  • Publication number: 20230012942
    Abstract: A health condition estimation apparatus 10 includes an obtaining unit 40 and a controller 42. The obtaining unit 40 obtains gas information. The gas information is based on a signal output by a sensor unit in a period in which a first gas is supplied to the sensor unit and a signal output by the sensor unit in a period in which a second gas is supplied to the sensor unit. The sensor unit outputs a signal with a signal value in accordance with the concentration of a specific gas. The first gas and the second gas are different in at least either of obtaining position and obtaining time. A controller 39 generates health information based on the gas information.

  • Publication number: 20220291116
    Abstract: A gas supply and discharge adapter has an opening through which a gas flows into and out of a gas sensor, an inflow port through which the gas flows into the opening, and an outflow port through which the gas flows out of the opening. The inflow port and the outflow port are positioned independently of each other. When the inflow port and the opening are viewed in plan through the gas supply and discharge adapter, the inflow port partially overlaps the opening.

  • Publication number: 20220221397
    Abstract: A gas detection system includes a sensor unit that outputs a signal corresponding to a concentration of a specific gas, a concentration unit having therein an adsorbent that adsorbs a gas to be detected, a supply unit capable of supplying a sample gas and a purge gas to the concentration unit, a heater capable of heating the adsorbent, and a control unit. The control unit controls the supply unit so that the sample gas passes through the concentration unit, and then controls the supply unit so that the purge gas passes through the concentration unit while controlling the heater so that a temperature of the adsorbent increases.

  • Publication number: 20220205974
    Abstract: A gas detection system includes a first sensor unit that outputs a voltage corresponding to a concentration of a specific gas, a storage tank capable of storing a sample gas or a purge gas to be supplied to the first sensor unit, and a control unit. The control unit detects a type and a concentration of a gas contained in the sample gas on the basis of a detection result of the first sensor unit. The control unit sets a collection period during which a gas in a predetermined space is collected into the storage tank as the sample gas or the purge gas and a supply period during which the sample gas or the purge gas is supplied to the first sensor unit such that the collection period and the supply period fall in different time slots.

  • Publication number: 20220196633
    Abstract: A gas detection system includes a sensor unit that outputs a voltage corresponding to a concentration of a specific gas, a first chamber capable of storing a supplied sample gas, a second chamber located between the first chamber and the sensor unit, and a flow path connectable to an inlet of the second chamber. The second chamber has a smaller area than the first chamber in a cross section perpendicular to a gas flow direction in the first chamber. The sample gas is supplied from the first chamber to the second chamber, and then a purge gas is supplied from the flow path to the second chamber to supply the sample gas to the sensor unit.

  • Publication number: 20220170873
    Abstract: A gas detection system includes a sensor unit that outputs a voltage corresponding to a concentration of a specific gas, a supply unit, and a control unit. The supply unit is capable of supplying a sample gas and a purge gas to the sensor unit. The control unit controls the supply unit to alternately supply the sample gas and the purge gas to the sensor unit. The control unit acquires a voltage waveform output by the sensor unit and detects a type and concentration of a gas contained in the sample gas, using a multiple regression analysis using characteristics of the voltage waveform as explanatory variables.

  • Patent number: 10999508
    Abstract: The present invention reduces magnetic fog noise of an actuator. An actuator is used jointly with a position detection element to locate a lens in a direction of a first axis. A coil is formed in a manner of setting a second axis perpendicular to the first axis as a length direction, and has a first side and a second side parallel to the second axis, and a third side and a fourth side parallel to the first axis. A permanent magnet produces magnetic fields perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis and being in opposite directions with respect to the first side and the second side, respectively. During use, the position detection element is configured near the third side. The coil is split into multiple parts in a width direction on at least the third side.
