Abstract: A belt and electrocardiographic measurement device, the belt including a belt body windable around an upper arm in a circumferential direction of the upper arm, and an electrode array including a plurality of electrodes fixed to an inner surface of the belt body and arranged side by side in a direction, which is a longitudinal direction of the belt body, the plurality of electrodes being more than N+2 in number, where N is a number of electrodes required for obtaining electrocardiographic information, the electrodes, counted from a first electrode located at a first end in the direction (X) by counting including the first electrode, to the (N+1)th electrode in the direction (X) being arranged at equal intervals that are predetermined intervals, and intervals between each of the (N+1)th and subsequent electrodes being greater than the predetermined interval.

Abstract: A biological information measurement device adapted to be attached on an upper arm of a human body and used thereon includes a belt portion adapted to be wound around the upper arm, electrocardiographic measurement means including a plurality of electrodes for detecting an electrocardiographic signal of the human body, pulse wave measurement means including a pulse wave sensor for detecting a pulse wave of the human body, heartbeat vibration measurement means including a vibration sensor for detecting vibration caused by beating of a heart of the human body, and an analysis processing unit configured to calculate a pre-ejection time and a pulse transit time of the heart based on time series data of the electrocardiographic signal, time series data of the pulse wave, and time series data of the vibration caused by the beating of the heart.

Abstract: A liquid transfer method includes the steps of conveying a sheet by holding the sheet by a transport cylinder, and transferring a liquid to one surface of the sheet by a transfer cylinder opposing the transport cylinder and transferring the liquid to the other surface of the sheet by the transport cylinder. The step of transferring includes the step of positioning an edge of a region on one surface of the sheet, downstream in a sheet convey direction, where the liquid is to be transferred, upstream in the sheet convey direction of an edge of a region on the other surface of the sheet, downstream in the sheet convey direction, where the liquid is to be transferred. A liquid transfer apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: A liquid transfer apparatus includes a supply cylinder and viscosity reducing agent supply unit. The supply cylinder comes into contact with a transfer target body and performs transfer by transferring a transfer liquid to the transfer target body. The viscosity reducing agent supply unit supplies a viscosity reducing agent which reduces a viscosity of the transfer liquid to the supply cylinder during transfer.

Abstract: A sheet delivery apparatus includes sprockets and delivery grippers, a sheet delivery device, a switching cam, and conveyor belt, driving roller, and driven roller. The sprockets and delivery grippers hold and convey a sheet. The sheet delivery device delivers the sheet conveyed by the sprockets and delivery grippers. The switching cam is arranged upstream of the sheet delivery device in a sheet convey direction to release the sheet held by the sprockets and delivery grippers. The conveyor belt, driving roller, and driven roller are arranged below the switching cam to convey the sheet released by the switching cam in the sheet convey direction.

Abstract: A delivery device in a sheet-fed offset rotary printing press includes a plurality of suction units, at least one discharge unit, at least one support member, and an intake source, air exhaust system, and switching device. The plurality of suction units are arranged above a pile board on an upstream sheet convey direction side below a sheet under conveyance in a widthwise direction of the sheet, and draw by suction the sheet under conveyance in slidable contact with it. At least one discharge unit replaces one of the plurality of suction units which is other than those on two ends, and discharges air outwardly in the widthwise direction of the sheet under conveyance. One of the plurality of suction units which is other than those on the two ends and the discharge unit can be mounted selectively on at least one support member.
