A contactless power feeding system comprises a power feeding device and a movable device. The movable device is installed on a power feeding case of the power feeding device, and a liquid crystal TV (E) is installed on the movable device. The liquid crystal TV (E) can be arranged at a desired position on a wall (W) in a room (R) by moving the movable device along the power feeding case. The liquid crystal TV (E) can be arranged at a desired height by moving the liquid crystal TV (E) in the axial direction of a guide pipe provided on a power receiving case. The liquid crystal TV (E) can be directed in a desired direction by rotating the liquid crystal TV (E) around the guide pipe. The contactless power feeding system feeds power to the liquid crystal TV (E) via the power feeding device and the movable device.

A non-contact power supply system includes a power supply device and a power reception device. The power supply device includes primary coils arranged on a power supply surface and configured to be excited at an operational frequency. The power reception device includes a secondary coil configured to induce current using resonance phenomenon based on alternating flux from the primary coils when arranged on the power supply surface. The operational frequency that excites the primary coil is set at or in the proximity of a resonance frequency of a resonance system formed when the secondary coil is located at an intermediate position between two of the primary coils that are adjacent to each other.

Non-contact power supply system

A blood test apparatus having a simple constitution whereby stable measurement can be conducted by surely sampling the blood in an amount being small but sufficient for the test without placing too much burden on a patient. When a first skin contact sensor of this apparatus detects the skin, driving of a negative pressure unit is initiated. Thus, the skin rises and comes into contact with a second skin contact sensor. After piercing into the skin, the negative pressure supply is once ceased. Next, the negative pressure is applied again for a definite period of time. Thus, the opening in the skin is broadened, which facilitates the flow out of the blood.

Blood test apparatus and method of controlling the same

A blood inspection device capable of separately discharging a sensor and a filter by using a single discharger means. The blood inspection device has a housing provided with a circular hollow cylindrical body having an opening. A filter including a filter is provided inside the cylindrical body, and a sensor is provided outside the cylindrical body. A body of the discharger is slidable outside the cylindrical body. A first discharge section of the discharge comes into contact with the sensor unit to push out and discharge it. A second discharge section of the discharger comes into contact with the filter to push out and discharge it.

Blood inspection device

A blood test device using a laser as a puncture member. More specifically, in a blood test device using a laser as a puncture member, the skin can be fixed at a definite position by raising the punctured skin under negative pressure, and thus the skin is brought into close contact with a blood sensor and the laser is focused on the vicinity of the blood sensor face. Thus, it is possible to provide a blood test device of the laser puncture type in which the skin can be surely punctured while giving little pain to a patient.

Blood test device

A laser perforation device that has a simple structure and with which pain to a person in skin perforation is reduced. In the device, a laser beam emitted from a laser emitting device is branched into laser beam paths by splitters and mirrors and pierces skin by applying the split beams to the same position on the skin. Since the skin is pierced by a laser beam with a low output, pain to the person can be reduced.

Laser perforation device and laser perforation method

A blood sensor comprises a substrate, a spacer attached to the top of the substrate, a cover attached to the top of the spacer. A blood reservoir defined by a substrate hole formed in the substrate. A part of a spacer hole in the spacer and connected to the substrate hole, and a cover hole formed in the cover is connected to the spacer hole. A supply passage is defined by another part of the spacer hole that communicates with the blood reservoir portion, and detection electrodes are formed in the supply passage. The cover projects from the supply passage toward the inside of the blood reservoir portion farther than the substrate and the spacer.

Blood sensor and blood examining instrument including same

It is intended to provide a means of easily removing a portion of blood bleeding from pierced skin, which has not been taken into a blood sensor but remained on the skin, in a blood test with the use of a blood test apparatus. By using this means, it becomes unnecessary in the blood test to separately prepare a paper sheet, etc. for wiping off. More specifically speaking, a blood test apparatus wherein a blood sensor is provided within a blood sensor unit detachable to the blood test apparatus body and the blood sensor unit has a part to be in contact with the skin in the test and an absorption means. It is favorable that the part to be in contact with the skin in the test serves as the absorption means.

Blood test apparatus

A blood inspection device using laser as puncture means. The blood inspection device has an electric power source control circuit for controlling electric power supply of an electric power source section including an electric power source for driving an electric circuit for measurement and also including an electric power source for driving a laser emission device. When a battery is used as the electric power source, the circuit measures the remaining level and voltage of the battery to control the power source so that electric power shortage does not disenable measurement.

A blood test apparatus having a simple constitution whereby stable measurement can be conducted by surely sampling the blood in an amount being small but sufficient for the test without placing too much burden on a patient. When a first skin contact sensor of this apparatus detects the skin, driving of a negative pressure unit is initiated (time point). Thus, the skin rises and comes into contact with a second skin contact sensor (time point). After piercing into the skin at time point, the negative pressure supply is once ceased. Next, the negative pressure is applied again at time pointfor a definite period of time. Thus, the opening in the skin is broadened, which facilitates the flow out of the blood ().

A blood test apparatus wherein a blood collection needle and a blood sensor can be easily attached and detached so that a burden or pain of a patient can be relieved. More specifically speaking, a blood test apparatus wherein a holder, a lancet, a blood collection needle and a blood sensor are united together as a blood sampling cartridge that is detachably mounted to the apparatus body. When this blood sampling cartridge is attached, a plunger involved in the apparatus body holds the lancet and connectors involved in the apparatus body come into contact with the blood sensor. It is preferable that the contact points with the blood sensor of the individual connectors are located at intervals at the same angle centering on a definite point.
