  • Publication number: 20200113490
    Abstract: A measurement unit is attached to a measurement target person and measures an acceleration. A body motion calculation unit obtains the magnitude of a body motion of the measurement target person based on the acceleration measured by the measurement unit. An activity state determination unit time-serially obtains an activity state representing whether the measurement target person is in a first state or a second state, based on a posture decided by a posture decision unit and the magnitude of the body motion calculated by the body motion calculation unit. If the activity state after continues for a predetermined time defined in advance, an activity state correction unit determines that the transition of the activity state obtained by the activity state determination unit has been done. A time correction unit returns the transition time of the activity state determined by the activity state correction unit.

  • Patent number: 6961169
    Abstract: A light-controlled light modulator can achieve high-speed, low-loss wavelength conversion. Continuous light with a wavelength ?j is launched into an MMI coupler via a port, and is split into two parts by the MMI coupler, which are led to a loop-type interferometer. In the loop-type interferometer, the two parts travel separately around the loop as clockwise traveling light and counterclockwise traveling light, are combined by the MMI coupler again via a filter-equipped phase modulator, thereby being emitted to the port. In this state, signal light ?i(s) with a wavelength ?i is launched into the filter-equipped phase modulator via a port. Even when the wavelength ?i of the signal light ?i(s) is equal to the wavelength ?j of the wavelength converted output light, the wavelength conversion can be achieved with preventing noise from being mixed into the output light emitted from a port.
