There is provided a biological information monitoring system for monitoring a biological information on a subject on a bed. The system includes a plurality of load detectors which are to be placed in the bed or under legs of the bed, and which are configured to detect a load of the subject; a load separation unit configured to separate a load component which oscillates according to a heartbeat of the subject, from the load of the subject; and a center of gravity position calculation unit configured to obtain a position of a center of gravity of the subject based on the load component which oscillates according to the heartbeat of the subject.

Biological information monitoring system

There is provided a biological information monitoring system for monitoring biological information of a subject on a bed, the system comprising: detectors which detect load of the subject; a center of gravity position calculating unit which acquires temporal variation of a center of gravity position of the subject based on the detected load; a body motion information determining unit which acquires information on body motion of the subject based on the acquired temporal variation; and a respiratory rate calculating unit which calculates a respiratory rate of the subject based on the acquired temporal variation and the information on the body motion of the subject. The body motion information includes information on large and small body motions of the subject, and the body motion information determining unit includes first and second body motion information determining units which determine the information on the large and small body motions of the subject, respectively.

A system includes a structure information obtaining unit which obtains structure information containing information on components of a development target in a project and on dependency relationships between the components, the structure information described, e.g., in SysML, a work item determining unit which determines work items and a work execution order based on the structure information obtained by the structure information obtaining unit; a detailed item determining unit; a date scheduling unit and a WBS storage which manages the determined work items and work execution order as work schedule definition information. The work item determining unit determines a work item related to a leaf component, which is a component not including any other component, and determines, in a case where all of the multiple components included in a single predetermined component are leaf components, a work item related to a coupling relationship between the leaf components.

An automatic designing system includes: a rule storage unit storing sets of rewrite rules for rewriting variable nodes of a hierarchically structured graph in a design architecture for the system; a search unit sequentially determining variable nodes as application targets for the rewrite rules by searching the graph, including components in the design architecture for the system to be designed, using a search tree; a judgment unit judging whether the rewrite rule is applicable to the determined variable node; and a rule application unit replacing the determined variable node with a partial graph, including at least one of fixed and variable nodes, according to the rewrite rule, in response to a judgment that the rewrite rule is applicable. The search unit performs the searching until an undefined variable node no longer exists in the graph to be designed, and performs backtracking on condition that no variable node is found.

A method is provided for making a bipolar transistor which includes a tapered, i.e. frustum-shaped, collector pedestal having an upper substantially planar surface, a lower surface, and a slanted sidewall extending between the upper surface and the lower surface, the upper surface having substantially less area than the lower surface. The collector pedestal can be formed on a surface of a collector active region exposed within an opening extending through first and second overlying dielectric regions, where the opening defines vertically aligned edges of the first and second dielectric regions.
