  • Patent number: 7678047
    Abstract: In an apparatus for diagnosing a brain function of a subject 20 by giving a load to a functional site of a living organism of the subject 20, receiving reactions emitted from the living organism of the subject 20 as an electric signal 40, 50, 60 or 70 and analyzing the electric signal 40, 50, 60 or 70, the electric signals 40, 50, 60 and 70 are a voice signal 40, an nystagmus signal 50, a pulse wave signal 60 and a gravity center swinging signal 70. The apparatus selects at least two from among them, calculates chaos theoretical indexes such as Lyapunov exponents according to a chaos theoretical technique, detects changes in the chaos theoretical indexes with passage of time, and collectively evaluates and diagnoses the brain function.

  • Patent number: 7640014
    Abstract: When emergency communication etc. is sent, it aims at preferentially dealing with the emergency communication etc. by a simple and effective method. It is a communication system in which a base station 100 and a mobile station 200a establish communication for emergency situation, in time of emergency, wherein the mobile station 200a switches an output adjustment from the normal mode to the emergency mode and sends the communication for emergency situation at the largest output possible. The base station 100 receives a strong radio wave from the mobile station 200a which sent the communication for emergency situation. The base station 100 continues to output suppression signals for suppressing signal intensity to the other mobile stations. The other mobile stations are suppressed by the near-far effect, and it becomes impossible for the base station 100 to receive communication except for the communication for emergency situation.

  • Patent number: 7392178
    Abstract: The present invention is a preprocessing apparatus including a voice input apparatus for acquiring an uttered voice, an analog-digital conversion apparatus for converting the acquired uttered voice to digital voice data, and a comparator for selecting voice data, having a level which is equal to or higher than a certain level, from the digital voice data and for outputting the selected voice data. The preprocessing apparatus also includes a voice data cutout apparatus capable of cutting out voice data having a level which is equal to or higher than a certain level output from the comparator, while taking a phoneme as a unit, and a voice data output apparatus for outputting voice data of the phoneme unit output from the voice data cutout apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7363226
    Abstract: A psychosomatic diagnosis system in which evaluation of the psychosomatic condition of a person to be diagnosed is performed automatically and objectively, based on the response by voice with respect to a question and the like asked to the person to be diagnosed. The system includes an index database, a speech processing section for obtaining voice as a speech signal, an analog to digital conversion section for converting the speech signal into a digital speech signal, a data processing section for calculating a human strange attractor by using the chaos theory and storing the human strange attractor in the index database, an attractor evaluation section for performing a quantitative evaluation by using the calculated human strange attractor, and a display section for displaying the evaluation result.

  • Publication number: 20050102145
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a psychosomatic diagnosis system in which evaluation of the psychosomatic condition of a person to be diagnosed is performed automatically and objectively, based on the response by voice with respect to a question and the like asked to the person to be diagnosed. This is a psychosomatic diagnosis system for diagnosing the psychosomatic condition by the voice responded to the question and the like, comprising an index database, a speech processing section for obtaining voice as a speech signal, an analog to digital conversion section for converting the speech signal into a digital speech signal, a data processing section for calculating a human strange attractor by using the chaos theory and storing the human strange attractor in the index database, an attractor evaluation section for performing a quantitative evaluation by using the calculated human strange attractor, and a display section for displaying the evaluation result.

  • Publication number: 20040107105
    Abstract: A device for chaological evaluation of human factor comprises a Lyapunov index calculator 23 for calculating a Lyapunov index by analyzing a digitized sound signal, which is changed into a digital data from a sound uttered by a person, by using a chaological method; a Lyapunov index change detector 24 for detecting a change in the Lyapunov index of the uttered sound, which is calculated by using the Lyapunov index calculator 23. A psychosomatic activity is predicted and determined by measuring a level of the load generated in the cerebrum on the basis of the change in the Lyapunov index detected by the Lyapunov index change detector 24.
