20090052056 | OPTICAL ELEMENT MOLDING METHOD AND OPTICAL ELEMENT - A molding material is heated and pressed plural times when molded is an optical element having a radius of curvature smaller than a radius of a sphere having the same volume as the optical element.

However, since the molding material is molded plural times, it is possible to place the molding materials on the transfer surfaces of the molds after a size of the closed space is adjusted so as not to generate the appearance defect prior to each heating/pressing process. Thereby, it is possible to suppress generation of an appearance defect in the molded optical element. | 02-26-2009 |

Therefore, it is possible to reduce a load of the molding process while preventing an appearance defect of the optical element by applying just a single cycle of a placing process, a transferring (heating and pressing) process and a cooling process. | 02-26-2009 |

20100100012 | ACTIVITY INTENSITY MEASUREMENT DEVICE - An activity intensity measurement device comprises an accelerator, a sampling means, a representative value calculation means, a sampling means, a representative value calculation means, and an activity intensity determination means. The sampling means is configured to sample discrete values from the detected acceleration. The representative value calculation means is configured to calculate the representative value from the discrete values of a plurality of the acceleration. The activity intensity determination means is configured to determine the activity intensity on the basis of the calculated representative value. The representative value calculation means is configured to calculate the representative value at intervals of unit period corresponding to the user's particular activity. Consequently, all of the user's particular activity is reflected to the representative value. Therefore, this activity intensity measurement device is configured to calculate exact activity intensity. | 04-22-2010 |
20100130890 | ACTIVITY MEASUREMENT SYSTEM - An activity measurement system gives, based upon consecutively measured activity intensities, an exercise index (EX) indicative of energetic exercise and a daily activity index (DA) indicative of a routine living activity within a predetermined measurement time period, and display an activity element A (x, y), a combination of these indexes within an X-Y matrix plane. The exercise index (EX) is calculated at a first operation means as a sum of a product of the activity intensity exceeds a predetermined reference and a time period during which the activity intensity exceeds the reference, within the measurement time period. The daily activity index (DA) is calculated at a second operation means as a caloric consumption divided by a basal metabolic rate of a user within the measurement time period. The caloric consumption is determined a function of the activity intensity per unit time below the reference and data indicative of physical characteristics of the user. The basal metabolic rate is calculated based upon the data of the physical characteristics which are stored in a personal information data table provided in the system. | 05-27-2010 |
