An estimator estimates the body temperature of a subject from the temperatures of the inner corners of the eyes in the temperature information obtained from a measurement result of an infrared sensor. The infrared sensor two-dimensionally measures the distribution of infrared rays radiated from the surface of the face of the subject including the inner corners of the eyes of the subject, and the estimator obtains a temperature distribution from the data of the distribution of the light intensity of the infrared rays and identifies the inner corners of the eyes from the obtained temperature distribution to estimate the temperatures of the identified inner corners of the eyes as the body temperature. A corrector corrects the body temperature estimated by the estimator by the difference between the temperatures of the inner corners of the left and right eyes in the measurement result of the infrared sensor.

Body temperature estimation device

A first determination unit determines whether a movement of an eyelid or an eyebrow of a wearer has occurred, based on an electric signal measured by a first measurement electrode with a common electrode as a ground potential. A second determination unit determines whether a movement of a jaw of the wearer has occurred, based on an electric signal measured by a second measurement electrode with the common electrode as a ground potential. An output unit outputs a command due to operation of a spectacle frame by the wearer when the first determination unit determines that the movement of the eyelid or the eyebrow of the wearer has occurred and, at the same time, the second determination unit determines that the movement of the jaw of the wearer has occurred.

Information input device

A first determination unit determines that a movement of a face of a wearer has occurred, when a distortion detection unit detects distortion of the spectacle frame. The second determination unit determines whether a movement of a jaw of the wearer has occurred, based on an electric signal measured by a first temple tip electrode and a second temple tip electrode with a common electrode as a ground potential. An output unit outputs a command due to operation of the spectacle frame by the wearer when the first determination unit determines that the movement of the face of the wearer has occurred and at the same time the second determination unit determines that the movement of the jaw of the wearer has occurred.

A wearable device includes: a base to be worn on a head of a user; a first sensor that is provided to the base to be at a distance from a surface of the user's head and measures a first signal relating to a temperature of the surface of the user's head; an estimation circuit that estimates a body temperature of the user based on the first signal; and a display that presents the body temperature of the user estimated by the estimation circuit.

This system is for implementing a method for feeding of a granulated substance, and is provided with: a feeding path through which cut tobacco is fed toward a tobacco band in a cigarette manufacturing machine; a separation device for separating, by winnowing, the cut tobacco into good products and sub-standard products that are heavier than the good products, in the process of feeding the cut tobacco; an adjustment device that is capable of directly and/or indirectly adjusting the velocity of a current of air used for separation through winnowing; a transfer path which receives and transfers the sub-standard products discharged from the separation device; a weighing device which takes a sample of the sub-standard products being transferred on the transfer path and measures the weight of the sampled sub-standard products and outputs the weighing result; and a controller which, on the basis of the weighing result, controls the operation of the adjustment device so as to bring the sampling weight equal to a target value being the management standard.
