  • Publication number: 20120071768
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20090312652
    Abstract: An electronic manometer detects pressure within a cuff at which an amplitude of change in a volume of an artery of a measurement subject becomes a maximum by detecting volume of an artery of a measurement subject while superimposing a vibration of high frequency during a period of raising the pressure to apply on the cuff or during a period of lowering after raising to greater than or equal to a systolic blood pressure of the measurement subject. The electronic manometer controls the pressure to apply on the cuff so that the volume of the artery of the measurement subject becomes constant, and measures the blood pressure of the measurement subject from an increased or decreased value of the pressure to apply.

  • Publication number: 20040162695
    Abstract: An unqualified person driving prevention apparatus has a qualified person marker held by a person having driving qualification. This marker is continuously detected and when the marker is not detected, a predetermined measure to ensure safety is taken. The measure may be a warning to a driver through the sense of sight or the sense of hearing, or a driving stop of a vehicle. When the qualified person marker is detected during execution of the measure to ensure safety, the execution of the measure can be released.

  • Patent number: 6443641
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6402454
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6273669
    Abstract: In a load handling apparatus for a counterbalance type forklift, action and speed conditions of tilting a mast and lifting and lowering a fork are operated by use of a single operating lever and a single switch attached to the operating lever. Also, a controller is provided that prevents simultaneous operation of action conditions. The controller includes an inhibiting circuit that halts all action conditions when the operational state of the switch is changed during operation, and thus, unintended action conditions due to erroneous operation of the switch are prevented.

  • Patent number: 6203218
    Abstract: 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. Thus, the edge processing of the substrate can be performed with minimal increases in the number of processes and in installation.
