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:
There is a limit on the miniaturization of electric leakage detecting apparatuses including a ring-shaped magnetic material. Any thicker electric wires increase the size of the ring-shaped magnetic material. Additionally, it is difficult to place the ring-shaped magnetic material around the electric wires that have already been placed. In light of the foregoing, an electric leakage apparatus is provided. The electric leakage detecting apparatus is to be installed on a pair of power source lines connecting a power source and a load, and includes: a pair of holders configured to hold the power source lines, respectively; a fixing means configured to fix the holders at a predetermined interval; a pair of magnetic elements each placed on each of the holders while being parallel to the power source lines; a detecting means configured to detect a difference between magneto-resistance effects of the magnetic elements; and a driving means configured to feed a drive current to the magnetic elements.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional display system, a head up display system, and a mobile object including a head up display system include a display apparatus, barrier, detection apparatus, and controller. The display apparatus has subpixels arranged in a grid along orthogonal first and second directions and displays left- and right-eye images respectively in first subpixels and second subpixels separated by a display boundary from among the subpixels. The barrier has a light shielding region that shields the left-eye image and the right-eye image, and a light transmitting region that causes at least part of the left-eye image to reach a left eye of a user and at least part of the right-eye image to reach a right eye of the user. The detection apparatus detects the left and right eye positions. The controller moves the display boundary based on at least a change in the positions of the left and right eyes.
Abstract:
To provide a liquid medical material maintaining a colloid in a more sol form than a solid at normal temperature, having a higher function as a wound dressing material and a hemostatic material than fibrin glue, and being able to be produced safely and inexpensively. A gelatin aqueous solution including calcium at a concentration of 0.2 M or more and 1.0 M or less, and having a concentration of 5% by weight or more and 40% by weight or less, an average molecular weight of 80,000 or more and 120,000 or less, and a molecular weight distribution of 20,000 or more and 300,000 or less, and transglutaminase inducing crosslinking of the gelatin, are included. It is preferable that the calcium has a concentration of 0.2 M or more and 0.7 M or less, the gelatin has a bloom of 160 or more and 250 or less, and the transglutaminase has activity per unit of 36 U/ml to 400 U/ml.
Abstract:
The heat medium transport paths are arranged between the first building and the second building and transport heat media that transport heat energy. A temperature distribution acquisition means acquires the temperature distribution of the heat media that have temperatures being different from each other in the heat medium transport paths and that are sequentially transported in a state of having a predetermined length in the transport direction in the heat medium transport paths. A control means receives a load request of an air conditioner of the first building, and when a heat medium having the heat energy that satisfies the load request received reaches the first building, based on the temperature distribution acquired by the temperature distribution acquisition means, the control means causes the air conditioner of the first building to take out the heat energy from the heat medium reached.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a crystal of reduced glutathione that is stable, and is easy to process, and a method for producing the crystal. According to the present invention, a crystal of a metal salt of reduced glutathione is produced by suspending an amorphous solid of a metal salt of reduced glutathione in a hydrophobic organic solvent, and adding water to the resulting suspension to precipitate a crystal of a metal salt of reduced glutathione.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a charge/discharge measuring apparatus capable of appropriate charge/discharge management by accurately measuring a capacitance change of a secondary battery in charge/discharge. This charge/discharge measuring apparatus is configured such that a current from the secondary battery can be switched between a first connection circuit in which the secondary battery, a load resistor, and a conductor film are connected in series and a second connection circuit in which the secondary battery, a charger, and the conductor film are connected in series. Moreover, this charge/discharge measuring apparatus has a magnetic film arranged in parallel with the conductor film and connected in parallel with connection from the secondary battery to the load resistor and the charger and has a voltage detecting means for detecting a voltage change in the magnetic film.
