Abstract: A storage apparatus 10 is disclosed, that comprises a wiring substrate 11 having a first surface and a second surface, a flat type external connection terminal 12a disposed on the first surface of the wiring substrate 11, a semiconductor device 14 disposed on the second surface of the wiring substrate 11 and having a connection terminal 14a connected to the flat type external connection terminal 12a, a molding resin 15 for coating the semiconductor device 14 on the second surface of the wiring substrate 11, a card type supporting frame 10a having a concave portion or a hole portion fitting the wiring substrate 11, the semiconductor device 14, and the molding resin 15 in such a manner that the flat type external connection terminal 12a is exposed to the first surface of the wiring substrate 11, and adhesive resin a adhering integrally the flat type external connection terminal 12a, the wiring substrate 11, the semiconductor device 14, the molding resin 15, and the card type supporting frame 10a.

Abstract: The present patent application relates to a single-use cosmetic article containing a water-insoluble substrate impregnated with an aqueous cosmetic composition, said substrate being permeable and containing at least a first group of fibers and at least a second group of fibers whose hydrophilicity is different from that of the fibers of the first group. The first and second groups of fibers are arranged such that a first face of the substrate has a hydrophilicity substantially greater than the hydrophilicity of a second face of the substrate, opposite the first face.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for interfacing with a metrics database is provided for getting metrics data and grouping metrics data in response to a query. The metrics database interface gets metrics data by retrieving a set of metrics data from the metrics database in response to a query and determining a set of unique tags. The metrics database interface also groups a set of metrics data in response to a query so that the group can be referenced in a subsequent query.
