There are provided a monitor for monitoring a human condition of a driver, and an awakening device for awakening a driver, which starts operation when received a predictive signal for fall-asleep being a signal for energy metabolism transition from an active state into a sleep state. The awakening device is structured to stimulate a pressure sense of the driver by reclining a seat back of a driver seat forward or rearward to thereby cause a shift force. Accordingly, without regard to an alarm reaction level to an alarm sound, it is possible to stimulate the driver and whereby awaken the driver more surely.

Driver seat system and awakening device

A human condition evaluation system, of which bio-signal analysis means includes a bio-signal peak value detection means for detecting a peak value for each cycle of an original waveform of a bio-signal data, and a power value calculation means for calculating a difference between the peak value at an upper limit side and the peak value at a lower limit side for every prescribed time range using respective peak values obtained by the bio-signal peak value detection means to thereby set the difference as a power value, is structured to determine a predictive signal for falling asleep from an active state into a sleep state. Different from conventional human condition evalution based simply on a Lyapunov exponent as an indicator, a new human condition evaluation system based on a functional status of an energy generation system of the living body is provided.

A toy for pets, which is designed to encourage sedentary pets to exercise by attracting them to the chaotic movement of a movable object, is provided. The toy for animals includes a rotating unit, which is provided so as to allow the axis of rotation to be angled with respect to the vertical direction; a first rod having a base portion connected coaxially with the axis of rotation and a tip portion bent with respect to the base portion; a second rod, which is connected to the tip portion of the first rod and has enough flexibility to be deflected from the longitudinal direction; and a movable object mounted to the tip of the second rod with a string material. The movable object is moved chaotically in the vertical and horizontal directions within a three-dimensional space around the rotating unit by chaotically rotating the axis of rotation of the rotating unit in an arbitrary rotating direction.
