  • Publication number: 20220218619
    Abstract: Problem to be solved: To provide a whitened or opacified capsule and film without using a white pigment such as titanium dioxide. Solution: A film, a capsule and a film-forming composition characterized by containing a film-forming polymer component selected from gelatin and pullulan and an opacifying agent consisting of a water-soluble salt except calcium salt carbonate and bicarbonate, wherein the salt is selected from a sodium salt, potassium salt, an ammonium salt and a magnesium salt.

  • Publication number: 20160235994
    Abstract: A device for facilitating blood circulation by heat and electroshock and a method using thereof are provided. The device includes a host, one or more electroshock assembly, and two or more heat pads. The host has a control circuit to generate a direct current power. The electroshock assembly is electrically connected to the host and includes electroshock members as positive and negative electrodes. The electroshock members are attached to two opposite sides of a portion of a human body, so that the output current generated by the host is transmitted from the positive electrode, through the portion of the human body, to the negative electrode. The heat pads are covered on the outer surfaces of the electroshock members when the electroshock members are attached to the human body, so that the heat can be transmitted to the interior portion of the human body.
