    Abstract: An thermally expandable sheet includes a base and a thermal expansion layer arranged on one surface of the base and configured to be used in manufacture of a shaped object by swelling of at least a portion of the thermal expansion layer. The thermal expansion layer includes a first thermally expandable material having a first expansion initiation temperature and a first maximum expansion temperature, and a second thermally expandable material having a second expansion initiation temperature and a second maximum expansion temperature. The first expansion initiation temperature and the second expansion initiation temperature are high in comparison to a temperature of an environment in which the shaped object is to be placed. The second maximum expansion temperature is high in comparison to the first maximum expansion temperature.

    Abstract: A liquid crystal controller is provided for a liquid crystal panel having a plurality of pixels, each of which includes a memory element and a display element. The memory element is configured to hold electric potential depending on an image signal and is configured to change the held electric potential based on activation of an enable signal. The display element is configured to be applied voltage depending on the electric potential which the memory element holds. The liquid crystal controller is configured to: hold off outputting the enable signal, for a period th before polarity of AC voltage applied to the display element is inverted and a period (tr+ts) after the polarity of the AC voltage is inverted; and hold off inversion of the polarity of the AC voltage, for an output period of the enable signal and the period th after the output period.

    Abstract: In an exercise support device of the present invention, acceleration signals in three axis directions including vertical, longitudinal, and lateral directions corresponding to the motion of a user performing exercise of cyclically moving feet are obtained, and a first maximum value in one cycle of a foot movement in the vertical acceleration signal is obtained. Subsequently, a search is made for first and second change points related to foot landing and takeoff motions in a composite acceleration signal obtained by combining acceleration signals in at least two axis directions, in forward and backward directions of the time point of a second maximum value of the composite acceleration signal, within the cycle. Then, a time period between the first and second change points is obtained as a change point interval, and a foot landing period while exercising is calculated based on the first maximum value and the change point interval.
