Abstract: To provide a cosmetic whose moisture-retaining property can be sufficiently secured even in cases where the cosmetic uses a hyaluronic acid compacted by neutralization of carboxyl groups of hyaluronic acid using a salt. A cosmetic of the present disclosure comprises a first agent containing at least one salt selected from the group consisting of an inorganic salt and an organic acid salt, and hyaluronic acid; and a second agent for swelling the hyaluronic acid, the second agent containing a chelating agent.

Abstract: A needle-shaped projection-including part (1), which is configured to inject a liquid to a target object, the needle-shaped projection-including part including: a plate (111) in which a vertically penetrating discharge hole (114) is formed; one or a plurality of fine needle-shaped projections (112) that project from one face of the plate (111); and a lip portion (113) that is formed at an outer edge portion of the one face of the plate (111), wherein in response to pushing out of the liquid from the discharge hole (114), the liquid spreads in a space defined by the target object, the lip portion (113), and the one face of the plate (111), and the liquid enters the target object through holes formed by the one or plurality of needle-shaped projections (112).

Abstract: There is provided a cosmetic comprising a hyaluronic acid particle, which can maintain a non-invasively excellent moisture retaining property over a long period of time. A cosmetic of the present disclosure comprises an aqueous medium, and a hyaluronic acid particle dispersed in the aqueous medium, wherein the average particle diameter of the hyaluronic acid particle is 200 nm or less.

Abstract: A touch sensor with an ornament includes a transparent substrate with a flat center part and a raised outer rim part, and a film substrate based transparent conductive sensor with a transparent conductive film layer attached to the inner face of the transparent substrate. A transparent conductive film layer circuit of the transparent conductive film layer is formed at the flat center part, and a routing circuit for detecting an electric signal from the transparent conductive film layer circuit and a decorative print layer for concealing the routing circuit are formed at the raised outer rim part.

Abstract: A user is made to select among a retrieval of a knowledge data base, an inquiry through an electronic mail, and receipt of an answer to an inquiry through a telephone. This selection may be made through a homepage. When the user has selected a telephone call as a mode of receiving the answer, the operator makes a telephone call to the user using the operator's terminal.

Abstract: An arrangement is made so that, from an inquiry screen of the home page of the Web server, a selection is made among a retrieval of a knowledge data base, an inquiry through an electronic mail and a receipt of an answer through telephone, and in the case when the answer through telephone is selected in the home page, the corresponding one of operator terminals automatically calls out to the telephone of the user; therefore, it becomes possible to readily respond to an inquiry received through telephone, an electronic mail or a home page efficiently in a versatile manner.
