  • Patent number: 11960836
    Abstract: An index value assignment device comprises: a selection unit that prompts a user to select, from a sentence, one or more words that the user feels to have a same degree of a predetermined index value with respect to one or more first words for which the index value is known; a validation unit that validates the selection result by the user on a basis of the index value of a second word for which the index value is known from among the one or more words included in the selection result; and a determination unit that determines the index value with respect to a third word for which the index value is unknown from among the one or more words selected by the user, on a basis of the index value of the first word according to the selection result for which the selection result is determined to be valid. Consequently, the efficiency of assigning word familiarity is increased.

  • Patent number: 10019914
    Abstract: A technical problem of this invention is to create in-mold labels that can be adhered to wide areas, including 3D curved areas, of the peripheral wall of a synthetic resin container in a high-grade state without air entrapment and/or wrinkling. A principal means of this invention to solve the technical problem described above is in-mold labels used as an inserted material and adhered to the outer peripheral wall of a container main-body concurrently when the main body is being molded, said labels including an adhesive layer to be adhered to the outer peripheral wall of the container main-body, wherein this adhesive layer has depressed portions on a back surface thereof, the depressed portions being formed by embossing and being disposed in a regular pattern.
