A. Patterns to Facilitate Treading on a Staircase
1. Background of Invention
One of the greatest inventions mankind has ever made is a staircase or a flight of stairs.
But, strangely, since its invention probably tens of thousands years ago, its basic structure has never changed: a series of steps upward or downward in a monotonous manner.
This invention is to introduce a bit little innovation into its concept that mankind should tread on steps as if toiling.
2. General Specifications of the Invention
This invention is regarding a method of facilitation of man's treading on steps of a stairway.
Specifically, it is to apply a unique pattern on steps, which has a psychological effect on the mind of a person treading on steps so that his or her psychological burden or pain in exercising physical power will be alleviated or lessened.
As there are many aged people in this world, especially in large cities where many stairways are used, this method to alleviate their pain to ascend a stairway will be useful and helpful.
In order to realize this effect, on each step and on each short wall connecting a lower step and a higher step a specific pattern or patterns will be applied, which has a visual effect to alleviate pedestrian's pain to ascend a stairway.

B. Patterns to Avoid Trouble with a Dangerous Car
1. Background of Invention
There are many car accidents in every country. Especially, tragic are those caused by driving while intoxicated.
Accordingly, there are many inventions to make an easy check on a state of becoming intoxicated in a driver's seat or halt ignition of the engine until a driver passes such a check.
But, there is another way to decrease the number of accidents by promoting awareness in other drivers running around a dangerous car.
2. General Specifications of the Invention
This invention is regarding a method to promote awareness in drivers running around a car that is owned and driven by a driver who has ever caused an accident by driving while intoxicated.
In order to achieve the above end, a special pattern is applied to the surface of the car body owned and driven by a driver who has ever caused an accident by driving while intoxicated.
The specific pattern on the body, which should be easily observed by other drivers running before or after the potentially dangerous car, tells that the car with the pattern has once been driven by an intoxicated driver.
One thing to be taken into consideration is a need of official or public enforcement of applying such a pattern to an identified car by law or by regulation. However, it does not change the nature of this invention.

C. Patterns to Protect Internet Users
1. Background of Invention
There are many potentially dangerous sites and pages on the Internet.
In order to protect users and consumers from such sites, it is apparent that some measures should be taken without, however, violating freedom of speech, opinion, and legitimate business.
Therefore, even in combination with special network control devices, such as a functionally enhanced router, that can compulsorily cut off a link with such site, a method to give a warning with specific patters, superimposed on the image display of the site, to users and consumers who have accessed the site is needed.
2. General Specifications of the Invention
This invention is regarding specific patterns themselves and a method to superimpose and display them on the image display of an illegal or unlawful site on a screen of a computer or a cellular phone an accessing user is using.
Such a pattern or patterns would have special warning effect about the site or the page and request an intended click on a check box on the pattern to continue the access to the site. The action of clicking will be transmitted to a center of the official Internet monitoring center.
Conversely, officers in such an official Internet monitoring center always try to find dubious sites and attach, in a simple manner, the automatic warning-patterns-display-function to a network device acting as a gateway for the specific dubious server or site to connect to the public Internet.
The invention of such a network device will be separately applied for patent.

New York Times and BBC online presented this morning (in Japan time) news reports involving Japanese in specific fields.
One news item is on a new stem cell method developed by a Japanese research team (and at the same time independently by a US research team).

Another is on higher appreciation of Japanese cooking skills.

Indeed, Japanese are contributing to betterment of the world and human society even with humble planned patent applications of specific patterns.
Truly, terrorists, the Mafia, and loan sharks should not be allowed to apply their ideas to the patent and trademark office unless they repent enough and fully.
(So, good girls, you can consult me for any business idea on your profession if not unclean.
Remember even a pattern of arrangement of hand-rolled sushi in a package sold at a supermarket in Japan can enhance appealing power and even taste of the food psychologically.
Anyway, my quest for holy patterns will continue...)
