製紙業界において規定されている色やISO白色度は，ラボでの用紙の検査・測定に使用されているが，印刷業界ではより簡便な仕組みとして，デザインから生産に至るまでのサプライチェーン全体で色の一貫性を保つため，色を数値的に捉えてコミュニケーションするツール（ハンディー測色計，ソフトウェア）や規格が存在する。

Abstract The cloud imaging and particle size (CIPS) instrument onboard the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere satellite provides images of gravity waves (GWs) near the stratopause and lowermost mesosphere (altitudes of 50–55 km). GW identification is based on Rayleigh Albedo Anomaly (RAA) variances, which are derived from GW‐induced fluctuations in Rayleigh scattering at 265 nm. Based on 3 years of CIPS RAA variance data from 2019 to 2022, we report for the first time the seasonal distribution of GWs entering the mesosphere with high (7.5 km) horizontal resolution on a near‐global scale. Seasonally averaged GW variances clearly show spatial and temporal patterns of GW activity, mainly due to the seasonal variation of primary GW sources such as convection, the polar vortices and flow over mountains. Measurements of stratospheric GWs derived from Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS) observations of 4.3 μm brightness temperature perturbations within the same 3‐year time range are compared to the CIPS results. The comparisons show that locations of GW hotspots are similar in the CIPS and AIRS observations. Variability in GW variances and the monthly changes in background zonal wind suggest a strong GW‐wind correlation. This study demonstrates the utility of the CIPS GW variance data set for statistical investigations of GWs in the lowermost mesosphere, as well as provides a reference for location/time selection for GW case studies.

Market segmentation techniques have played an extraordinarily important role in successful revenue management programs. For example, purchase fences allowed companies to sell a single product at multiple prices, simultaneously, to customers that self-selected into different customer segments, based on willingness-to-pay. As revenue management expanded to more industries, new approaches to market segmentation became possible. The financial benefits associated with successful implementations have been extraordinary. This article discusses how market segmentation techniques have evolved in support of revenue management and dynamic pricing practices and what companies and customers may be able to look forward to in the future.

We have developed a motion-support system that helps a person when standing up from bed. In this paper, we report upper layer controller of the stand-up-from-bed motion support system, which is characterized by its synchronous control of the modularized actuators and software architecture based on distributed object technology.

Summary form only given. As recorded track widths become narrower, track and head edge geometry becomes more important. We studied the shape effects of the leads and permanent magnets used for longitudinal stabilization located at the edges of GMR sensors. These cause the top shield to curve away from the bottom shield, significantly increasing the read gap at the GMR sensor's edges. This should decrease the shielded sensor's spatial resolution. The on and off track signal profiles have been studied for sensors with lead overlay structures. The effects of lead overlay amount on the readback performance is studied.
