  • Publication number: 20240078831
    Abstract: To determine the state of a subject person with a simple structure, an image determining device includes: an imaging unit that captures an image from a first direction, the image including the subject person; a first detector that detects size information from the image, the size information being about the subject person in the first direction; a second detector that detects position-related information, the position-related information being different from the information detected by the first detector; and a determining unit that determines the state of the subject person, based on a result of the detection performed by the first detector and a result of the detection performed by the second detector.

  • Patent number: 9108871
    Abstract: A selective hydrogen adding equipment for living organism applicable fluid, comprising a hydrogen generating system and a hydrogen bubble forming implement, the hydrogen bubble forming implement having a gas/liquid separating section including an open-close type valve, wherein the hydrogen bubble forming implement is disposed in a closed container storing living organism applicable fluid and the hydrogen gas is supplied into the closed container storing living organism applicable fluid via the gas/liquid separating section thereby to provide living organism applicable hydrogen-contained fluid, and wherein the open-close type valve is opened by a gas pressure of hydrogen gas generated in an internal of the hydrogen bubble forming implement owing to a reaction between the hydrogen generating system and the generating-purpose water thereby to exhaust hydrogen gas into the closed container as an external of the hydrogen bubble forming implement while the open-close type valve is closed after the exhaust.

  • Publication number: 20090196863
    Abstract: A method of antioxidation and antioxidant-functioning water that can transform an antioxidation subject that is in an oxidation state due to a deficiency of electrons, or for which protection from oxidation is desired, into a reduced state where electrons are satisfied, by promoting the breaking reaction of molecular hydrogen that is used as a substrate included in hydrogen-dissolved water into a product of active hydrogen through a process employing a catalyst on the hydrogen-dissolved water, while anticipating high benchmarks of safety on the human body and reduced environmental burden.

  • Publication number: 20090181105
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide an antioxidation method and antioxidant-functioning water that can anticipate high benchmarks of safety on the antioxidation subject such as the human body and reduced environmental burden. An antioxidation method and antioxidant-functioning water that can transform or maintain an antioxidation subject, which is in an oxidation state due to a deficiency of electrons or needs to be protected from oxidation, into a reduced state where electrons are filled by promoting the breaking reaction of molecular hydrogen used as a substrate included in the hydrogen-dissolved water into a product of active hydrogen through a process employing a catalyst, which is a precious metal colloid or a hydrogen oxidation/reduction enzyme (except for those already existing in a living organism), on the hydrogen-dissolved water.

  • Publication number: 20070148256
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new pharmacologic-functioning water demonstrating pharmacologic function without any side effects, and usage of the same. The pharmacologic-functioning water, which demonstrates pharmacologic function without any side effects and includes antioxidant-functioning water as an active principle containing hydrogen-dissolved water, which is made up of molecular hydrogen used as a substrate that is included in raw water, and a precious metal colloid, which is included in the hydrogen-dissolved water and catalyzes the breaking reaction of the molecular hydrogen into a product of atomic hydrogen, is used for preventing and/or treating diseases.

  • Patent number: 6596092
    Abstract: Washing items are washed simultaneously with softening washing water comprising alkali metal ion and at least one of carbonate ion and bicarbonate ion. The washing water before being softened is obtained by electrolyzing an aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate having a pH of 9.5 or more and an electric conductivity of 150 mS/m or more. The softened washing water has a total hardness of 40 ppm or less.

  • Publication number: 20030089618
    Abstract: The present invention provides reducing electrolyzed water which has a pH of 3 to 12 and an oxidation-reduction potential of up to −200 mV, preferably a pH of 5 to 11 and an oxidation-reduction potential of up to −500 mV, and in which the common logarithm of the product of the hydrogen ion concentration [H+] and the electron concentration [e−] is at least −4.5, preferably at least 0. The reducing electrolyzed water is used as potable water, agricultural fertilizers, drip solutions and other injections, dialysis solutions and face lotion, and particularly shows significant medical effects.
