  • Patent number: 7730744
    Abstract: A process for producing a high-quality glass from highly reactive raw materials and a glass-melting apparatus for use therewith, comprising the step of charging a material for the glass to a molten glass in a heated vessel, (1) wherein an oxidizing gas is bubbled in the molten glass and a glass raw material that behaves as a reducing agent during being melted is charged into a position of the bubbling or (2) said vessel is filled with a dry ambient gas and while the ambient gas is allowed to flow to a liquid surface of the molten glass along an charging route of the glass raw material, the glass raw material is charged.

  • Patent number: 7650564
    Abstract: A document editing system supports globally editing the tone of an entire Web page without individually working on a plurality of factors characterizing the general effect (tone) of a document file such as a Web page. Upon receipt of an input of an effect (tone) from a user, parameterization occurs for a style tone of a style of a document file, a vector tone of a vector image included in the document file and a raster tone of a raster image included in the document file. A style adjuster then adjusts the style tone, the vector tone and the raster tone in response to the tone input from the user, and a display device displays the document file including the adjusted vector image and the raster image and modified according to the adjusted style.

  • Publication number: 20060077494
    Abstract: A document editing system supports editing the tone of an entire Web page at one time without individually working on a plurality of factors characterizing the general effect (tone) of a document file such as a Web page. Upon receipt of an input of an effect (tone) from a user, parameterization occurs for a style tone of a style of a document file, a vector tone of a vector image included in the document file and a raster tone of a raster image included in the document file. A style adjuster then adjusts the style tone, the vector tone and the raster tone in response to the tone input from the user and a display device displays the document file including the adjusted vector image and the raster image and modified according to the adjusted style.
