Abstract: A technique of protection of personal data is provided, in which there is no need to repeatedly instruct search conditions, and also provided is a technique of protection of personal data in which operation cost can be reduced. Respective personal data include multiple items and an item value of each of the items. A information processing apparatus selects at least one of the items for each of multiple personal data. The information processing apparatus counts, for each of the multiple personal data, the number of personal data that include a combination of the same item values as an item value of the selected item. As a result, the information processing apparatus outputs only item values of items having the number of personal data equal to or larger than a threshold, to an output device.

Abstract: The present invention provides resin compositions comprising a blend of two different saponified products of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. The composition is much improved compared to a single EVOH in flexibility without adversely affecting the transparency and gas barrier property. Laminate films comprising at least one layer of said composition are excellent in resistance to dropping shock, ability to prevent air-back, skin-pack adaptability and shrink-packaging capability.

Abstract: A resinous composition which comprises (A) 95 to 50 parts by weight of a saponified product of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and (B) 5 to 50 parts by weight of a product formed by modifying ethylene-vinyl carboxylate ester copolymer or ethylene-acrylate ester copolymer with an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride thereof. This resinous composition can be made by melt extrusion into a molded article which is superior in impact resistance to that formed from the component (A) alone. The resinous composition can also be made into an inner layer or interlayer of a laminated container. This container is suitable for bottles of foods and agricultural chemicals because of its outstanding impact resistance, organic solvent resistance, and oxygen barrier properties.
