This abstract describes a device that can acquire biological information from a living body. The device consists of two parts: a biometric sensor part that detects biological information and a living-body wearable part that allows the sensor to be in contact with the body. There is also a main body part that processes the biological information and supplies power through a battery. The biometric sensor part can be replaced and separated from the main body part. When the sensor part is worn on the body, the main body part is detachably attached to it without coming into contact with the body.

The abstract describes a circuit configuration that includes a storage element, a transistor, and a control circuit. The storage element is connected in series between the ground and a power supply terminal. The first transistor is also connected in series with the storage element between the power supply terminal and the ground.
 
 
The first control circuit is responsible for supplying a control voltage to the gate of the first transistor through the storage element. The control voltage has two different voltage values depending on the voltage of the power supply.
 
 
When the power supply voltage is at a specific value that is intended to change the resistance value of the storage element, the first control circuit supplies the gate of the first transistor with a control voltage having a first voltage value.
 
 
On the other hand, when the power supply voltage is at a different specific value that is meant for reading out the resistance value of the storage element, the first control circuit supplies the gate of the first transistor with a control voltage having a second voltage value. This second voltage value has a greater absolute value compared to the first voltage value.

A radio frequency module includes a mounting substrate, a first electronic component and a second electronic component, a metal member, a first metal layer, a resin layer, and a second metal layer. The metal member is disposed between the first electronic component and the second electronic component on a first main surface of the mounting substrate. The first metal layer is disposed on the first main surface of the mounting substrate. The second metal layer covers at least a part of the resin layer. The first metal layer has a ground potential, and is in contact with the second metal layer. The metal member is in contact with the first metal layer and the second metal layer.

'''Brief explanation'''
 
The abstract describes a radio-frequency module that has been designed to improve detection accuracy while reducing its size. The module includes an antenna terminal, signal input and output terminals, a mounting substrate, a chip inductor, and a directional coupler. The chip inductor is mounted on one side of the mounting substrate and is used in either the transmitting path or the receiving path between the antenna terminal and the signal input/output terminals. The directional coupler is mounted on the other side of the substrate and is partially used in the transmitting path.
 
 
'''Abstract'''
 
Detection accuracy is improved with a reduced size. A radio-frequency module includes an antenna terminal, a signal input terminal, a signal output terminal, a mounting substrate, a chip inductor, and a directional coupler. The mounting substrate has a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to each other. The chip inductor is mounted on the first major surface of the mounting substrate. The chip inductor is provided in at least one of a transmitting path between the antenna terminal and the signal input terminal and a receiving path between the antenna terminal and the signal output terminal. The directional coupler is mounted on the second major surface of the mounting substrate, and at least part of the directional coupler is provided in the transmitting path.

'''Brief explanation'''
 
The abstract describes an electronic component package that consists of a base tape with recesses. Inside each recess, there is a protrusion that can come into contact with an electronic component placed inside the recess. The electronic component itself is a multilayer body with a shape similar to a rectangular box, and it has external electrodes on both of its end surfaces.
 
 
'''Abstract'''
 
An electronic component package includes a base tape including recesses. On an inner surface of each of the recesses, a protrusion that can abut an electronic component inside of the recess is provided. The electronic component includes a multilayer body having a parallelepiped or substantially parallelepiped shape and an external electrode on each of two end surfaces of the multilayer body.
