Patent number: 9685143Abstract: A display control device for displaying content, the representation form of which is changeable by a user's operation on a display screen, on a display screen is provided. The display control device includes an operation acquisition unit configured to acquire a change instruction to change the representation form of the content and an image changing unit configured to distort the representation form of the content, in response to a change instruction which instructs to change the representation form of the content beyond a threshold value, to be different from the representation form as instructed. Thus, the display control device facilitates the user to recognize the threshold for change when the representation form of the content is changed by zooming in, zooming out, scrolling the content and the like.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Haruko Sato, Shinya Takeichi

Patent number: 8475424Abstract: The disposable pull-on garment has a longitudinal centerline, a front region, a crotch region, and a back region. The front and back regions are joined at seams to form a waist opening and leg openings. The pull-on garment comprises a main portion, a side portion, and a waist portion. The side portion is disposed transversely outboard of the main portion. The waist portion comprises a center waist portion, an outer side waist portion, and an inner side waist portion. The contraction rate of the inner side waist portion is less than that of the center waist portion, and the contraction rate of the side portion longitudinally inboard of the inner side waist portion is greater than that of the inner side waist portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2007Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Kenji Fujimoto, Haruko Sato, Masato Higaki, Toshiyuki Matsuda, Hiroshi Nakahata
