Abstract: A visceral fat measurement device includes a current-applying electrode pair including a first current-applying electrode and a second current-applying electrode, and a voltage measurement electrode pair including a first voltage measurement electrode and a second voltage measurement electrode. The current-applying electrode pair is arranged on a projected line obtained by projecting the body trunk axis of a measured body to the body surface of an abdominal part of the measured body. The first and second current-applying electrodes are separated from each other at a predetermined interval determined so that a current path connecting the first current-applying electrode, visceral fat, and the second current-applying electrode is formed. The voltage measurement electrode pair is arranged between the first and second current-applying electrodes in a direction along the body trunk axis of the measured body.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an orthodontic appliance for accelerating the tooth aligning effect and shortening the treatment period, and has an object to provide an appliance which can bring about higher aligning effect than usual ways by giving vibration to tooth to be aligned to activate bone remodeling of the targeted tooth and the alveolar bone and enhance the shift of the tooth. This appliance includes a vibrating element and a dental mouthpiece having the vibrating element built therein. The provision of the vibrating element in the dental mouthpiece facilitates the application of vibration and handling, and continues the treatment safely even at home. The inner shape of the dental mouthpiece serves aligning treatment as well as acceleration of the effect.

Abstract: A target presentation device comprises a concave mirror, a half mirror 3, and a movement device 4. The concave mirror 2 presents the virtual image of the image displayed on the image display device to the observer. The concave mirror is disposed such that the optical distance between the image display device and the concave mirror is set to be shorter than the focal point distance. The half mirror crosses and is inclined with the optical axis of the concave mirror. The optical axis passes through the observation position of the observer. The movement device moves the image display device to vary the image display device, whereby the optical distance is varied within the focus distance. The movement device moves the image display device to increase the virtual image's movement speed as the optical distance becomes long. Consequently, the fatigue of the focusing function of the observer is reduced.
