Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sphygmomanometer of high reliability capable of automatically controlling measuring action. SOLUTION: A sphygmomanometer to take the maximum value and the minimum value of artery pressure, and record them is provided, and it is provided with a motion detecting and sorting means to generate an index for a current physical effort state that coincides with the indicated minimum and the maximum artery pressures, and a blood pressure control means to control execution of fuzzy logic processes for functions of the sphygmomanometer and the indicated values. A sensor for expansion of inner air pressure of an air compressing sleeve installed on an arm of a subject is used for detecting motion of the arm, and at least one second sensor for motion is fixed to the chest of the subject to be used.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an indirect measuring method of physical signal which is hard to be measured by direct method, and to ensure a reliable precise reading by measuring the value of a physical signal which is taken out from a physical signal to be monitored, and acting in the same manner as the physical signal to be monitored but having only a slight influence on the physical signal to be monitored. SOLUTION: Values of contraction stage, dilation stage and heart beat are judged. While air is slowly discharged from an armband through the pin of a secondary discharge block 9, a controller block 18 operates a first processor for executing a first rule set FUZZY1. Whether a heart beat is caused or not is transmitted by a signal. When the first heart beat is present, the control block 18 records the first pressure value corresponding to the value of the contraction stage pressure, and measure the heart beat. A value in an output converter block 7 is opened, and the armband is contracted at a high speed. When the value is closed, the first processor is operated again to detect the presence of heart beat. In the respective heart beats, the controller block 18 records the corresponding pressure values.

Abstract: A portable automatic system for acquisition and recording of information concerning the global motion activity of a subject during predetermined time interval comprises one or more motion sensors respectively placed on parts of the body of the subject under observation; an analog-to-digital converter associated with each sensor converting an analog signal generated by the sensor into digital data; a logic block for calculation of predefined parameters from successive sequences of said digital data; first fuzzy logic means processing said calculated parameters and storing corresponding fuzzy classification labels of the movement detected by each of said sensors during the same predetermined time interval; and second fuzzy logic processing means for classifying the global motion activity of the subject under observation with sets of fuzzy labels relative to the different motion sensors and a display presenting the subject's global motion activity in said interval.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for recognising and warning of the level of fullness of a waste container (5) in a suction system driven by a motor (3) and provided with an internal chamber (4) kept under suction pressure and comprising the waste container (5). The method foresees a measurement of the difference of pressure between the internal chamber (4) and the environment outside the vacuum cleaner and an elaboration of such measurement according to a set of rules in fuzzy logic for producing an electric warning signal corresponding to the filling level of the waste container (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for an indirect measure, by the application of fuzzy logic rules, of a physical signal (G1) to be monitored which would be difficult to measure by a direct method and which has at least first (PD) and second (PS) significant values, these significant values (PD,PS) splitting said physical signal (G1) to be monitored time-wise into a first operational zone (Z1) corresponding to values below the first significant value (PD), a second operational zone (Z2) corresponding to values between the first (PD) and second (PS) significant values, and a third operational zone (Z3) corresponding to values above the second significant value (PS), only said second operational zone (Z2) being involved by the presence of a periodic index signal related to the physical signal (G1) to be monitored. The measuring method of this invention comprises the steps of: obtaining a derived physical signal (G2) from the physical signal (G1) to be monitored, this derived physical signal (G2) having a similar behavior as said physical signal (G1) to be monitored but trivial influence thereon and being related to said periodic index signal; measuring the value (P) of the derived physical signal (G2) and its variations over time at suitably selected check points (CP1,CP2,CP3,...,CPn); deriving the presence or absence of the periodic index signal by means of a first set (FUZZY1) of fuzzy rules; measuring the second (PS) and first (PD) significant values of the physical signal (G1) to be monitored as start and end values, respectively, of the second operational zone (Z2), namely as values which correspond to the start and end of the detection of the periodic index signal presence. The invention also relates to an apparatus for an indirect measure, by the application of fuzzy logic rules, of a physical signal (G1) to be monitored which would be difficult to measure by a direct method, of a type which comprises a compressor block (2) having a first input (3) connected to an input actuator block (5), a first output (4) connected to an output transducer block (7), and a second output (14) connected to a detector block (12), the input actuator block (5), output transducer block (7) and detector block (12) being connected to a fuzzy controller (24). The measuring apparatus of this invention further comprises a secondary exhaust block (9) connected to the compressor block (2) and effective to produce a derived physical signal (G2) behaving similar as the physical signal to be monitored (G1) but having a trivial influence thereon, and being related to the periodic index signal. The fuzzy controller (24) of the measuring apparatus according to the invention ultimately measures the first and second significant values (PD,PS) of the physical signal (G1) to be monitored by acting on the derived physical signal (G2). The indirect measuring method and apparatus of this invention can be applied in particular to the non-invasive reading of blood pressure and heart beat frequency.
