A biometric information display apparatus (30) for displaying a measurement result obtained by measuring a biometric signal, includes a maximum value calculation unit (63) configured to calculate a maximum value of the measurement result in a certain period of time for at least one of blocks into which a measurement area, in which the biometric signal is measured, is divided, a determination unit (64) configured to determine whether a measurement value in the at least one of blocks is greater than or equal to a threshold value obtained by multiplying the maximum value by a fractional value, the fractional value being determined in advance, and a display control unit configured to display, in response to an occurrence of an event in which the measurement value is determined to be greater than or equal to the threshold value, the measurement result in such a manner as to indicate the occurrence of the event.

The invention provides a magnetic inductive sensing device (30) comprising a loop antenna (10) for inductively coupling with electromagnetic (EM) signals emitted from a medium in response to stimulation of the medium with electromagnetic excitation signals. The device includes an electromagnetic shield (36) element which is arranged such as to intercept electromagnetic signals travelling to or from the antenna. The shield element is formed of conductive material such as to block electrical field components of incident signals but further incorporates a non-conductive gap in the material so as to prevent the formation of eddy currents. A loop of the antenna is broken by an opening, the opening being bridged by a capacitor, and the device comprises a signal processing means which is electrically coupled to the antenna via only a single point of the antenna, located to one side of the opening.

The present disclosure provides a biomagnetic field sensor system for diagnostic evaluation of a cardiac condition of an individual. The biomagnetic field sensor system may comprise an array of biomagnetic field sensors configured to sense an electromagnetic field associated with a heart of the individual and generate electromagnetic field data therefrom; a computer processor coupled to the array of biomagnetic field sensors; a memory configured to store the electromagnetic field data generated by the array of biomagnetic field sensors; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program including instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the computer processor to receive the electromagnetic field data, and generate a diagnostic evaluation of a cardiac condition of the individual based at least in part on an analysis of the electromagnetic field data.

A measurement apparatus is provided, which includes a magnetic sensor array formed by three-dimensionally arranging a plurality of magnetic sensor cells each including a magnetic sensor, and capable of detecting an input magnetic field in three axial directions; a measurement data acquiring section that acquires a plurality of measurement values based on the input magnetic field detected by the magnetic sensor array; a magnetic field calculating section that calculates the input magnetic field based on the measurement values; an error calculating section that calculates a detection error of the input magnetic field, based on the plurality of measurement values and a calculation result obtained by calculating the input magnetic field; and a measurement data selecting section that selects a plurality of measurement values to be used for calculating the input magnetic field by the magnetic field calculating section, from among the plurality of measurement values, based on the detection error.

A system is provided for displaying heart graphic information relating to sources and source locations of a heart disorder to assist in evaluation of the heart disorder. A heart graphic display system provides an intra-cardiogram similarity (“ICS”) graphic and a source location (“SL”) graphic. The ICS graphic includes a grid with the x-axis and y-axis representing patient cycles of a patient cardiogram with the intersections of the patient cycle identifiers indicating similarity between the patient cycles. The SL graphic provides a representation of a heart with source locations indicated. The source locations are identified based on similarity of a patient cycle to library cycles of a library cardiogram of a library of cardiograms.
