Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a massage oil capable of alleviating pain of the muscles, joints, nerves, etc. In order to solve this problem, there is provided a massage candle that has a container, a wax component accommodated in the container, and a wick inserted into the wax component, wherein the melting point of the wax component is 30-60° C., the wax component contains 40% by weight or more of shea fat and also contains 15-40% by weight of vegetable oil that is liquid at normal temperature, and the massage candle is for alleviating pain.

Abstract: A stent 51c is formed by braiding a plurality of filament threads containing a biodegradable polymer into a cylindrical braid, and connecting points 53a-53d at end portions of the filament threads constituting the braid are arranged in two or more rows in a length direction of the braid. Elastic threads 54a-54d are each disposed outside at least a part of the stent 51c and along at least a part of the stent in the length direction including the vicinity of either one of end portions of the stent. One end of each elastic thread is fixed to the vicinity of the end portion of the stent, and the other end is fixed to any portion of the stent. In a state in which the stent is radially contracted, tension may be applied to the elastic threads. Thus, provided are a stent that is easy to load into a delivery system and also facilitates the expanding operation, as well as a medical device including the stent.

Abstract: Disclosed is a candle for massage that can obtain massage oil having a proper temperature. The candle for massage comprises a container (2), a wax component (3) having a melting point of 30° C. or above and 60° C. or below, which is contained in the container (2), and a wick (4) inserted into the wax component (3).

Abstract: According to the present invention, timing information, connection information and physical information are received, and at the weighting determination step, the degree to which a cell can move is weighted. Then, at the movement range determination step, the movement enabled range of the cell is determined, and whether or not a cell placement area is available is decided. When it is decided that a cell placement area is available, the processing advances either to the cell movement area extension step or to the cell placement area acquisition step. Thereafter, an automatic, optimal placement process is performed for the cell.

Abstract: A flame retardant resin composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a synthetic resin, (B) 20 to 150 parts by weight of magnesium hydroxide particles and (C) 20 to 150 parts by weight of aluminum hydroxide particles, wherein the magnesium hydroxide particles and the aluminum hydroxide particles satisfy the following conditions (i) to (v): (i) the average secondary particle diameter measured by a microtrack method is 0.4 to 4 .mu.m; (ii) the specific surface measured by a BET method is 1 to 15 m.sup.2 /g; (iii) the total content of an iron compound and a manganese compound is 200 ppm or less in terms of metals (Fe+Mn); (iv) the ratio of the specific surface measured by the BET method to the specific surface measured by a Blaine method is 1 to 4; and (v) the content of a water-soluble sodium salt is 500 ppm or less in terms of metal sodium.
