Abstract: A speech command generation system includes multiple speech terminals that communicate with each other via a network. Each terminal, which includes a sound pickup device and a speaker. At least one of the terminals converts local picked up sound data to text data, while delaying outputting of the sound data to a remotely communicating terminal, and determines whether the text data includes a trigger word. When the text data includes the trigger word, the outputting of the sound data to the remotely communicating terminal is inhibited.

Abstract: Provided is a method of controlling an image and sound pickup device, which is includes obtaining a plurality of audio signals and a participant image, which shows a plurality of participants, and generating location information about a sound source location by using comparison information about a comparison among the plurality of audio signals and face recognition that is performed on the participant image; and generating an estimated utterer image, which displays an estimated utterer, by using the location information.

Abstract: A stick-shaped cosmetic contains a wax composition including (A) polyethylene wax having an average molecular weight of 600 or more and (B) carnauba wax. Additionally, the stick-shaped cosmetic includes: (C) film-forming agent; (D) volatile silicone oil agent; and (E) powder. The content of the wax composition is 4% to 13% by mass with respect to the total amount of the stick-shaped cosmetic, and the content of (A) polyethylene wax having an average molecular weight of 600 or more in the wax composition is 50% to 95% by mass with respect to the total amount of wax composition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a water-in-oil type sunscreen cosmetic with superior emulsion stability, which hardly whiten the skin when applied, is easy to spread, barely oily, and have excellent applicability. The water-in-oil type sunscreen cosmetic comprises particulate zinc oxide subjected to surface hydrophobizing treatment and/or particulate titanium dioxide subjected to surface hydrophobizing treatment, silicone branched type polyglycerin-modified silicone and isostearic acid, wherein the content of the silicone branched type polyglycerin-modified silicone is 1.5-10% by mass of the total amount of the cosmetic, and the content of the isostearic acid is 0.1-10% by mass of the total amount of the cosmetic.
