  • Patent number: 11805969
    Abstract: A biological information measuring apparatus includes a cover member and a hardware processor. The cover member is provided with sensors for detecting biological signals to cover a position of a biological part of a subject. The hardware processor is configured to estimate a positional relation of the position of the biological part of the subject with respect to the cover member at a first time point. The hardware processor superimposes first point cloud and second point cloud. The first point cloud is acquired by a non-contact mechanism front the subject at the first time point and represents a surface of the biological part of the subject in a coordinate system of the sensors. The second point cloud is created based on a morphological image of the subject captured by a biological structure acquiring apparatus and represents the surface of the biological part of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20210108547
    Abstract: A reactor is located in a gas gathering chamber through which exhaust gas in an exhaust system flows curvedly. An addition agent is sprayed against the reactor from upstream of the chamber to facilitate gasification through heat receiving. Rectification vanes are arrayed in a direction bisecting an angle formed by inflow and outflow directions of the exhaust gas and a support for supporting opposite ends of each of the vanes. Opposite ends of the vanes are inserted into slots on slanting sides of opposite side walls in the support to provide installed state. The vanes in the installed state are adapted to provide mounted postures along the flow of the exhaust gas.
