20110112430 | TRUNK WIDTH MEASURING UNIT AND VISCERAL FAT MEASURING DEVICE - A trunk width measuring unit including a first contact portion attached movably in the vertical direction relative to a unit main body, the first contact portion to be brought into contact with an upper surface of a trunk of a subject, second and third contact portions attached movably in the horizontal direction relative to the unit main body, a vertical width detection encoder for detecting a lowering distance of the first contact portion from an original position on the upper side of the trunk of the user to a contact point with the upper surface of the trunk, and a horizontal width detection encoder attached movably in the horizontal direction relative to the unit main body by the same distance as a moving distance of the second contact portion, the horizontal width detection encoder detecting a moving distance of the third contact portion relative to the second contact portion. | 05-12-2011 |
20110130676 | VISCERAL FAT MEASURING DEVICE - To provide a visceral fat measuring device capable of simply and noninvasively measuring a visceral fat amount. | 06-02-2011 |
20110137198 | TRUNK WIDTH MEASURING UNIT AND VISCERAL FAT MEASURING DEVICE - To provide a trunk width measuring unit capable of improving reliability of measurement precision, and a visceral fat measuring device. The trunk width measuring unit is provided with a first contact portion to be brought into contact with an upper surface of a trunk of a user in a supine position, a second contact portion to be brought into contact with one of side surfaces of the trunk, a third contact portion to be brought into contact with the other side surface of the trunk, and a trunk width calculating unit for calculating vertical width and horizontal width of the trunk from height from an upper surface of a bed to a contact position of the first contact portion and a distance between the second contact portion and the third contact portion. | 06-09-2011 |
20110137199 | VISCERAL FAT MEASURING DEVICE - A visceral fat measuring device capable of simply and safely measuring a visceral fat amount is provided. In the visceral fat measuring device for calculating the visceral fat amount based on trunk measurement information, impedance information of the entire trunk, and impedance information of a surface layer of the trunk obtained by measuring a potential difference in the body axis direction of the trunk on the dorsal side of the trunk, a belt has a hollow pressed member pressed onto the dorsal side of the trunk, the pressed member having a pressed surface provided with electrodes, a wiring member including a circuit substrate connected to the electrodes for measuring the potential difference is accommodated inside the pressed member, the pressed member has flexibility in the vertical direction to the body axis direction so as to be curved along a surface shape of the dorsal side of the trunk, and when the pressed member is curved, an opposite surface to the pressed surface is extended relatively to the pressed surface and deflected. | 06-09-2011 |
20120310068 | BODY FAT MEASUREMENT DEVICE - A body fat measurement device includes: hand electrodes that make contact with both hands; back area electrodes that makes contact with the surface of the back area side of the trunk area; foot electrodes that make contact with both feet; a body impedance measurement unit that measures a body impedance in a body using these multiple electrodes; and a body fat mass calculation unit that calculates a body fat mass based on the body impedance measured by the body impedance measurement unit. The foot electrodes that make contact with both feet are provided on a platform unit in an exposed state, and the hand electrodes that make contact with both hands and the back area electrodes that make contact with the surface of the back area side of the trunk area are all provided on a fitting unit in an exposed state. | 12-06-2012 |
20130006086 | BODY FAT MEASUREMENT DEVICE - A body fat measurement device includes multiple electrodes, a trunk area width detection unit for measuring a trunk area width and a trunk area depth, a body impedance measurement unit that measures a body impedance of a body using the multiple electrodes, and a body fat mass calculation unit that calculates a body fat mass based on the measured body impedance and the trunk area width and trunk area depth. A frame-shaped fitting unit in which the trunk area width detection unit is provided and that is capable of being disposed so as to surround a measurement subject's trunk area can be mounted on and removed from a platform unit in which foot electrodes are provided, and is stored within the platform unit during a stored state. | 01-03-2013 |
20130023747 | BODY FAT MEASUREMENT DEVICE - A body fat measurement device includes hand electrodes that contact both hands, back area electrodes that contact the surface of a trunk area of the back, foot electrodes that contact both feet, a trunk area width detection unit for measuring the width and depth of the trunk area, a body impedance measurement unit that measures the body impedance of a body using the multiple electrodes and a body fat mass calculation unit that calculates a body fat mass based on the body impedance and the width and depth of the trunk area. The back area electrodes that make contact with the surface of the back of the trunk area are provided in a fitting unit in an exposed state, as well as the trunk area width detection unit. Accordingly, a body fat measurement device can measure a body fat mass easily and accurately in a household or the like. | 01-24-2013 |
20140018658 | PAD TRAY - A pad tray includes a base portion and a recessed region that is formed in the front side of the base portion and is for accommodating an electrode pad, the recessed region having a bottom region and a sidewall region that extends up from the bottom region and is provided so as to surround the electrode pad. | 01-16-2014 |
