  • Publication number: 20150150813
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a tablet manufacturing method and also to provide a tablet such as a carbonated spring bathing liquid in which although an aqueous solution after dissolution of the tablet becomes neutral in pH, neutralization reactions are allowed to take place efficiently and intensively inside the tablet, bubbles of carbon dioxide gas which are small in size as much as possible are continuously generated for a certain period of time, thereby the thus generated carbon dioxide gas is mostly dissolved in water without escaping into the air to increase concentrations of total carbonate components in water, and carbon dioxide gas in contact with the skin is designed to be easily converted to bicarbonate ions due to a pH value of the aqueous solution thereof and, therefore, absorbed through the skin, and this subject is solved by a tablet manufacturing method for conducting compression molding in the presence of an organic acid in a range of 1:10 to 1:3 and polyethylene glycol in

  • Patent number: 8907974
    Abstract: When a single pixel is displayed by four color sub-pixels, or R (red), G (green), B (blue), and G, in a Bayer array, this invention sets the scaling rate of a scaling process to 3/2 times when executing the scaling process on image data having three color components, or R, G, and B, and then executes a color conversion process for finding four color components from the three color components; after this, a decimation process for reducing the number of pixels is carried out. Setting the scaling rate of the scaling process to an integer proportion, moirés caused by the scaling process can be made less noticeable. Note that it is desirable for the scaling rate of the scaling process to be close to ?2 and for the denominator of the integer proportion to be lower.
