Only the pulleys for the load weights connected to the load weights selected to attain a prescribed load are connected to the main shaft 2. A pulley 20 for load transmission is fixed to the end part of the main shaft 2, the base end of a load transmitting cable body 21 is fixed to the pulley 20 for the load transmission and it is wound.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To precisely detect the presence or absence of liquid inside a tube regardless of the extremely thin tube having a minute inner diameter. SOLUTION: A transparent tube 4 is positioned between a light-emitting element 2 and a light receiving element 3. Additionally, the light-emitting element 2 and the light receiving element 3 are arranged on a straight line for orthogonally crossing the axis of the transparent tube 4. Further, convex lenses 5, 6 are arranged between the light-emitting element 2 and the transparent tube 4, and between the light transparent tube and the light receiving element 3. Light from the light-emitting element 2 is narrowed by the convex lens 5 to enter the transparent tube 4. A change in a focal distance by the difference of the refractive index between liquid and gas in the transparent tube 4 by the convex lens 6 is re-focused. A pin-hole member 7 is arranged between the light receiving element 3 and the convex lens 6, so that light strikes the light receiving element 3 via the hole 7a. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical waveguide type surface plasmon resonance sensor for measuring a refractive index peculiar to a sample by using an optical waveguide, or a change in the refractive index with high sensitivity, and to provide a surface plasmon resonance measuring apparatus and a surface plasmon resonance measuring method. SOLUTION: The optical waveguide type surface plasmon resonance sensor is formed by laminating a slab type waveguide made of a slab type transparent substrate, where a metal thin film is formed, and a channel housing having a sample channel formed so that the sample passes on the metal thin film at least in the slab type waveguide. In the optical waveguide type surface plasmon resonance sensor, a surface plasmon resonance phenomenon is generated in the metal thin film in a process, where light is repeatedly totally reflected for propagation in the slab type waveguide. In the resonance sensor, the slab type waveguide has a higher refractive index that the channel housing, a measuring region passing on the metal thin film in the sample channel is arranged along the propagation direction of light propagated in the slab type waveguide, and the width of the measuring region is made wider than rays entering the slab type waveguide.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a training device capable of alleviating pain, which can set a location at which the trainee starts to move part of the body at the time of unstiffening training, differently depending on individual trainees. SOLUTION: The trainee is seated on a saddle 2 of a training device body 1 and performs exercise by horizontally moving the arm inward and outward. Then the trainee turns the arm in a direction in which he or she feels a pain, and then returns the arm to a location where the trainee feels no pain while a predetermined load is applied to a tool 4, thereby determining an initial location. Then the trainee moves the arm form the initial location to a location of a base point at which he or she feels no pain at all. The load applied to the tool 4 into which the arm is fitted is set to a maximum value in a first stage, but after the lapse of a predetermined time period, the maximum load is damped on a basis of a quadratic curve. Then the tool 4 which has returned to the base point is automatically returned to the initial point. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
