The invention relates to Nozzle, comprising a liquid inlet channel (LIN) for water or other liquid, the liquid inlet channel having an exit mouth (LINM) for letting liquid out from the liquid inlet channel, a pressurized air inlet channel (AIN) having an exit mouth (AINM) for letting pressurized air out from the pressurized air inlet channel (AIN). In the invention the liquid inlet channel (LIN) and pressurized air inlet channel (AIN) are positioned in such way that the pressurized air inlet channel (AIN) at least partially surrounds the liquid inlet channel (LIN) so as to create mist from exiting liquid and exiting pressurized air.

The invention provides a heart rate monitor, a method and a computer software product. The method determines from the user's electrocardiogram a reference value of a heart rate variable characterizing the heart rate; determines at least one environmental parameter value obtainable from air pressure using air pressure measurement; associates the reference value of the heart rate variable with at least one environmental parameter value; and records in a register at least one environmental parameter value and the reference value of the heart rate variable associated with the at least one environmental parameter value.

Heart rate monitor, method and computer software product

A method of monitoring a human relaxation level and a user-operated heart rate monitor are provided. The user-operated heart rate monitor comprises a timing instant determining means for determining a plurality of heart beat timing instants from a user's electrocardiogram; a relaxation calculating means for calculating an instantaneous relaxation measure value by using the plurality of heart beat timing instants; a relaxation reference calculating means for generating a relaxation measure reference value by using a plurality of instantaneous relaxation measure values, each calculated over a different observation period; and a displaying means configured to display a reference pointer indicating graphically the relaxation measure reference value and further configured to display a relaxation pointer indicating graphically the instantaneous relaxation measure value relative to the reference pointer.

The invention relates to a method and device for weight management of humans. First, the user's initial weight and his target weight are received via a user interface of the device, then food intake amount and exercise instructions to be presented via the user interface of the device are generated on the basis of the difference between the user's initial weight and his target weight. In addition, the user's energy expenditure is generated with the device and the user's food intake amount is received via the user interface of the device. Further, the user's current weight is received via the user interface and a change in the user's weight is generated with the device. Further still, the food intake amount and/or exercise instructions to be presented via the user interface of the device are modified with the device on the basis of the change in the user's weight.

The invention relates to a sensor () placed on the skin, which can advantageously be integrated in a garment and has a contact layer in contact with the skin containing conductive fibres for receiving signals and a moisture retentive moisture layer () on top of the contact layer.

Sensor arrangeable on the skin

The invention relates to an arrangement for coding heart rate information, comprising means (A,B) for measuring a person's heart beat intervals and means for storing () the measured heart beat interval information. The arrangement comprises means () for coding the heart beat interval information stored in the storing means () into music, the coding means comprising means () for selecting the rhythm of the music on the basis of the measured heart beat intervals.

Coding heart rate information

The invention relates to a method and an electronic device for implementing the method for measuring mental load. The electronic device generates at least two different cognitively loading tasks for the person participating in the measurement, the first task determining a reference level and at least one other task determining the loading capacity level. The electronic device determines the pulse parameters of the person participating in the measurement during the cognitively loading tasks. The electronic device also compares the pulse parameters during the different tasks with each other. Finally, the electronic device generates a value descriptive of the mental load of the person participating in the measurement on the basis of the comparison of the pulse parameters.

Method and device for measuring stress

A method and arrangement for estimating a stress level dependent parameter on a person that measures a person's heart rate, calculates a derivative of the measured heart rate, and estimates a value for a stress level dependent parameter by using the calculated heart rate derivative.

Evaluation of exercise stress level dependent parameter

The invention relates to a portable personal data processing device, such as a wrist-worn measuring device, a heart rate monitor, a subscriber terminal of a radio system, or a sports watch. The device includes a temperature sensor for measuring the ambient temperature and a humidity sensor for measuring the ambient humidity. Furthermore, dependence information, which defines temperature values of the dew points corresponding to the humidity values, is stored in the device. The control unit is configured to monitor the change rate of the measured temperature, to determine, on the basis of the change rate, the moment at which the temperature reaches the temperature value of the dew point corresponding to the measured humidity on the basis of the dependence information, and to provide a forecast on fog appearance in relation to the moment employing the user interface.
