  • Patent number: 8978910
    Abstract: A technical problem of this invention especially in the case of large-size bottles is to form a grip, without changing the bottle shape to a large extent, so that the body can be firmly held. The object of this invention is to provide a synthetic resin square bottle that can be used reliably because the bottle can be held firmly with a hand. A major means of solving the problem is a synthetic resin square bottle comprising a body having a rectangular shape in a plane cross-section and a groove-like waist portion disposed at a middle height of the bottle, wherein a pair of recessed portions for use as finger stops are formed in respective long side walls of said rectangular body over a predetermined area ranging from said waist portion downward to ensure that a plural number of fingers can be placed in at least one recessed portion for a finger stop purpose, and wherein a grip for holding the bottle is formed from both the pair of recessed portions and the waist portion.

  • Patent number: 8761567
    Abstract: A moving image reproducer includes a generation section, a calculation section, a determination section, a correction section and a control section. The generation section generates an interpolation frame image interpolating between two adjacent frame images among a plurality of frame images. The calculation section sequentially calculates a progress level of a predetermined musical piece between the two adjacent frame images reproduced in synchronization with the predetermined musical piece. The determination section determines whether the progress level has varied along with a change in a tempo of the predetermined musical piece defined in the tempo information. The correction section corrects the progress level so as to reduce the variation in the progress level along with the change in the tempo if the progress level is determined to have varied. The control section controls the generation section to generate an interpolation frame image corresponding to the corrected progress level.

  • Patent number: 8633994
    Abstract: When a displacement between a reference frame of a plurality of images acquired by continuous image pickup and a target frame is less than a first threshold indicating that such a frame is not likely to be affected by occlusion, smoothing is performed on an object area through a morphological operation with a normal process amount. Conversely, when a displacement between the reference frame of the plurality of images acquired by continuous image pickup and a target frame is larger than or equal to the first threshold, smoothing is performed with the process amount of morphological operation being increased with respect to the normal process amount.
