Publication number: 20110118623Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2011Publication date: May 19, 2011Applicant: OMRON HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshihito NAKANISHI, Katsuyoshi MORITA, Takeshi HAGIMOTO

Patent number: 5155557Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1991Date of Patent: October 13, 1992Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshiyuki Iwazawa, Masaki Yamamoto, Yoshihito Nakanishi, Takeo Sato
