    摘要: Acoustic impulses from a muscle are converted into an electrical signal with a transducer such as a piezo film microphone, and analog or digital signal processing circuitry determines the density of self-similar spectral components of the signal and generating an output signal representative of the contractile force of the muscle based upon the density of the self-similar spectral components. The circuitry is used to determine self-similar spectral components of the signal and the density of those components, and the density is used to provide an output signal filtering. Different embodiments use combinations of filtering, Fourier analysis and correlation or auto-correlation. The self-similar spectral components may be pre-determined or determined through signal processing. The output signal may be used to calculate muscle contractile force, fatigue or other muscle conditions.

    摘要: A method of identification of a living body is provided. The method comprises steps of detecting an electromagnetic wave in a frequency band ranging from 300 GHz to 30 THz transmitted from the living body, extracting plural kinds of information from the detected electromagnetic wave, and deriving therefrom information on the living body and information inherent to the living body, and comparing the information on the living body and the information inherent to the living body with preliminarily memorized information. This method identifies an individual living body with improved real-time detectableness and higher security to prevent illegal pretension.
