  • Patent number: 11661529
    Abstract: A heat dissipating paint composition for forming a heat dissipating coating is disclosed. The heat dissipating paint includes a prepolymer and a curing agent. The prepolymer includes a main chain containing an epoxy resin and a linear side chain bonded to the main chain and having 5 to 101 carbon atoms.

  • Patent number: 11367032
    Abstract: As a plurality of resource types relating to production, there are two or more resource types including Money from among resource types of Man, Machine, Material, and Money. Execution past record information indicates, for each of one or more resource types other than Money and for each resource belonging to the resource type, a step performed on the resource and an execution time block of the step. Expense information indicates, for at least one of the above-mentioned one or more resource types and for each resource belonging to the resource type, an expense relating to the resource. The system displays a cost chart based on the result of the cost calculation process. The cost chart shows costs in management unit same as or different from those of the steps, and has a time axis and a management unit axis (axis perpendicular to the time axis).

  • Patent number: 9118917
    Abstract: The image coding method according to the present invention includes the following steps. At a histogram calculation step, a histogram of pixel values included in a block image is calculated. At a plane region detection step, a size of a plane region included in the block image is detected. At an orthogonal transformation size selection step, (i) a first processing size is selected as a processing size of orthogonal transformation for the block image when the histogram is bimodal and the size of the plane region is equal to or greater than the first threshold value, and (ii) a second processing size greater than the first processing size is selected as the processing size, when that the histogram is not bimodal or the size of the plane region is smaller than the first threshold value.
