This is a simple, anti-tension eyeglass frame which is affixed
to each lens at only one point. The unique fixing method absorbs
the stress that is applied to the rim when the glasses are put
on, and since there is no distortion of the actual lens, there
is no change at all in the distance between the pupils of both
eyes. In addition, the curve from the front to the temple, which
holds the lens in place, provides a comfortable fit. We liked
this design not only for its achievement of simple, beautiful
styling with a completely new structure but also for its groundbreaking
improvement in fit, its solution of medical problems, and its
innovation in eyewear design.

This is a white gasoline stove used for cooking outdoors. In
order to eliminate a problem that has long plagued gasoline
stoves, namely, the need for preheating before ignition, the
company has developed and adopted the world's first instant
ignition system. In this market, gas cartridge stoves have almost
all the market share, due to their ease of handling, despite
the fact that they produce a large amount of waste. However,
the introduction of this product is expected to increase the
number of users of gasoline stoves. We gave this design our
approval not only for the expected functions of good fuel consumption
performance and portability, but also for the willingness of
a manufacturer of outdoor products to find out what products
should be developed and to take the considerable amount of time
required to create a superior product.
