Publication number: 20120071768Abstract: A blood pressure information measurement device includes light emitting elements and light receiving elements as a plurality of pairs of first and second sensors in a cuff. While the cuff pressure is increased, combinations of the plurality of pairs of the light emitting elements and the light receiving elements are switched, and volume pulse waves are obtained from each of the combinations. After increasing the cuff pressure, for each of the volume pulse waves corresponding to the combinations, a specific volume value at a point where the amount of volume change becomes maximal is extracted. Thereafter, based on values corresponding to the maximum and minimum blood pressure and the specific volume value, the sensors for measurement are determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2011Publication date: March 22, 2012Applicant: OMRON HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenichi Yamakoshi, Masamichi Nogawa, Shinobu Tanaka, Takehiro Yamakoshi, Yukiya Sawanoi, Kenji Fujii, Naomi Matsumura, Reiji Fujita

Patent number: 6443641Abstract: Just after resist solution is coated on a substrate, it is dried substantially in a non-heating state. In reality, inertia gas or the like is blown from a shower head to the substrate. Thus, the resist solution coated on the substrate is dried. Consequently, transfer marks that cause the film thickness of resist film to be unequal and the line width of a circuit pattern to fluctuate can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2001Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignee: Tokyo Electron LimitedInventors: Hideyuki Takamori, Kiyohisa Tateyama, Kengo Mizosaki, Noriyuki Anai, Mitsuhiro Sakai, Shinobu Tanaka, Yoichi Honda, Yuji Shimomura

Patent number: 6402454Abstract: A forklift, in which, if a synchronous mode change-over switch is depressed, a forward/backward moving lever is switched over to the backward moving side, and a throttle pedal is stepped down, then a pusher is moved forward by a pusher cylinder in synchronization with the backward movement of the vehicle body of the forklift to thereby push out baggage carried on a fork therefrom. An oil pressure circuit connects together a pusher cylinder and an oil pressure pump. A hand-operated switch valve 21 is disposed in the oil pressure circuit. A valve full-open switch 22 opposes a projection portion 25 provided on and projected from a pusher lever 12 which is used to switch the state of the hand-operated switch valve 21. When the pusher lever 12 fully opens the hand-operated switch valve 21, the projection portion 25 contacts with the valve full-open switch 22 to thereby allow the valve full-open switch 22 to issue a detect signal to a control part of the forklift.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1999Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: Nippon Yusoki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuyuki Yamaguchi, Sanpei Kikuchi, Haruhiko Kakitsubata, Takahiro Kitao, Hiroshi Minami, Shinobu Tanaka

Patent number: 6203218Abstract: When an edge processing head is scanned in one direction, the discharge of a rinse solution from a rinse solution discharge nozzle at the front in a carrying direction is stopped, a developing solution is discharged from a developing solution discharge nozzle, and a rinse solution is discharged from a rinse solution discharge nozzle at the rear in the carrying direction. Specifically, with a developing solution being discharged to a glass substrate, the discharge of a rinse solution immediately follows the discharge of the developing solution.
