in fig1 , a capsule 1 has inlet and outlet holes on either end of the capsule . these holes allow fluid to flow into the capsule to be sampled by sensors . the capsule 1 is made of medical - grade polycarbonate , or any other suitable material , and is between approximately 16 mm and 41 mm long and between 6 mm and 16 mm in diameter . in fig2 , the horizontal section of the capsule is divided into five sections . bottom section 1 is filled with high - density materials to ensure the capsule lays flat with the bottom section on the bottom . density sensor section 2 houses density sensor . the density sensor measures the weight on the surface 2 a g 2 a . sample section 3 is for liquid to flow through . the volume of section 3 is fixed per capsule v 3 . the density of the liquid can be calculated as d = g 2 a / v 3 . calorie sensor section 4 houses glucose sensor . the glucose sensor measures sugar level in the liquid through surface 4 a . c 4 . calorie index ci is calculated as : ci = c 4 × d × 4 . weight sensor section 5 houses weight sensor . the weight sensor measures weight on the outside surface of the capsule 1 g 5 . the calorie index ci and the weight g 5 are both sent to receiver to be tracked . in fig3 , the vertical section of the capsule is divided into seven sections . sections 1 - 5 are described above . the transmitter section 6 houses a microprocessor 8 and a wireless transmitter 9 . the microprocessor 8 converts sensor data into digital data and the transmitter 9 transmits data wirelessly to be received by a receiver . the microprocessor 8 is a ad7817 processor , although any suitable processor could be used as an alternative . the storage section 7 hoses a data storage device . the microprocessor sends converted sensor data to the storage device . fig4 shows a circuit diagram for the capsule . the density sensor , glucose sensor , weight sensor , wireless transmitter and data storage devices are all connected to the microprocessor 8 . fig5 shows the steps that are followed when the capsule collects data and sends data . problem to be solved : to provide a calorie measurement device that prevents a value indicated in a calorie meter from slightly varying due to the influence of exhaust gas problem to be solved : to provide a calorie consumption measuring meter estimating the quality of an exercise and precisely measuring the calorie consumption . solution : this calorie consumption . . . in order to obtain calorie expenditure with good accuracy , the device is provided with a basal metabolic state specifying element ( 142 ) which specifies the subject &# 39 ; s basal metabolic state from his . . . disclosed is a calorie management apparatus for calculating and managing a calorie intake , comprising : an input unit ; a storage unit ; a display unit ; and a control unit . according to the present . . . purpose : to provide an apparatus for measuring a calorie , which can cause heat of chemical reaction to easily and rapidly disperse , and continuous measuring to be system for producing a stereoscopic image of an object , and displaying the stereoscopic image , the system including a capsule and a control unit , the capsule including a sensor assembly , a . . .
a capsule 1 is adapted to be ingestable by a human and comprises a density sensor , a sugar level sensor and a weight sensor for determining the calorie intake .
