  • Publication number: 20240115873
    Abstract: The ultraviolet therapy apparatus includes a light source part having an LED light source, a controller that controls lighting of the LED light source, an input unit that inputs a set irradiation dose of a therapeutic light to be applied to a patient on the assumption that a reference light is used for the therapeutic light, a storage unit that stores at least one parameter for modifying the set irradiation dose. The controller includes a modifier that modifies the set irradiation dose on the basis of the parameter stored in the storage unit, and a lighting controller that causes the LED light source to provide the modified irradiation dose. The modified irradiation dose is derived from a degree of effect of the reference light on a human body and a degree of effect on the human body caused by the ultraviolet light output from the light source part.

  • Publication number: 20240058618
    Abstract: An ultraviolet therapy apparatus having an LED light source can achieve a stable therapeutic effect regardless of the temperature of the LED light source. The ultraviolet therapy apparatus includes an LED light source configured to emit light including ultraviolet light; a controller configured to control lighting of the LED light source; and a measurement unit configured to detect change in a temperature of the LED light source from a reference temperature. The controller includes a calculator configured to calculate a modifying value for modifying an irradiation dose of the ultraviolet light on the basis of change in a degree of effect on a human body caused by change in spectral spectrum of the light due to change in the temperature detected by the measurement unit, and a lighting controller configured to cause the LED light source to emit the light on the basis of the modifying value calculated by the calculator.

  • Publication number: 20150125633
    Abstract: Provided is an artificial lawn that has a high durability and does not undergo fibrillation over a long time. In the artificial lawn, flat filament yarns, which are produced by uniaxially stretching a crystalline plastic material to give a crystal orientation degree of 0.75-0.90, are used as piles (3) to be implanted in a base fabric (2).

  • Patent number: 8147939
    Abstract: The present invention provides an artificial grass granulated infill excellent in productivity, workability, and recyclability, and an artificial grass structure using the same. A hollow cylindrical granulated infill 5 which has a height h of 3.0 mm or less and an outside diameter of 3.0 mm or less and satisfies the condition: ?2/?1=0.40 to 0.85, where ?1 presents the outside diameter and ?2 represents the inside diameter, is made from a material comprising a synthetic resin having a hardness of 60 or more in accordance with JIS-K6253 type A.

  • Publication number: 20100247814
    Abstract: A circulation type technique for recycling an artificial turf structure, in which a spent artificial turf is used as a filler for a fresh artificial turf. A spent artificial turf (3) is melted and formed into a particulate filler (5) for recycling. An artificial turf (3) newly laid on a roadbed is filled with the filler for recycling.

  • Publication number: 20090286018
    Abstract: The present invention provides an artificial grass granulated infill excellent in productivity, workability, and recyclability, and an artificial grass structure using the same. The artificial grass granulated infill is made from a material comprising a synthetic resin having a hardness of 60 or more in accordance with type A, and is formed so that the void 51 accounts for 10 to 75% of the total volume (the sum of the volume of the portion in which the material is present and the volume of the void).
