(US5640965-A)      A pulsimeter comprising:    pulse detecting means for detecting pulses of a human body;    pulse cumulating means for cumulating a number of said detected pulses (CPLS) to produce a cumulated number of said detected pulses, within a predetermined time from said start of counting;    display means for indicating said (cumulating) cumulated number of said detected within said predetermined lime;    pulse rate calculating means for calculating a pulse rate (AVP) based on said cumulated number of said detected pulses;    consumed calorie calculating means for calculating the consumed calories per constant time on the basis of said calculated pulse rate;    consumed calorie cumulating means for cumulating said calculated consumed calories during said predetermined time from the start of counting, at the time of counting;    said display means also indicating said cumulated consumed calories warning means providing a warning, characterized in that    said warning means provides a warning for every lapse of said predetermined time from the start of counting, thus providing a continuous record of pulse rate and wherein    time setting means are provided for setting said predetermined time.    (EP559203-B1)      The pulsimeter has an earlobe sensor for detecting pulses. The number of pulses detected is counted during a prescribed period. The number and time are displayed. Pulse rate is calculated based on the number of detected pulses. Calories consumed is calculated per constant time on the basis of pulse rate.    Cumulated calorie consumption is calculated and displayed along with time. The pulsimeter can have a predetermined time set. A warning is given at every lapse of the predetermined time. A memory stores cumulated pulses and calories consumed every predetermined time.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   For calculating average pulse rate and amount of consumed energy. Allows proper evaluation of amount of exercise from start of counting at time of counting.    mb
