Biomagnetism measuring device
The objective of the present invention is to provide a biomagnetism measuring device capable of accurately detecting biomagnetism regardless of the object to be measured. This biomagnetism measuring device (1) is provided with: a plurality of magnetic sensors (11) which detect biomagnetism of a living body (100); a retaining portion (12) including retaining holes (12a) which retain the plurality of magnetic sensors (11) with freedom to move individually; and a movement mechanism which moves the magnetic sensors (11) individually in a contacting/separating direction causing the magnetic sensors (11) to come into contact with or separate from the living body (100). As movement mechanisms there may be mentioned, for example, a pneumatic/hydraulic mechanism (20), a resilient body mechanism (30), a screw mechanism (40) and a gear mechanism (50).

DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A SPRING FORCE EXERTED ON A SENSOR FOR OBTAINING BIO-CONDUCTANCE READINGS USING A LINEAR ACTUATOR
A probe device provides an enhanced bioelectric and spring-loaded sensing tip with an integrated force sensor. The probe device measures the bioelectric conductance value from a patient for therapeutic and/or diagnostic purpose using the spring-loaded sensing tip. In addition, the probe device measures the force applied by the spring-loaded sensing tip against the patient using the integrated force sensor. Using feedback from the force sensor and the bioconductive data of the patient, the force applied at the spring-loaded sensing tip may be adjusted to obtain improved results.
Electrode apparatus and measurement method thereof
An electrode apparatus is applicable on a skin with hair of a mammal for measuring an electrical bio-signal. The electrode apparatus comprises cylindrical chambers, each of which comprises a wall, which forms a cavity within the cylindrical chambers, a roof at a first end of each of said cylindrical chambers, a second end of said cylindrical chambers opposite to the first end being open, and at least one electrode. An elongated structure is located within each of the cylindrical chambers, and comprises a first portion parallel to a central axis of a cylindrical chamber within which it is. A first end of the elongated structure, the first end of the elongated structure belonging to the first portion, is attached to the roof. At least one second portion, each comprising a second end opposite to the first end, deviates from a direction of the central axis of a cylindrical chamber within which it is. The elongated structure rotatable in order to bundle hair when applied to the mammal so as to improve a contact of the electrode with the skin of the mammal.
