  • Publication number: 20190299355
    Abstract: Provided is a block device that mounts a lens shape processing lens holder to a convex surface of a spectacle lens with two alignment reference marks for identifying a distance portion design reference point on a concave surface. The block device includes an imaging unit that images the alignment reference marks of the spectacle lens supported by a support unit from a convex surface side of the spectacle lens, an information processing unit that obtains expected imaged positions of the alignment reference marks imaged by the imaging unit, using information regarding the spectacle lens, when a posture of the spectacle lens supported by the support unit becomes a reference posture suitable for mounting the lens holder, and a display control unit that displays images of index marks indicating the expected imaged positions obtained in the information processing unit and images of the alignment reference marks.

  • Patent number: 9733490
    Abstract: A spectacle lens design system includes a first photographing apparatus having a first distance to the subject to photograph the subject and a second photographing apparatus having a second distance to the subject to photograph a visual target. The second distance is farther than first distance. The system determines a position of a subject's eye based on an image of the first photographing apparatus and tentatively calculates a position of the visual target based on an image photographed by second photographing apparatus. The system designs a shape of spectacle lens based on predetermined prescription information and calculated visual line information, where the visual line information is determined based on a determined position of eye and a position of the visual target moved in pseudo manner.

  • Patent number: 9346783
    Abstract: A method of producing an oxidized compound is disclosed. An electric potential is measured of an oxidation reaction solution for producing an oxidized compound by an oxidation reaction, and an end point is determined of the oxidation reaction on the basis of a predefined decrease of the electric potential. Preferably, after the electric potential of the oxidation reaction solution is reached to a highest electric potential, a point is determined where the amount of an electric potential dropped from the highest electric potential reaches the predefined amount of an electric potential as the end point of the oxidation reaction. The method also may introduce an oxidation reaction terminating agent to the oxidation reaction solution immediately after determining the end point of the oxidation reaction.
