  • Patent number: 11519793
    Abstract: To provide a skin simulation device, an electronic apparatus evaluation method, and an electronic apparatus evaluation system that make it possible to reproduce the characteristics of a skin temperature of a human body. The skin simulation device according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a sheet-shaped simulated skin member that includes an outer surface and an inner surface, and a subcutaneous unit that includes a subcutaneous temperature detector and a subcutaneous temperature adjusting mechanism. The subcutaneous temperature detector is capable of detecting a temperature of the inner surface. The subcutaneous temperature adjusting mechanism is capable of adjusting the temperature of the inner surface. This makes it possible to adjust the temperature of the inner surface of the simulated skin member (a subcutaneous temperature), and to reproduce the characteristics of a skin temperature of a human body.

  • Patent number: 7308637
    Abstract: A stable system is provided wherein the influence of disturbance or the like can be reduced. First error correcting code units and second error correcting code units are used, and thereby a wider range of random errors and burst errors are made correctable to avoid retry operation. Thus, stable data reproduction is carried out without degrading transfer rate. Further, the constitution of error correcting blocks is set so that when a head is moved to some track during seek operation, a sector having the second error correcting code recorded therein is the first sector to be read.
