−80−Abstractsassessment methodology in the current study was revised to fulfill purpose C; the effectiveness of this new methodology was demonstrated by using toluene as an example. Since the loss of quality-adjusted life years is adopted as an indicator of human health risks, we could compare health risks for not only different chemical substances but also compare between chemical substances and other types of risks such as accident or infectious disease.Design and retail service technologies for well-fitting eyeglass frames- Toward the mass customization business -Masaaki Mochimaru and Makiko KouchiDigital Human Research Center, AISTAomi 2-41-6, Koto-ku, Tokyo 135-0064, JapanE-mail: Mass customization that enables any consumer to easily obtain a custom-fitted product is the ultimate goal of this research. As the first step towards this goal, an IT-based product recommendation system for eyeglass frames was developed. Using this system, a customer's 3-D face shape is measured, frame(s) of the proper size are recommended, and a simulation of the customer wearing the eyeglass frame is generated as a style recommendation. Technologies such as face measurement, size recommendation and impression simulation were integrated based on a 3-D face shape database. When the system is utilized on a retail level, the contents of the 3-D face shape database will be expanded, and statistical information on face shape and/or impressions of the face and eyeglass frame will be utilized for product designing and retailing services.Improved reliability of temperature measurements with clinical infrared ear thermometers- Design and establishment of a new measurement standards system traceable to the national standards -Juntaro IshiiNational Metrology Institute of Japan, AISTUmezono 1-1-1, Tsukuba 305-8563, JapanE-mail: Since the late 1990’s clinical infrared ear thermometers based on infrared radiation measurements have been on the Japanese market and are rapidly increasing in sales. As the use of these ear thermometers has become more widespread, the discontent of users of the performance of ear thermometers is increasing. AIST has developed a new national standard for the calibration and conformity assessment of ear thermometers and have also established a traceability system to meet the demand for improved reliability of the measured temperature. An international comparison of radiance temperature scales based upon the standard blackbodies of AIST, PTB (Germany), and NPL (United Kingdom) was performed to verify experimentally the equality of the national primary standards for ear thermometers.
