  • SLEEP APNEA TREATMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20220047839
    Abstract: A sleep apnea treatment apparatus including a stimulation device that applies a stimulation to a subject, and a controller including circuitry which receives sounds produced by the subject, converts the sounds to received sound signals, obtains snoring sound information from the received sound signals, calculates an impact of snoring sound produced by the subject based on the snoring sound information, and causes the stimulation device to apply the stimulation to the subject when the impact is higher than a threshold.

  • Address control circuit capable of setting address rapidly and method of setting address after power-on reset, the address control circuit providing protection against over-voltage
    Patent number: 10331571
    Abstract: An address control circuit includes a setting terminal connectable to a ground potential, a time constant setting circuit connected to the setting terminal, and a control unit connected to the time constant setting circuit and configured to set an address for serial communication. The time constant setting circuit includes a resistive element disposed between the setting terminal and the control unit and configured to protect the control unit against overvoltage. The control unit outputs a voltage to the time constant setting circuit, and sets an address at a predetermined timing based on the voltage input from the time constant setting circuit when a predetermined time has passed after the output of the voltage is stopped.
