Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water-in-oil emulsion composition that is stable over a long period of time without allowing syneresis to occur, even when a relatively large quantity of salicylic acid has been blended therein, and furthermore does not lose usability over time and can be applied in a make-up cosmetic. The present invention relates to a water-in-oil emulsion composition that is characterized by including: (a) 0.5 mass % or more of salicylic acid; (b) an organic modified clay mineral; (c) a sorbitan fatty acid ester; and (d) a coloring material.

Abstract: There are provided a method and a kit for evaluating allergen inactivators, the method and kit making it possible to carry out a precise and reproducible evaluation irrespective of the type of test drug, or the type of accompanying components thereof, that is subject to the evaluation.

Abstract: A plurality of character strings corresponding to words or the like are displayed in the form of an at-a-glance list. A user can select a desired character string from among the displayed character strings, so that the selected character string is automatically input to fill in a character string display box. A new character string can be added to the list of registered character strings. Functions are also available for editorial operations, such as addition or deletion on the registered character strings. The user is relieved of the burden of inputting characters of the character string one by one, thus offering improvement in efficiency of input work, particularly when the word constituted by the character string is often used by the user.

Abstract: In case that the power source voltage rises fast, the reset signal is set in the low level when the power source is supplied, so that the PMOS transistor T1 is switched ON and the node N1 is shifted to the high level. Because the node N1 is connected to the earth line VSS through the NMOS transistor T2, the NMOS transistor T2 is switched ON when the power source voltage reaches the predetermined value. Thus, by giving a small resistance value to the resistor R1, the node N1 can shift from the high level to the low level without delay, whereby the nodes N2 and N3 are set to the high level, thereby setting the reset signal to the high level. In addition, while the reset signal stays in the high level, the PMOS transistor T1 is switched OFF to cut the current. Consequently, it has become possible to provide an integrated circuit which can save the standby current consumption and at the same time output the reset signal properly in response to the power source voltage at any rising rate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of detecting harmful components selected from the group consisting of volatile inorganic hydrides, volatile inorganic halides and organometallic compounds. The harmful components can be detecting by bringing it into contact with a crystalline cupric hydroxide. The harmful components can be detected based on the color change of the copper hydroxide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of removing harmful components selected from the group consisting of volatile inorganic hydrides, volatile inorganic halides and organometallic compounds and a method of detecting the same, apparatus employed according to these methods. The harmful components can be removed by bringing it into contact with a crystalline cupric hydroxide. The harmful components can be detected based on the color change of the copper hydroxide.
