  • Publication number: 20110118623
    Abstract: The invention provides an electronic thermometer in which a contact state with a human body can be confirmed by a simple, easy-to-assemble configuration. The electronic thermometer includes a hollow outer case that includes a probe unit with a temperature measuring unit, a temperature sensor, an inner case, a control circuit, and a pair of electrodes. The electrodes are positioned inside the probe unit by mounting the inner case on the outer case. A determination unit is also provided and the determination unit measures an electrostatic capacitance between the pair of electrodes and determines whether the probe unit is in proper contact with the measured region of the user based on a change of the measured electrostatic capacitance.

  • Patent number: 7754157
    Abstract: The present invention provides a humidifier capable of removing microorganisms without using electric power. The humidifier includes a reservoir; a humidification system including a humidification filter arranged such that at least part thereof is immersed in water and a blowing means for discharging air through the humidification filter; and a microorganism remover including a first electrode and a second electrode having different electric potentials and opposing to each other to have a space therebetween and a short circuit part for causing a short circuit between the first and second electrodes. The first electrode is higher than the second electrode in electric potential and at least the first and second electrodes are arranged in contact with water in the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 5155557
    Abstract: An alignment detection apparatus for detecting the alignment of a superfine exposure system including an interrupted emission light source. The apparatus is equipped with an output variation monitoring sensor to detect an output variation of the light source and further a photoelectric conversion device to perform the photoelectric conversion of the alignment light to generate discrete photoelectric conversion signals. Also included in the apparatus is an integration and hold circuit to integrate and peak-hold each of the photoelectric conversion signals. This peak-hold values are corrected on the basis of the detected light-source output variation due to the monitoring sensor to output stepwise continuous signals from which a harmonic component is removed by a filter so as to obtain a smooth analog waveform. This analog waveform is processed by a phase detector. The output of the phase detector allows an accurate alignment irrespective of using the interrupted emission light source.
