Abstract: A cosmetic case includes a protective sheet serving as a separator between a body and a mirror, which reduces possibility of the user's finger or hand being smudged with a cosmetic in the case, and allows the user to easily move the protective sheet. The cosmetic case includes: a body including a container for containing a cosmetic; a lid coupled to the body such that the body is openable and closable with the lid; a mirror attached to the inner surface of the lid; and a protective sheet including a portion serving as a separator between the body and the mirror, wherein the protective sheet includes a fixed section at least partially fixed between the lid and the mirror, and a separator section foldably connected to the fixed section such that the separator section is positioned between the body and the mirror when the body is closed with the lid.

Abstract: A formed activated carbon has a Kiya crushing strength of 1 kg or more and a specific heat of 0.4 J/K·cc or more at 25° C.

Abstract: Electric double-layer capacitor are disclosed having a non-aqueous solvent electrolyte; and a pair of polarized electrodes as positive and negative electrodes. These polarized electrodes have a rest potential nearly central between a substantial decomposition initiation voltage of the electrolyte on an oxidation or high-potential side and a substantial decomposition initiation voltage of the electrolyte on a reduction or low-potential side.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an activated carbon comprising an activated carbon particle and titanium dioxide fine particles present at least on the surface thereof, which activated carbon contains substantially no carbon precursor on the surface thereof and has the lightness L value thereof of not more than 50.

Abstract: An activated carbon has a specific surface area of pores with a pore diameter of not less than 20 .ANG. in the pore distribution determined from the nitrogen adsorption isotherm of not less than 1,000 m.sup.2 /g, and the ratio of the specific surface area of the pores with a pore diameter of not less than 20 .ANG. to the specific surface area of the whole pores of not less than 0.45.

Abstract: A carbon fiber-reinforced carbon composite material having a porosity of not higher than 20% prepared by subjecting a carbon fiber-reinforced carbon composite material having a porosity of from 25 to 95% to densification treatment, wherein the densification treatment is conducted with pyrolytic carbon formed by the pyrolysis of a halogenated hydrocarbon-containing gas at a temperature of from 400.degree. to 800.degree.
