensity at a predetermined specified frequency between a first sound measured by the first sound measuring instrument and a second sound measured by the second sound measuring instrument, and that performs notification when the measurement accuracy is less than a predetermined value.

  • Publication number: 20210196226
    Abstract: There is provided a wheeze detection apparatus including: a sound measurer configured to measure a pulmonary sound of a measurement subject; a respiratory sound volume deriver configured to derive a respiratory sound volume of the measurement subject based on the sound measured by the sound measurer; and a wheeze detector configured to extract a maximum point from an intensity distribution for each frequency of the sound and to detect wheeze based on information on the maximum point. The wheeze detector sets, in a case where the respiratory sound volume is outside a predetermined range, detection sensitivity of the wheeze to a higher value than the detection sensitivity in a case where the respiratory sound volume is within the range.

  • Publication number: 20210077056
    Abstract: There is provided a wheezing detection device, including: a wheezing determiner that performs processing of determining whether wheezing is included in the pulmonary sound of the subject, based on the signal of the pulmonary sound that is measured by a sound measurer after an instruction for starting wheezing detection processing is issued; and a controller that ends measurement of the signal of the pulmonary sound performed by the sound measurer and reports a result of the processing, in a case where an elapsed time period from a measurement start time point of the signal, which is firstly measured by the sound measurer after the instruction is issued, reaches a predetermined time period set in advance, or in a case where it is determined by the wheezing determiner that wheezing is included in the pulmonary sound of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20210015445
    Abstract: There is provided a biological sound measuring device, including: a main body including: a first sound measuring instrument, a housing that has an opening, a second sound measuring instrument, and a controller that causes a sound generator to generate a sound in a state where the opening in the housing is not closed, that determines whether or not a relationship between a measurement sensitivity of the first sound measuring instrument and a measurement sensitivity of the second sound measuring instrument satisfies a condition set in advance, and that when it is determined that the relationship does not satisfy the condition, notifies that it is unable to ensure measurement accuracy of biological sound or adjusts the measurement sensitivity of one or both of the first sound measuring instrument and the second sound measuring instrument.

  • Publication number: 20210015444
    Abstract: There is provided a biological sound measuring device that has a member which defines a space to be sealed by a body surface of a living body in a state of being pressed against the body surface, and that measures a biological sound of the living body based on pressure fluctuation in the space. The device includes: a sound generator that generates a sound toward the body surface; a sound measurer that measures a reflected sound of the sound generated by the sound generator; and a controller that determines whether or not a contact state or a contact position of the member with respect to the body surface satisfies a condition necessary for measurement of the biological sound, based on the reflected sound measured by the sound measurer, and that performs notification when it is determined that the condition is not satisfied.

  • Patent number: 9506906
    Abstract: A urine component analysis device with a correlation storage section stores data indicating a correlation between a measured concentration of a specific component in human urine and measured concentration of the specific urine component in one day. A data input section inputs data indicating concentration of the specific component in one subject's urine. A concentration of the specific component in total urine of the subject in one day is determined by conversion using the correlation storage section based on the concentration of the specific component in the urine. A total urine amount acquirement section acquires total amount of urine excreted by the subject in one day based on conversion or database. An excretion amount of the specific component in total urine of the subject in one day is calculated by multiplying the concentration of the specific component in total urine in one day, by the acquired total urine amount.

  • Patent number: 9506910
    Abstract: In a urine component analysis device, a correlation storage section stores data indicating a correlation between a measured concentration in one urine and in total urine in one day for each of a first and second specific component in the urine excreted by a human. A data input section inputs data indicating a concentration of the first specific component and of the second specific component in one urine of a subject. A concentration of the first specific component and of the second specific component in total urine in one day are determined by performing conversion using the correlation stored in the correlation storage section based on the concentration of the first specific component and the second specific component in the one urine. A concentration ratio between the first specific component and the second specific component in total urine in one day is determined based on the results of conversion.

  • Patent number: 5459764
    Abstract: A clock synchronization system is constituted by first and second clock generating sections. The first and second clock generating units are alternately set in current and spare use modes. The apparatus clock from one clock generating section in the current use mode is supplied to an external circuit. In each clock generating section, a state signal generating section receives a first state signal representing one of the modes, and outputs a second state signal representing a set mode opposite to the mode represented by the first state signal to the other clock generating section. A clock generating section generates a clock synchronized with the network sync signal.
