Using a biosensor including a flow path into which blood containing a target is introduced, an upstream electrode pair disposed in the flow path and having a reagent reacting with the target disposed on either of the electrodes, and a downstream electrode pair disposed at a downstream side of the flow path; the method includes a first detection step of detecting a first introduction of blood as far as the upstream electrode pair; a second detection step of detecting a second introduction of blood as far as the downstream electrode pair; a time measurement step of measuring a time difference from the first introduction to the second introduction; and a measurement step of acquiring the value related to the target based on the time difference by using any two electrodes among the upstream and downstream electrode pair after the second introduction is detected.

Measurement method and measurement apparatus

A measuring apparatus includes: a measuring unit to measure a signal value corresponding to a concentration of a specified substance of a first sample; an acquiring unit to acquire a reference value pertaining to the specified substance of a second sample; a calculating unit to calculate a concentration value of the specified substance of the first sample, based on the signal value and the reference value; a timing determination unit to determine timing for calibrating the reference value when satisfying at least one of a first condition that an activity status of a user is a predetermined status and a second condition that a variation in the concentration value of the specified substance of the first sample is equal to or smaller than a threshold value; and an input request unit to request the user to input the reference value at the determined timing.

Measuring apparatus, computer readable medium storing measuring program and measuring method

Provided is a blood measuring apparatus including: a spectroscope; an optical system configured to irradiate a living body with excitation light from a light source, and to guide, to the spectroscope, Raman scattered light from the living body; a control unit configured to adjust an irradiation position at which the living body is irradiated with the excitation light by the optical system; and a detector configured to detect a spectrum of the Raman scattered light using light of each wavelength dispersed by the spectroscope. A plurality of the spectra detected by the detector are integrated, and numerical value information regarding a substance included in blood of the living body is measured based on an integration result, and the control unit adjusts the irradiation position such that the plurality of spectra are detected at changed positions.

Blood measuring apparatus using spectroscope

An data processing systemincludes: an integral partwhich integrates, by two mutually different times, light intensities indicating light intensity signals outputted from light detectorsrespectively provided for detecting intensities of scattered light and transmitted light generated by irradiating a sample powder S with light and then outputs each of the integrated values; an actuator control partwhich generates and outputs a control signal for a vibration actuatorwhich drops the sample powder S stored in a sample housing so that one of the integrated values of light intensity outputted from the integral partbecomes closer to a set value previously defined; and a particle size distribution calculation partwhich calculates the particle size distribution of the sample powder S based on another of the integrated values of light intensity outputted from the integral part

Particle size distribution analyzer

An electronic equipment such as a proximity sensor. A groove for discharging air is formed at coil casing ( ) arranged at a front surface of the proximity sensor. An opening ( ) is formed at a clamp portion ( ) holding a code ( ) behind a metal casing ( ). The proximity sensor ( ) is held at a low pressure, and resin is supplied through the opening ( ) at the clamp portion ( ), whereby the casing can be filled with the resin in a short time.
