For the purpose of effectively supervising a user of the health indexes that cannot always be measured, such as the weight and blood pressure, warning and information are provided based on a prediction of the health indexes. In an information management system, in which a first parameter that is not always measured is predicted from a second always measurable parameter.

To secure a stable radio-communication performance in a sensor node, the sensor node with a radio-communication circuit and a sensor, for transmitting data measured by the sensor through radio-communication, includes a first board BO2 on which an antenna ANT1 connected to the radio-communication circuit is placed, a case CASE1 containing the first board BO2, and a band that is attached to the case CASE1 so as to fix the case CASE1 to the skin. The antenna ANT1 is placed in an upper portion of the case CASE1, which corresponds to a 12 o'clock direction of a wristwatch.

The precision of measuring biometric information is enhanced while suppressing the consumption of a battery in a sensor node. In a method of measuring the biometric information in a sensor node including a controller for driving a sensor to measure biometric information, the controller supplies power from a battery to an acceleration sensor for detecting the movement of a living body to detect the movement of the living body, the controller determines whether or not measurement by a pulsebeat sensor is possible based on the detected movement of the living body (P330), and shuts off power to the acceleration sensor having a power consumption lower than that of the pulsebeat sensor when the determination results show that measurement is possible, and thereafter supplying power to the pulsebeat sensor having a power consumption larger than that of the acceleration sensor to measure the biometric information (P340).

摘要:
A method, system, and library for generating high-speed logic circuits with reduced path depths even in cases when a critical path diverges into a plurality of paths that eventually converge. By replacing the gates of a logic circuit by selectors with two inputs and one output, a selector-based circuit is generated where a local circuit between the path divergence node and convergence node is detected. The stages of the critical path are reduced by replacing the local circuit by a logically equivalent selector with two inputs and one output; wherein one input of the selector is controlled by a circuit formed by inputting a logical value of “0” to the divergence node from which the local circuit is developed and a second input of the selector is controlled by a circuit formed by inputting a logical value of “1” to the divergence node.

For the relation between the first and second pass-transistor circuits (PT1, PT2), the output signal of the preceding-stage is supplied to the gate of the succeeding-stage, and for the relation between the second and third pass-transistor circuits (PT2, PT3), the output signal of the preceding-stage is supplied to the source-drain path of the succeeding-stage. The first pass-transistor circuit (PT1) receives on its first input node (In1) and second input node (In2) the first input signal and the second input signal that are logically independent from each other. This logic circuit requires a smaller number of transistors and is capable of reducing the power consumption and delay and accomplishing an intricate logic function.

In order to effectively explore a binary decision diagram for synthesizing a logic circuit, a tentative circuit comprised of AND gates and OR gates is synthesized from a logic function. The number of gates in this circuit to which two input variables are simultaneously associated are counted and used as correlation between the two input variables. A correlation matrix for correlation among all of the input variables is generated. The input variables are sequentially grouped from a set of input variables with strongest correlation in the correlation matrix: These groups are registered into a correlation tree, and an intergroup correlation tree is produced. These groups are sequentially selected from a group with the least correlation, and the intragroup order of the selected group is changed from one to another. A binary decision diagram is explored which satisfies the most appropriate condition in that group (such as the minimum number of nodes, the minimum delay, and the minimum area). The above processes repeated for all groups. Each node of the binary decision diagram thus obtained is substituted by a selector and each selector circuit is substituted by a circuit of a transistor level.

A program for automatically designing a logic circuit used for a method of designing a pass transistor circuit, by which the number of required transistors, delay time, power consumption and chip area of the pass transistor circuit is reduced. The program executes the following steps: a) receiving inputted logic functions which define the logical relationship between the inputs and the outputs, and an inputted target specification, b) generating a binary decision diagram from part of the logic functions received at (a), c) replacing the diagram nodes formed at (b) with pass transistor circuit, d) judging whether or not the simulation characteristics of the pass transistor circuit described in (c) meets the target specification described in (a), and executing the following steps when the judgment is “no”, e) replacing part of the diagram generated by the procedure described in (b) with another diagram, f) allocating a new binary decision diagram to the control inputs of the nodes of the replaced diagram prepared at (e), and g) repeating the steps (c) and (d) for the diagram prepared at (f).
