20090317624	UNIFORMLY DISPERSED PHOTOCATALYST COATING LIQUID, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME, AND PHOTOCATALYTICALLY ACTIVE COMPOSITE MATERIAL OBTAINED BY USING SAME - Disclosed is a uniformly-dispersed photocatalyst coating liquid having excellent dispersion stability of titanium oxide particles which have photocatalytic activity, which coating liquid places no burden on the environment while being excellent in handling properties. In addition, this uniformly-dispersed photocatalyst coating liquid enables to form a photocatalyst coating film, which is excellent in photocatalytic activities (antifouling property and/or antibacterial property), transparency and durability, on the surface of a base when applied thereto. Also disclosed are a method for producing such a uniformly-dispersed photocatalyst coating liquid, and a photocatalytically active composite material obtained by using such a uniformly-dispersed photocatalyst coating liquid. Specifically disclosed is a uniformly-dispersed photocatalyst coating liquid which is a composition containing, in an aqueous solvent, titanium oxide dispersed particles having an average primary particle diameter of 5-50 nm and an average dispersed particle diameter of 10-100 nm, a polymer dispersing agent, an alkoxysilane hydrolysis-polycondensation product, an organic amine, and additionally if necessary, silver particles. The uniformly-dispersed photocatalyst coating liquid has a pH within a range of 5-9. Also specifically disclosed are a method for producing such a uniformly-dispersed photocatalyst coating liquid, and a photocatalytically active composite material having antifouling property and antibacterial property, which is obtained by applying such a uniformly-dispersed photocatalyst coating liquid over the surface of a base.	12-24-2009

20140376628	MULTI-VIEW IMAGE ENCODING DEVICE AND METHOD, AND MULTI-VIEW IMAGE DECODING DEVICE AND METHOD - According to an embodiment, a multi-view image encoding device encodes a multi-view image including a plurality of viewpoint images. The device includes an assignor, a predictor, a subtractor, and an encoder. The assignor assigns reference image numbers to the reference images according to a number of reference images used in predicting already-encoded blocks obtained by dividing the viewpoint images. The predictor generates a prediction image with respect to an encoding target block obtained by dividing the viewpoint images by referring to the reference images. The subtractor calculates a residual error between an encoding target image and the prediction image. The encoder encodes: a coefficient of transformation which is obtained by performing orthogonal transformation and quantization with respect to the residual error; and the reference image numbers of the reference images used in generating the prediction image.	12-25-2014

20110093476	RECOMMENDATION INFORMATION GENERATION APPARATUS AND RECOMMENDATION INFORMATION GENERATION METHOD - A recommendation information generation apparatus and a recommendation information generation method that can select a similar user appropriately even if the amount of history information is small. In an information distribution server, a user characteristic vector calculation unit calculates a user characteristic vector of each of users, and a similar user calculation unit calculates the degree of similarity between the users based on the calculated user characteristic vector of each of the users. The similar user calculation unit then selects a similar user who is similar to a first user based on the calculated degree of similarity. A relevance evaluation unit generates recommendation information for the first user based on the characteristic vector of the selected similar user.	04-21-2011
20110131168	RECOMMENDATION INFORMATION EVALUATION APPARATUS AND RECOMMENDATION INFORMATION EVALUATION METHOD - A content evaluation apparatus and a content evaluation method that can distribute contents that a user potentially needs without any omissions. A history class separation unit generates a separation plane for separating in a separation plane a characteristic vector of a selected content and characteristic vectors of non-selected contents stored in a browsing history table. A user characteristic vector calculation unit generates a user characteristic vector based on an orthogonal vector perpendicular to the separation plane thus generated and stores the user characteristic vector in a user characteristic vector management table. Subsequently, when a recommendation request receiving unit receives a recommendation request, a content evaluation unit evaluates the contents based on the stored user characteristic vector.	06-02-2011

20090259635	INFORMATION DELIVERY APPARATUS AND INFORMATION DELIVERY METHOD - The invention provides an information delivery apparatus and information delivery method that can improve the rate of access by a user. A task node designation unit acquires task information related to contents sent by a contents transmission unit, and the contents transmission unit sends the acquired task information to the user, thereby making it possible to assist the actions of the user suitably. Consequently, since task information that is related to the contents, for example, task information which can cause the user to consider performing an action of some kind in relation to the content can be also viewed, the user is encouraged to perform new actions, whereby the access rate to the content can be improved.	10-15-2009
