A plane magnetic sensor or a plane magnetic sensor for a multidimensional magnetic field analysis which can measure a magnetic field ever a wide area in a short time is provided. A plane magnetic sensor 10 according to the present invention comprises a sensing layer 11 made of a magnetoresistance effect film formed in a planar state with an arbitrary size, to pass a current therethrough due to a tunneling effect only when voltage reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, and to change its resistance value to show a giant magnetoresistance effect when directions of magnetization of magnetic fine particles change according to the strength of a magnetic field, and conductor layers 12, 13 laminated on respective surfaces of the magnetoresistance effect film and are made of a plurality of line conductor films 12a, 13a formed in linear shapes along directions of the respective surfaces with predetermined intervals therebetween. The line conductor films 12a of one conductor layer 12 and the line conductor films 13a of the other conductor layer 13 are arranged to intersect to each other in plan view, with the magnetoresistance effect film therebetween.

A magnetic circuit includes a multi-pole magnet mounted on a predetermined surface of a yoke and having magnetic poles formed in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined surface of the yoke. The multi-pole magnet is separated into two pieces, and a single-pole magnet is interposed between the two pieces of the multi-pole magnet. Magnetic poles of the single-pole magnet are formed in a direction different from the direction in which those of the multi-pole magnet are formed.

A technology to grasp a state of a human being more accurately is provided. The technology is provided with means for acquiring a time-series waveform of a frequency from a time-series waveform of a biological signal sampled from the upper body of a human being and for further acquiring a time-series waveform of frequency slope and a time-series waveform of frequency fluctuation and for applying frequency analysis to them. In the frequency analysis, a power spectrum of each frequency corresponding to a functional adjustment signal, a fatigue reception signal, and an activity adjustment signal, respectively, determined in advance is acquired. Then, a state of a human being is determined from a time-series change of each power spectrum. The fatigue reception signal indicates a degree of progress of fatigue in a usual active state and thus, by comparing it with degrees of predominance of the functional adjustment signal and the activity adjustment signal as their distribution rates, a state of a human being (relaxed state, fatigued state, state in which sympathetic nerve is predominant, a state in which parasympathetic nerve is predominant and the like) can be determined more accurately.

To achieve weight reduction while providing elasticity sufficient in a cushioning member for a vehicle seat, an elastic member made of expanded resin beads includes an elastic covering material having stretching properties stuck to an outer face of an expanded bead body. Therefore, when the elastic member made of expanded resin beads is bent or compressed, the respective beads themselves configuring the expanded bead body are elastically deformed according to stretching or compressing of the elastic covering material, and since the elastic deformation is not such deformation that a gap between beads of the expanded bead body largely expands, a crack occurring between beads or permanent deformation does not occur so that bending or compressing becomes possible. Accordingly, the elastic member made of expanded resin beads is suitable as a cushioning member utilizing an elastic recovering force in a bending direction and a thickness direction thereof.

摘要:
A cushion structure that does not cause pain to a user when seated and that promotes steady breathing. Three dimensional knit fabrics are formed as a laminate of plural stacked layers, and a minimal-layer structure section, which does not possess at least even a single intermediate layer between the topmost layer and the bottommost layer, is provided on the approximate center section in the width direction in a prescribed width and in a prescribed length from front to back. The approximate center section in the width direction of the cushion structure is the region upon which the area around the sacrum is positioned when the user is seated.

摘要:
There are provided a bio-signal analyzer using a sensor capable of detecting, even though it is non-invasive, a more prominent bio-signal, and a seat using the bio-signal analyzer. Air cushions (10), which are sensors detecting a bio-signal in a non-invasive manner, are disposed at the positions corresponding respectively to left and right iliocostalis lumborum muscles of a person, in a substantially vertically long state along the iliocostalis lumborum muscles, with upper ends thereof being set at least at the height corresponding to a lower face of a human diaphragm. In the diaphragm, bio-signals such as heartbeats, breaths, or pulsations of aorta passing through the vicinity of the diaphragm are resonated and amplified. Further, the iliocostalis lumborum muscles are at positions where they are easily vibrated by pulsations of aorta passing through the vicinity of the lumbar region. Therefore, by disposing the air cushions (10) as described above, bio-signals amplified by the diaphragm and the iliocostalis lumborum muscles can be detected.
