  • Patent number: 9127978
    Abstract: A system for rapidly and precisely measuring and recording changes and fluctuations in weight of respective divided body parts occurred from moment to moment in a given position is provided. In the system, divided body part weighing units for separately weighing all body parts and a measurement controlling and data processing unit for controlling the weighing units and for receiving the measured data from the weighing units and are connected so as to be freely transmittable.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8540649
    Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide a system and a method for accurately measuring the weight of a portion of a human body. [MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] This system for measuring the weight of each of six body portions of a human body comprises support base provided for six body portions and supporting the body portions, six body portion measuring units each having a weight measuring part measuring the weight of the body portion and a data transmission-reception part transmitting and receiving data including data on the weight of the body portion measured by the weight measuring part, and a data processing unit transmitting control data to the six body portion measuring units and receiving the data on the measured weights of the body portions. The data processing unit comprises a means determining whether or not the total sum of the data on the measured weights of the six body portions matches the weight of the human body within a present allowable range.

  • Patent number: 6007323
    Abstract: There is described a combustion method which completely incinerates substances to be burned, particularly non-industrial wastes and industrial wastes, without involvement of generation of harmful substances. Under the combustion method, a portion of or substantially all triplet oxygen molecules involved in combustion are excited to singlet oxygen molecules, and substances to be burned are incinerated in the presence of singlet oxygen. Microwave discharge or photosensitization reaction is employed for exciting triplet oxygen to singlet oxygen.

  • Patent number: 6004128
    Abstract: There is described a combustion system which completely incinerates substances to be burned, particularly non-industrial wastes and industrial wastes, without involvement of generation of harmful substances. The combustion system has a singlet-oxygen generator for generating singlet-oxygen by excitation of oxygen from the triplet state to the singlet state, and induction means for introducing the thus-generated singlet oxygen into a combustion chamber. More preferably, the combustion system has merging means for merging the singlet oxygen and air. Alternatively, the singlet oxygen generator is built into a combustion chamber. Further, the singlet oxygen generator is arranged so as to excite triplet oxygen to singlet oxygen by means of microwave discharge.
