    Abstract: A swallowing sensor that is attached to a person's pharyngeal portion and that measures the person's swallowing ability includes: a film-shaped detector that detects vibration based on displacement and sound of the pharyngeal portion; an adhesive layer that is provided on one of two main sides of the detector and that attaches the detector to the pharyngeal portion; and a sensing film arranged on the detector to cover entirety of the other main side of the detector, wherein a main side of the sensing film that contacts the detector contains an adhesive component, the sensing film is attachable to the pharyngeal portion around the detector using the adhesive component, and the sensing film conveys vibration to the detector. Accordingly, the swallowing ability can be more accurately measured.

    Abstract: A measuring device is provided with an improved contact property of a measuring surface of a sensor with respect to a surface of a target object. The measuring device includes a main body and a probe that has a head section at the distal end thereof and an arm section connecting the head section to the main body. The head section has a support portion, a measuring portion, and a coupling portion. The support portion is connected to the distal end of the arm section. The measuring portion has a first surface at which a measuring surface of a sensor is exposed and a thickness with the first surface as a datum plane. The coupling portion is disposed between and couples the measuring portion and the support portion. The coupling portion has a first connection portion connected to the measuring portion and a through hole.

    Abstract: A measuring device is provided for reducing the occurrence of damage to a sensor section. The sensor section includes a substrate, a pair of comb electrodes on a first principal surface, and a pair of back-side electrodes disposed on a second principal surface and corresponding to the pair of comb electrodes, respectively. The pair of comb electrodes includes a plurality of tooth sections and connection sections that connect the tooth sections to each other, respectively. The substrate includes via-hole conductors in positions corresponding to the tooth sections inside a region surrounded by the outer tooth sections on opposite ends in a direction in which the tooth sections in the pair of comb electrodes are aligned and the connection sections. The via-hole conductors connect the comb electrodes and the back-side electrodes.

    Abstract: A component main body has a multilayer structure having a thickness and in which a first dielectric glass layer in which an internal conductor is embedded and having a thickness is interposed between a pair of magnetic layers containing a ferrite material as a primary component, and each of a pair of second dielectric glass layers is disposed on one of principal surfaces of the pair of magnetic layers. First to fourth outer electrodes are disposed on both end portions of the component main body. The thickness of at least one of the pair of second dielectric glass layers that faces a mounting substrate is about 10 μm to 64 μm.

    Abstract: A measuring instrument is provided for inserting into an oral cavity with a narrow opening and that enables intraoral measurement in such a way as to relieve stress exerted on a probe part of the measuring instrument. The measuring device is configured to ensure that the probe part is accurately pressed against the oral mucosa of a person subjected to measurement. The measuring instrument includes a grip and a probe. The probe includes a measurement section and a joint forming a connection between the measurement section and grip. The measurement section is a tip region of the probe and provided with the sensor having an exposed measurement surface. A circuit board is disposed in the joint. The circuit board is an oscillation circuit board on which members forming an oscillation circuit are mounted. The oscillation circuit outputs an oscillatory signal corresponding to an electrical signal transmitted from the sensor.

    Abstract: A cover for covering an oral device that includes a first sheet member made of a first resin, and a second sheet member made of a second resin and facing the first sheet member, wherein when a first direction is a direction along a surface of the first sheet member and a second direction is a direction along the surface of the first sheet member and orthogonal to the first direction, the first sheet member and the second sheet member are joined to each other in a bag shape so as to define an opening at a first side in the first direction. A protruding portion protrudes from the second sheet member and past an outer edge of the first sheet member at the opening in the first direction.
