A display apparatus includes light emitting elements that are driven by current and a voltage control unit that controls a driving voltage for driving the light emitting elements based on a temperature of the display apparatus. The voltage control unit performs control such that an amount of change in the driving voltage per unit time does not exceed a predetermined limited range. The predetermined limited range is determined based on a relationship between the change in the driving voltage and a change in a light emission luminance of the light emitting elements.

An information processing apparatus includes a data generation unit to sequentially generate projection patterns. A projection unit projects a projection pattern onto a target object every frame. A trigger signal generation unit generates a trigger signal when it is detected that the projection pattern of the current frame, to be projected onto the target object, is different from the projection pattern of a previous frame. An imaging unit images the target object, onto which the projection pattern is projected, according to the trigger signal.

An electronic clinical thermometer capable of high-precision measurement within a shorter period of time. The electronic clinical thermometer for predicting an equilibrium temperature based on a temporal change in actual measurement value of a measurement target temperature detected by a temperature detection element includes a prediction value derivation unit which derives a plurality of prediction values from actual measurement values in accordance with a plurality of prediction equations, a selection unit which selects one of the plurality of prediction equations based on the selected prediction equation, and a display output which displays a prediction value result based on the selected prediction equation.

An electronic clinical thermometer which detects temperature of a measured part and determines equilibrium temperature by prediction calculation based on change of the detected temperature. One of classified temperature rise data groups is selected based on the change of the detected temperature and one of prediction equations and a set of prediction parameters are designated in accordance with the selected data group. The selected data group can be changed based on change of the detected temperature in a predetermined period after the selection of data group. Further, reliability of the measurement is judged based on the detected or predicted temperature and the predicted value can be corrected if the reliability is insufficient.

Electronic clinical thermometer

In a predicting-type electronic clinical thermometer, data acquired from a temperature sensor (51) at a very small time interval (.DELTA.t) is read in on a real-time basis, the data is converted into detected temperature (T) by means of a processor (9), the temperature is stored in a memory (7) and a temperature prediction is performed to obtain a predicted temperature (Tp). The rate of change (.DELTA.T/.DELTA.t) in the detected temperature is obtained based upon the detected temperature (T). The moment at which this rate of change attains a predetermined value is taken as an opportunity to check the temporal fluctuation of the predicted temperature within a fixed reference time range. If the predicted temperature is found to have stabilized, the temperature detection is terminated. If it has not stabilized, the temperature detection is continued. Thus, the process through which an allowable condition for a valid prediction was realized is investigated looking back a predetermined length of time from the moment at which the condition was realized, and the result of the investigation is applied when evaluating the validity of the prediction. As a result, a highly accurate temperature prediction can be performed even if the circumstances in which the thermometer is being used changes during temperature detection.
