Publication number: 20240135636Abstract: Image data expressed in a first color space is converted into an expression in a second color space to be used during rendering by using a color conversion profile, and converted image data is generated. A setting related to an application to physically-based rendering is performed on a parameter to be used when performing physically-based rendering on a print medium as a 3D object and related to an appearance of the print medium, the physically-based rendering of a printed print medium on which an input image is printed is performed using the set parameter, and a rendering image corresponding to an appearance of the print medium in a virtual space is displayed in a mode in which a difference in applications of the parameter during rendering is comparable.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Takuya ONO, Takahiro KAMADA, Mitsuhiro YAMASHITA, Yuko YAMAMOTO

Publication number: 20240126484Abstract: An image processing apparatus sets, when image data expressed in a first color space is converted, using a color conversion profile prepared in advance, into expression in a second color space used in rendering, whether to apply a printing profile including a parameter relating to color development at the time when an image is printed. The image processing apparatus performs color conversion according to the setting of the propriety of the printing profile, generates converted image data, performs, using the converted image data and a necessary parameter, physically-based rendering of a printed printing medium on which the image is printed, and generates a rendering image corresponding to appearance in a virtual space of the printed printing medium. The image processing apparatus displays the rendering image obtained in this way in a form in which a difference in the propriety of the printing profile can be compared.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Takuya ONO, Takahiro KAMADA, Mitsuhiro YAMASHITA, Yuko YAMAMOTO

Patent number: 10016481Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a safety sensation-improving agent that can improve dulled peripheral sensations through daily ingestion or application to the skin. Another object of the present invention is to provide a sensation-improving food, beverage, feed, or cosmetics that can improve dulled peripheral sensations through oral ingestion or application to the skin. A sensation-improving agent containing a milk-derived protein and/or a hydrolysate therefrom as an active ingredient is provided. The milk-derived protein and/or the hydrolysate therefrom can be orally ingested or applied direct to the skin to improve dulled sensations, particularly peripheral sensations, and be formed into a sensation-improving food, beverage, feed, or cosmetics.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: MEGMILK SNOW BRAND CO., LTD.Inventors: Ken Katoh, Hiroshi Ueno, Yuko Ono, Noriko Ueda, Toshiya Kobayashi, Takahiro Moriya, Yutaro Obara

Patent number: 9884095Abstract: A skin sensitivity improving agent which is safe and, when routinely taken or applied to the skin, exerts an effect of improving deterioration in peripheral sensation is provided. The present invention also provides a food, a drink, a feed or a cosmetic for improving sensation which exerts an effect of improving deterioration in peripheral sensation when orally taken or applied to the skin. The skin sensitivity improving agent includes, as the active ingredient, a basic protein fraction derived from milk or a degraded basic protein fraction derived from milk. By orally taking the basic protein fraction derived from milk or the degraded basic protein fraction derived from milk or applying the same directly to the skin, deterioration in sensation, in particular, peripheral sensation can be improved. Thus, a food, a drink, a feed or a cosmetic for improving sensation can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2015Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: MEGMILK SNOW BRAND CO., LTD.Inventors: Ken Katoh, Noriko Ueda, Hiroshi Ueno, Yuko Ono, Norimichi Nakahata, Takahiro Moriya, Daisaku Kobayashi

Patent number: 9255123Abstract: The invention addresses the problem of providing a skin-beautifying agent with beautifying effects such as skin moisturizing, skin beautification, prevention of rough skin, wrinkle prevention, prevention of reduced elasticity, etc., and a skin-beautifying product such as a cosmetic, food or drink, feed, medicine, etc. that contains said skin-beautifying agent. The skin-beautifying agent is characterized in containing a hydrolyzate of whey protein as an active ingredient. Using a whey protein hydrolyzate having the characteristics of a molecular weight distribution of 10 kDa or less, a main peak of 200 Da-3 kDa, APL (average peptide length) of 2-8, free amino acid content of 20% or less, and a ?-lactoglobulin antigenicity of 1/10,000 or less, in particular, provides a skin-beautifying agent of low allergenicity and low bitterness.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2012Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: MEGMILK SNOW BRAND CO., LTD.Inventors: Ken Katoh, Hiroshi Ueno, Yuko Ono, Noriko Ueda

Patent number: 8053180Abstract: In a developing method for performing developing treatment of a substrate by supplying a developing solution onto a resist film formed on a surface of the substrate, the present invention controls a zeta potential of the surface of the substrate at a predetermined potential in the same polarity as that of a zeta potential of insoluble substances floating in the developing solution, thereby preventing or reducing the adhesion of the insoluble substances to the resist film and the substrate. This remedies the occurrence of development defects. The adhesion of the insoluble substances to the resist film and the substrate can also be prevented or inhibited by supplying an acid liquid to a liquid on the substrate, or controlling a pH value of the liquid on the substrate to control an absolute value of the zeta potential of the insoluble substances.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2009Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Tokyo Electron LimitedInventors: Yuko Ono, Junichi Kitano
