  • Patent number: 11837105
    Abstract: The number n of times of chewing is counted by chewing number of times calculation means (13b2) based on a change in the distance l from a photoreflector (50), which is received together with time t by measurement value receiving means (13b1). To vary hardness h of a bag (30) to a stage that can be sensed, according to the number n of times of chewing, a required air pressure is set according to the current number n of times, based on a hardness/air pressure correspondence recording unit (13g) in which stages that have a significant difference therebetween and are stored in association with the number n of times of chewing are recorded. To realize the set air pressure inside the bag (30), the amount of sucking performed using a vacuum pump 20 is controlled by air pressure control means (13b4).

  • Publication number: 20220125328
    Abstract: A time feature value calculation apparatus according to an embodiment includes an interpolation unit (182) and a time feature value calculation unit (183). In accordance with a variability tendency of a biological signal exhibited in time-series data of the biological signal resulting from an abnormality value process performed to eliminate an abnormality value from the biological signal in response to an input of the biological signal having periodicity, the interpolation unit interpolates a missing value in the biological signal in the time-series data of the biological signal resulting from the abnormality value process. The time feature value calculation unit calculates a time feature value focusing on the variability tendency of the biological signal measured over an arbitrary time period, from the interpolated time-series data of the biological signal.
