Abstract: A server device has a processor that is configured to determine which unit system in a plurality of unit systems is a reference unit system of model data of an article, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire a feature dimension value used for the determination based on the model data; and determine the reference unit system based on a result obtained when the feature dimension value is defined according to each of the plurality of unit systems.

Abstract: A client receives an input of a new case, extracts a common framework corresponding to the new case from a common framework database, and extracts existing contents corresponding to the new case from an existing contents database. The client assigns the extracted existing contents to the extracted common framework to create an assignment by common framework table and then extracts application requirements regarding the new case according to the table.

Abstract: An improvement in an electro-optical device, such as a liquid-crystal panel, having a pair of substrates and an optical modulating substance disposed between the substrates, comprising hard gap controllers of a material which cannot be heat-bonded to the substrates and soft gap controllers of a material heat-bondable to the substrates being mutually dispersed in the optical modulating substance between the substrates. These gap controllers effectively prevent distortion of the cell and eliminate degradation of the display quality which may otherwise be caused due to generation of interference color.
