Yuichi Kugimiya has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Taste recognition apparatus and taste recognition system using the same
    Patent number: 7858036
    Abstract: A taste recognizing device has a sensor body and a touch panel. The sensor body includes a sensor part with a sensor probe for measuring taste by means of a molecular film which outputs an electrical signal presenting taste information representing at least one kind of taste, a solution insertion part having insertion sections which are arranged circumferentially at predetermined intervals and in which a solution whose taste is to be measured, a reference taste measurement solution and a cleaning solution are selectively inserted, and an arm drive part for moving the sensor part relative to a predetermined insertion section of the solution insertion part. On the basis of the electric signal outputted from the sensor probe and presenting the taste information, at least measurement for taste recognition of the solution whose taste is to be measured is made possible.
