  • Patent number: 10617301
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device and an information processing method capable of facilitating fixed-point observation on skin condition. The information processing device acquires an image that shows a predetermined feature point of a user who is a measurer of skin condition, and a measurement portion of skin condition, and analyzes the image, and then recognizes a position of the feature point. Furthermore, information indicating the measurement portion is displayed at a predetermined position on the image while setting, as a reference, the recognized position of the feature point. The present technology is applicable to information processing devices such as a tablet terminal, a smartphone, and a personal computer.

  • Publication number: 20120058563
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of recombinant microorganisms, in particular of the genus Gluconobacter, for production of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2-KGA) and/or L-ascorbic acid (hereinafter also referred to as Vitamin C), wherein the microorganism has been modified to overexpress L-sorbose dehydrogenase (SDH). This overexpression has been achieved by introducing of one or more copies of a polynucleotide encoding SDH into the genome of the host microorganism resulting in enhanced yield, production, and/or efficiency of 2-KGA production and/or Vitamin C compared to a non-modified microorganism. Expression of said one or more extra-copies of sdh is dependent on the integration site. The invention also relates to genetically engineered microorganisms and their use for the production of 2-KGA and/or Vitamin C.

  • Patent number: 7247380
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a laminated phase retarder film that is superior in evenness, exhibits a biaxial optical property as a whole, and makes it possible to set the biaxial optical property over a wide range. This object is achieved by a laminated phase retarder film comprising a transparent resin film as a substrate and at least one coat layer having a refractive-index anisotropy laminated on at least one surface of the substrate, wherein a in-plane retardation value (R0) is not less than 20 nm, a retardation value (R?) in the film-thickness direction, which is calculated from a retardation value (R40) measured by inclining by 40 degrees around the slow axis of the film and the in-plane retardation value (R0), is greater than 40 nm.

  • Publication number: 20040252264
    Abstract: The present invention provides a polarizer having retarder, which has excellent uniformity and biaxial orientation as a whole, further capable of setting a wide range of optical characteristics of biaxial orientation, and provides a liquid crystal apparatus, to which the polarizer having retarder is applied. The polarizer having retarder comprises a polarizing film; and a phase retarder, which includes a substrate of a transparent film and at least one coat layer with birefringent anisotropy being on at least one surface of the substrate. The in-plane retardation value (R0) of the retarder is not less than 20 nm, and the retardation value along the thickness direction (R′) calculated based on the retardation value (R40) measured by inclining by 40° around the slow axis in the plane and the in-plane retardation value (R0) is more than 40 nm. The liquid crystal apparatus includes the polarizer having retarder combined with a liquid crystal cell.
