The object of this invention is to provide a relay unit and a housing for that unit to be used when a number of relay switches are installed side by side in a circuit to switch a power supply circuit on and off. A number of compartments are provided in a case with an open top such that one relay fits into each compartment. The relays are placed into these compartments, and a cover is fitted onto the open top of the case. Slits are provided along the upper edge of the case and/or in the cover, through which the connectors attached to the terminals of the various relays can pass. The cover is placed on top of the case with the connectors attached to the terminals of the various relays running through the various slits. With this invention, a number of relay switches are put into a single package (housing), thus making the relays easier to handle. The package makes it easier to mount and wire multiple relay switches. Because the positions of the connectors are controlled by the slits in the case, the connectors cannot rotate if they receive an accidental impact. This prevents accidental short circuits.

Housing for plural relay switches

In the present invention, an image is registered as a model image by setting a window after calculating a main axis angle of the model image stored in an image memory, the main axis angle being defined on a display screen, and then rotating the model image so that the main axis angle becomes a predetermined angle.

Model image registration method and apparatus therefor

A body electrode holder includes a holding member to be disposed on an outer surface of a living body, and a plurality of perforations formed in predetermined positions of the holding member, through which perforations a plurality of body electrodes pass respectively, the holding member being formed of a sheet material. The predetermined positions correspond to portions of the living body in which portions bioelectricity is to be measured. The body electrode holder makes it possible to a plurality of body electrodes at once and easily to predetermined positions without requiring special technic or knowledge regarding positions to attach the body electrodes.

An ambulatory electrocardiographic apparatus includes a main body which has a card mounting section for an IC memory card. The IC memory card can be inserted into the card mounting section and can be removed from the card mounting section. The IC memory card contains medical information relating to analyzing and detecting electrocardiographic signals related to the kind and condition of a disease of a patient who is being examined. The ambulatory electrocardiograph apparatus also has a control device and a display for providing a display of the signals from the IC memory card.

Disclosed is an electronic clinical thermometer comprising a temperature sensing unit, an arithmetic unit for calculating the body temperature from the signal from this temperature sensing unit, a display unit for displaying the body temperature converted in this arithmetic unit, a memory unit for sequentially updating and storing the measured body temperatures, and a means of calling the information in the memory unit and indicating in the display unit.

A display electrode arrangement for an electronic clinical thermometer includes two groups of segment electrodes and two groups of common electrodes, and a driving circuit for selectively driving segment signals and common signals. Each of the two groups of segment electrodes and common electrodes is operated to display only a '3' or a '4' in the Centigrade degrees, and a '9' or a '10' for the Fahrenheit degrees. Those numerals may be displayed by combining the displayed portions.

Display segment patterns of clinical thermometer

An electrical clinical thermometer comprises a thermometer for measuring a temperature value, a storage device for storing the previous temperature value, a detection device for detecting whether the previous temperature value is present, a display responsive to the detection device for displaying the previous temperature value if measured, or otherwise displaying that the previous temperature value was not measured, and a control device responsive to the thermometer for controlling the display to display the current temperature value in place of the previous temperature value in the case where the current temperature value is measured by the thermometer.

Clinical thermometer

An electronic clinical thermometer comprises a temperature sensing device for measuring actual temperature values, a prediction circuit responsive to the temperature sensing device for calculating a prediction temperature based on the actual temperature values, and an output control device for selectively outputting the actual temperature values or the prediction temperature value depending on the changes of the actual temperature values.
