PCT No. PCT/JP97/02029 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 9, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 9, 1998 PCT Filed Jun. 12, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/47239 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 18, 1997In order to obtain calorie expenditure with good accuracy, the device is provided with a basal metabolic state specifying element (142) which specifies the subject's basal metabolic state from his body temperature; a correlation storing element (151) which stores respective regression formulas showing the correlation between the pulse rate and the calorie expenditure when the subject is at rest or active; a correlation correcting element (152) which correcting the stored regression formulas using the basal metabolic state; a body motion determining element (104) which determines whether or not the subject is at rest; and a regression formula selecting element (153) which selects the regression formula which should be used in accordance with the results of this determination. The subject's pulse rate is applied in the selected regression formula, and the calorie expenditure corresponding to this pulse rate is calculated by calorie expenditure calculator (162).

Tracking forms allow tracking of the completion status and implemented quality standards of a building construction project. A tracking form is prepared for one or more tasks requiring completion at the construction site. Each task is assigned two components on its tracking form: a quality control indicator form, which contains one or more quality control indicators indicating whether certain quality standards are met; and a completion indicator, which indicates the completion status of a task. The completion status may be a discrete binary value, or may instead be a continuous value. Preferably, the workers performing the tasks complete each task's quality control indicator form and completion indicator during design and construction as milestones relating to the task are completed, or at the end of some predetermined time period. The completion indicators relating to the tasks are logged so that the completion status of the project may be monitored, and the information recorded on the quality control indicator forms may be sampled and checked to verify that construction quality standards are being met.

The present invention provides a screw tightening diagnostic device which can easily and reliably detect a state of incomplete screw tightening and can allow reliable screw tightening work to be performed. The screw tightening diagnostic device comprises rotational torque detection means for detecting that rotational torque occurring in a rotating shaft of an electric driver has reached a preset rotational torque within a predetermined time range past a minimum required screw-tightening time that has been set in advance according to the length of the screw being tightened, pressure force detection means for detecting that pressure force created by the electric driver pressing the screw when the screw is being tightened has reached a preset pressure force, and screw tightening diagnostic means for diagnosing that screw tightening has been performed in a normal manner when the rotational torque detection means detects that the preset rotational torque has been reached within the predetermined time range past the minimum required time and the pressure force detection means has detected the preset pressure force.

An imaging apparatus and process for inspecting polymeric film seals and folds. Incident light is applied to the package to cause either reflected or transmitted light to reflect a pass through the poly wrap. The wrap affects the transmitted or reflected image in a manner which can be analyzed to determine the quality of the poly film application.

A 3D ultrasound imaging device including an ultrasound probe assembly and echo analyzer. The ultrasound probe assembly includes a housing and an acoustic window abutted against the housing to form a sealed chamber, wherein the surface of the acoustic window contacts with the breast of the human body to be examined; an ultrasound transducer moves at a first speed back and forth within the sealed chamber and performs high-speed pre-scanning through the acoustic window to obtain initial ultrasound signals; the echo analyzer analyzes the initial ultrasound signals to determine a quality of a ultrasound image acquired by the high speed pre-scanning; and the ultrasound transducer then moves at a second speed to perform another scan to acquire new ultrasound signals. A 3D ultrasound imaging method is also disclosed.

A system and method are provided for automatically shutting off or reducing power to certain radios in a client device based on collected wireless network quality parameters. The wireless network quality parameters are collected from wireless networks by various client devices in communication with the wireless networks. The client devices report the wireless network quality parameters to a server. The server collects wireless network quality parameters from a plurality of client devices and analyses the wireless network quality parameters from the plurality of client devices to determine a network quality for the particular wireless networks. The network quality is stored in a network quality database maintained by the server. When it is determined that a device is in an area of weak signal coverage, power to its radio is automatically reduced or shut off until the device leaves the area.

A self-test method of a flash memory device includes: generating input data; encoding the input data to generate an error correction code; utilizing the input data and the error correction code to simulate to read a page of a flash memory of the flash memory device to generate soft information; and decoding the soft information to generate a decoding result.

A system for data extraction, processing, and management across multiple communication mediums is provided, comprising a connector service configured to create a first dataset from a client, user, or external service provider; a data monitor and extractor configured to create a second dataset by extracting data regarding the data of interest from other and external sources; a knowledge graph constructor configured to compile the first and second datasets into a graph and timeseries-based third dataset; and a data analysis service configured to process and analyze the third dataset to determine a performance rating of the data of interest from the client, user, or external service provider.
