Abstract:
A body fat diagnostic apparatus with which fat can be diagnosed safely is provided even in the case where a deep portion of the living body is diagnosed or there are bone tissues outside the measurement region. The body fat diagnostic apparatus is formed of: a probe 2 for emitting ultrasonic waves both for applying heat and for diagnosis; and an ultrasonic wave velocity change analyzing unit 15 for calculating the change in the velocity of ultrasonic waves in the measurement region on the basis of the ultrasonic wave echo signals acquired from the region before and after the application of heat using the probe 2, so that fat is diagnosed on the basis of the calculated change in the velocity of ultrasonic waves.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for enhancing collagen production, for enhancing elastin production and/or for enhancing keratinocyte migration, including sesaminol as an active component. The present invention also relates to a method for enhancing collagen production, for enhancing elastin production and/or for enhancing keratinocyte migration, including administering the composition.
Abstract:
A body fat diagnostic apparatus, with which a change in the velocity of ultrasonic waves can be measured and fat can be diagnosed while suppressing the effects of a periodical change due to respiration and heartbeats of a subject, is formed of: a process unit for sequentially acquiring ultrasonic wave echo signals for a number of frames so as to form a group of B mode images; a data storage unit for storing the ultrasonic wave echo signals corresponding to the groups of B mode images; a sampling unit for sampling one frame as a standard image and another frame as a comparative image through the calculation of a cross correlation; and a velocity change analyzing unit for forming an image by calculating a change in the velocity of ultrasonic waves on the basis of the ultrasonic wave echo signals corresponding to the standard image and the comparative image.
Abstract:
A thermoacoustic cooling device includes a tube in which a working fluid is enclosed; a first stack that generates acoustic waves in the working fluid with use of a temperature gradient; a first high-temperature heat exchanger provided at a first side of the first stack to heat the first side of the first stack; a first low-temperature heat exchanger provided at a second side of the first stack; a second stack in which a temperature gradient is generated by the acoustic waves; a second high-temperature heat exchanger provided at a first side of the second stack, which has a high temperature; a second low-temperature heat exchanger provided at a second side of the second stack, which has a low temperature; and a heat transfer portion configured to connect the second low-temperature heat exchanger to the first low-temperature heat exchanger so as to transfer heat therebetween.
