  • Patent number: 9126000
    Abstract: An artificial ventilation apparatus includes: a connecting portion which is connected to a respiratory system of a patient; an inspiratory circuit which is a flow path for flowing a gas from a ventilator to the connecting portion; an expiratory circuit which is a flow path for guiding a gas exhausted from the connecting portion to an exhaust portion of the ventilator; an expiratory valve which blocks a flow of a gas from the exhaust portion toward the connecting portion; a carbon dioxide concentration sensor which is disposed in a circuit that is provided at a downstream side of the expiratory valve and which detects a carbon dioxide concentration; and an alarm outputting unit which outputs an alarm based on an output of the carbon dioxide concentration sensor.

  • Publication number: 20130257811
    Abstract: A projector 22 projects video onto a surface of an infrared light reflection member 26 following control by a PC 20. A detection unit 24 includes an infrared light emitter 28 and a depth camera 30. Since the infrared light which is reflected by the infrared light reflection member 26 does not return to the depth camera 30, the infrared light reflection member 26 is an area whose distance is unmeasurable. Further, a distance can be obtained outside the infrared light reflection member 26 since the infrared light is diffusely reflected. This allows obtainment of the relative relationship between the position of an outer periphery of the infrared light reflection member 26 and the position of an object 32. Accordingly, a touched position can be calculated, and a process on the basis of that is possible.

  • Patent number: 6700129
    Abstract: The present invention transmits, to an electronic board controller 14, click signals generated upon manipulating multiple switches provided on a coordinates-inputting pen 13, timing signals upon detecting infrared scanning beams 18a and 18b, and the like without using a connecting wire. Specifically, light-emitting elements are provided which can emit visible or infrared light to the coordinates-inputting pen 13. A timing signal upon detecting the infrared scanning beam with the pen and a click signal generated upon manipulating the switch on the pen are sent out on a modulated light 19 to be received by a light receiver 20 arranged at a fixed position and transmitted to the electronic board controller 14.

  • Patent number: 6437314
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coordinate input pen for specifying and outputting coordinates of the pen by detecting two infrared beams that are emitted from two separate positions for pivotally scanning over a plane parallel to a surface of a display panel. The coordinate input pen includes: a shaft portion; a transparent conical light scattering member with a rough surface, which is, placed at the end of the shaft portion; and a light receiving element for detecting an infrared beam scattered within the light scattering member.

  • Patent number: 5913221
    Abstract: Disclosed is the system for editing characters and graphics through a computer with a data entered via the pen point entry procedure. The system comprises the input device for entering the data, the data processor for processing the data entered, the data storage for storing the data entered, the display device for displaying the display data, and the pen through which the data is entered. With this system, information containing characters and graphics as well as the editing request in a mixed manner can be entered through pen points without paying any consciousness to the entry of commands, as well as the characters, graphics and the commands can be subjected to processing.

  • Patent number: 5867596
    Abstract: A diagram recognizing system is capable of automatically recognizing a diagram prepared, for example, through a manual operation or through drawing software, independently from a CASE tool or the like, and delivering a recognized logic to the CASE tool or the like without the aid of any manual operation. A recognizing rule for recognizing the diagram as the object of recognition is entered and stored. A symbol, a connecting line, a character string, and a relationship of connection between the symbols, each structuring the diagram, are recognized on the basis of the recognizing rule by a diagram recognizing means. Logical data, indicative of the kind of each of the symbols, the character string, and the relationship of connection between the symbols, are generated, and the logical data are converted into and generated as a predetermined file type so as to be delivered directly to the CASE tool or the like.

  • Patent number: 5469539
    Abstract: The specification abstracting-detailing system stores system specification information in a hierarchical structure. A hierarchy operation selects an object to be detailed or abstracted from the specification information, for updating hierarchical information of a hierarchy between specification information of the hierarchy in such a state that a logical relation of the specification information contained in the hierarchy of the object selected, and for creating or deleting a new hierarchy. This allows the abstracting and detailing to be performed in the course of a natural thinking process by a designer.

  • Patent number: 5455906
    Abstract: An electronic board system has a reduced display region at a lower portion of a writing screen on its electronic board, in addition to a non-reduced display region. A character, an image such as a graphic, etc., and an edit command, written on the reduced display region, can be entered into the electronic board system, and can be displayed on the non-reduced display region of the writing screen of the electronic board. Hence, the image displayed on the non-reduced display region can be seen by other persons in front of the electron board without interference from a shadow of the writer, and the electronic board can be manipulated with readiness and at high precision by a person who cannot reach an upper portion of its writing screen. Further, sensors capable of sensing the traces of the image are embedded in the rear of the writing screen so that the electronic board can readily be moved and can be prepared at reasonably low cost.
