  • Patent number: 9402426
    Abstract: Patterns for bodies and sleeves are devised to reduce the pull of the bodies from the sleeves when an arm is moved up, down, forward and backward. In an upper garment 1, portions 67 and 87 to be sewn to a first sewing reference position 6 on a front body 2 in a front portion to be sewn 54 in a front sleeve portion 51 project toward the front body 2 relative to a shoulder point SP, and project toward the front body 2 relative to a boundary point 65 between the front portion to be sewn 54 and the first end portion to be sewn 6, and portions 72 and 89 to be sewn to a second sewing reference position 12 on a back body 3 in a back portion to be sewn 55 in a back sleeve portion 52 project toward the back body 3 relative to the shoulder point SP, and project toward the back body 3 relative to a boundary point 70 between the back portion to be sewn 55 and the second end portion to be sewn 12.

  • Patent number: 7613588
    Abstract: A shoe shape selection method selects an appropriate shoe shape from a plurality of kinds of shoe shapes prepared beforehand, based on a plurality of items of data on a customer. The plurality of data items include the foot length of the customer, the foot girth of the customer and the difference between the lengths of the first and second toes of the customer.

  • Patent number: 7325323
    Abstract: In a foot inclination angle measuring method of the present application, the shape of a foot 10 is measured in three dimensions. And, based on three-dimensional data on the measured shape of the foot 10, a two-dimensional cross section 30 of the foot 10 orienting in a front-rear direction, which includes a cross section of a heel of the foot 10, is obtained. Then, a central line C1 of the two-dimensional cross section 30 in a right-left direction is obtained and the angle of inward/outward inclination of the foot 10 is obtained from the angle of inclination (a) of the central line C1.

  • Patent number: 6221931
    Abstract: A dental restorative composition is disclosed, comprising: (a) a methacrylate or acrylate monomer, (b) an organic-inorganic composite filler prepared by curing a mixture of a particulate filler having a mean particle size of 20 nm or less with a methacrylate or acrylate monomer having a viscosity of 60 cP or more and pulverizing the cured mixture, (c) a particulate filler having a mean particle size of 20 nm or less, and (d) a polymerization initiator, and further, if desired, (e) a glass powder having a maximum particle size of 5 &mgr;m or less and having a mean particle size of from 0.5 to 2 &mgr;m. The dental restorative composition according to the invention gives restorations having surface smoothness and transparency similar to natural teeth, having superior esthetics and superior physical properties such as bending strength and bending strain energy characteristics, and being provided with easy polishing.
