  • Publication number: 20210393927
    Abstract: A guide wire is disclosed for guiding a tubular elongated body to be inserted into a living body can include: an elongated shaft portion that has flexibility; a puncture portion that is disposed at a distal end portion of the shaft portion and forms a hole in a biological tissue; and a cover portion that is formed of a wire member wound in a spiral shape, has a contraction portion that is contractible, and covers the puncture portion. The contraction portion is capable of causing the puncture portion to protrude from the cover portion by contracting the contraction portion in a linear state. When the contraction portion is in a curved state, the contraction portion is restricted in contraction so that the puncture portion does not protrude from the cover portion by contact of adjacent wire members on a concave side.

  • Patent number: 7973268
    Abstract: An induction heating cooking device has an inverter including a resonant circuit, and a heating output control part. The resonant circuit has a resonant capacitor and a heating coil that is magnetically coupled to a load. The inverter has first and second switching elements. The heating output control part performs control by inverting the rate values of the driving periods of the first and second switching elements. The driving of the inverter is thus controlled so that substantially the same heating output is obtained to average the losses of the first and second switching elements.

  • Publication number: 20020095092
    Abstract: A maximum blood pressure and a minimum blood pressure are first measured using an oscillometric method. Pulse waves of a vessel occurring during the measurement are measured by a reflection-type photoelectric sensor. The maximum and minimum blood pressures and the pulse waves occurring at the times of maximum and minimum blood pressures are associated with each other. After that, the blood pressure is calculated from the associated values and the pulse waves of the vessel serially detected by the reflection-type photoelectric sensor.

  • Patent number: 6356775
    Abstract: A biological data observation system makes it possible to accurately observing the anesthetic depth of a patient. The system measures a signal based on the pulse wave of the patient, and measures the sweat rate. During a surgery, these data and/or their composite data is monitored. The system displays transition of the sweat rate. Therefore, if during the surgery the patient's condition changes, an operating doctor (operator) will immediately notice a change in the sweat rate displayed by the system, so that the doctor or the like can promptly take an appropriate measure for the change in the patient's condition. By observing the transition of the patient's blood pressure displayed by the system, the doctor can also understand how the patient's condition changes as a result of the doctor's measure.
