Abstract:
A progressive-power lens has one surface which satisfies the following expressions CY(DP)=CT(DP) CY(P)>CT(P) where CT(DP) denotes a vertical direction curvature at the distance reference point, CY(DP) denotes a horizontal direction curvature, CY(P) denotes a horizontal direction curvature at a point on the principal meridian which is located further on the near portion than the progressive start point, and CT(P) denotes a vertical direction curvature at the point.
Abstract:
Spectacle lenses that allow a wearer to view an object in a more comfortable manner include a pair of lenses for the left and right eyes. The power of one of the pair of lenses is shifted toward the positive side with respect to the power of the other lens, and object-side average surface power (base curve) of the one lens is smaller than object-side average surface power (base curve) of the other lens. The power (dioptric power) is principal meridian power along a principal meridian of each of the lenses, and the base curve is in the direction along the principal meridian.

Abstract:
A central processing unit of a calculation server apparatus includes a reference design data selection unit for selecting reference design data from a plurality of reference design data stored in reference design data storage of storage memory, and an arrange design unit 123 for processing the reference design data so acquired on the basis of prescription data.

Abstract:
An optical communication equipment comprises shared optical sources 88a–88d to be shared by communication nodes 100a–100d, the wavelengths of optical signals 76a–76d are converted into desired wavelengths λa–λd according to the addressed information of the corresponding optical label signals 77a–77d by using the shared optical sources 88a–88d, and routed to the addressed communication nodes without being converted into electrical signals by using the wavelength routing function of the cyclic-wavelength arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) 120. The load of each communication node can be reduced by incorporating the multi-wavelength optical sources, which can be shared among individual communication nodes, into the router 80. Further, each communication node is provided with an optical gate or the like for returning the optical signal to the communication node from which the optical signal has been transmitted through the router 80 in order to adjust the transmission time lag between the optical signal and the corresponding optical label signal by the controllers 110a–110d.
Abstract:
It has been difficult to manufacture an inside surface progressive-power lens which is as thin as an outside surface progressive-power lens due to a limited configuration of an object-side refractive surface of the inside surface progressive-power lens. However, a thin progressive-power lens with less blur and distortion can be provided at a reduced cost by forming its object-side refractive surface from an aspherical surface which is symmetric with respect to a rotational axis and has a smaller curvature at a distance reference point than that at a near reference point, and by forming an eyeball-side refractive surface from a combination of a progressive surface, an astigmatic refraction surface and an “as-worn” corrective aspherical surface.

Abstract:
In the present invention, the distance, the intermediate, and the reading portions are smoothly jointed together, and thereby the present invention provides a progressive power lens which is capable of enlarging an area, which provides an excellent field of view, by improving aberration of the lens body as well as reducing in weight and thickness.The curvature of one of two refracting interfaces of the distance portion or the reading portion varies along the principal gazing line from the vicinity of the center of the lens toward the peripheral portion thereof, the refracting interfaces oppositely facing to each other.
Abstract:
A wavelength swept light source includes a sawtooth waveform as a main waveform and an exponential component of the sawtooth waveform to the controlled voltage of the electro-optic deflector. The controlled voltage is controlled so that, as an oscillation wavelength to be swept is swept towards a longer wavelength side, a change rate of the oscillation wavelength is increased.
