Abstract: A dermatological topical agent, including granular gel capsules and a liquid. The granular gel capsules include a non-volatile oil agent, and the liquid includes a volatile medium. The granular gel capsules are dispersed in the liquid. A content of the non-volatile oil agent in the granular gel capsules is 1.5 mass % or more based on a total mass of the dermatological topical agent, a content of the non-volatile oil agent in the liquid is 0 mass % or more and 14 mass % or less based on the total mass of the dermatological topical agent, and a content of an aqueous thickener in the liquid is 0 mass % or more and 0.25 mass % or less based on the total mass of the dermatological topical agent.

Abstract: Provided is a water-in-oil emulsified sunscreen cosmetic having easiness to spread while applying and is unlikely to decrease SPF value when the applied site is wet with water while containing a high content of the hydrophobized ultraviolet scattering agent. A water-in-oil emulsified sunscreen cosmetic containing the following components (A), (B), (C), and (D): (A) 10 mass % or more and 50 mass % or less of a hydrophobized ultraviolet scattering agent, (B) a dipolyhydroxystearic acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol, (C) 35 mass % or more and 85 mass % or less of a liquid oil agent, and (D) water; wherein a mass ratio of the component (B) to the component (A), [(B)/(A)], is 0.01 or more and 0.2 or less.

Abstract: A transfer device includes: a determination unit configured to determine, if a data packet including content and list information is received as a response to a transferred request packet, whether or not the content can be transmitted to a transfer device that has transmitted the request packet, based on an identifier of the transfer device that has transmitted the request packet and the list information. The list information included in the data packet is generated based on an identifier of a transfer device to which the content included in the data packet can be transmitted, of a plurality of transfer devices in the content distribution system, or is generated based on an identifier of a transfer device to which the content included in the data packet cannot be transmitted.

Abstract: A pushing-out apparatus for an extendible mast includes a mast storing unit, a mast pushing-out unit and a mast pushing-out driving unit. The storing unit stores an extendible mast including stages of foldable trusses in a state that the stages are folded. The pushing-out unit is stored in the storing unit around the stage-folded mast stored in the storing unit. The driving unit moves the pushing-out unit to a projecting position in an outside of the storing unit while the stages of the mast are folded, sequentially extend out the folded stages of the mast stored in the storing unit by the pushing-out unit from the storing unit and push out the extended stages from the pushing-out unit of the projecting position in a side of the pushing-out unit opposing to the storing unit.

Abstract: A method of precisely measuring the track twist of a track on which a vehicle for commercial operation is travelling using this vehicle is to be provided. The method includes measuring a condition of a track (R) on which a vehicle for commercial operation (100) is travelling using this vehicle (100). The vehicle for commercial operation includes a bogie (10). The bogie includes four wheels (1) and primary springs (2) provided to correspond to the four wheels (1) and support the corresponding wheels (1), and is capable of measuring a wheel load of each of the four wheels (1). The method includes the steps of: measuring the wheel load of each wheel (1) (S13); calculating the displacement of each primary spring (2) based on the measured wheel load (S15); and calculating the track twist (h) of the track (R) based on the calculated displacements of the primary springs (2) (S18).

Abstract: One embodiment provides an access-control framework for publishing and obtaining a collection of encrypted data in encrypted form. During operation, a content consumer can obtain a Manifest object for a data collection, such that the Manifest includes references to a set of encrypted Content Objects of the data collection, and includes one or more Access Control Specifications (ACS) that each specifies a decryption protocol for decrypting one or more Content Objects of the data collection. The consumer can disseminate Interest messages to receive encrypted Content Objects listed in the Manifest over an Information Centric Network (ICN). The client can also obtain, from the Manifest, an ACS associated with a respective encrypted Content Object, and decrypts the respective encrypted Content Object using the decryption protocol specified in the ACS.

Abstract: A vehicle abnormality detecting apparatus 1 includes wheel load sensors 11 that are attached to right and left rails R constituting a track to measure wheel loads of wheels 3 provided in a vehicle 2; and a calculation unit 12 that is connected to the wheel load sensors 11. An index represented by wheel loads of a pair or more of right and left wheels 3 provided in at least one of bogies 4 and defined according to a type of vehicle abnormality as an index for detecting the vehicle abnormality is previously stored in the calculation unit 12. The calculation unit 12 calculates a value of the stored index from the wheel loads measured by the wheel load sensors 11 and transmitted from the wheel load sensors 11, and detects the abnormality of a running vehicle based on the calculated value of the index.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for facilitating network coding in an information centric network. During operation, the system sends, from a content consumer node, one or more interests for a plurality of chunks associated with a content object. A respective interest indicates the corresponding chunk using a hierarchically structured variable length identifier which comprises contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level. In response, the system then receives a number of network-coded data packets, wherein a respective data packet corresponds to an independent linear combination of all the chunks for the content object. The system subsequently re-constructs the content object based on the received data packets.
