Abstract: A display control apparatus enabling a desired item to be displayed with excellent visibility by means of a simple operation is provided. An interface 1 of a terminal apparatus SV acquires associated information in which an orientation of display on a display D, a moving direction of an operation position to a touch panel TP, and a display state on the display D controlled by movement of the operation position are associated with each other. The interface 1 also acquires direction information indicating the moving direction of the operation position. A control unit 3 controls the display state on the display D in accordance with the orientation of the display and the moving direction indicated by the direction information based on the associated information.

Abstract: A method for preparing a Eucalyptus extract which decreases the Eucalyptus-specific odor and obtains the effective ingredient in high purity and high yield as a physiologically-active ingredient. An essential oil constituent is removed from the Eucalyptus plant and the residue is extracted with water or an organic solvent aqueous solution. Next, the obtained extraction residue is further extracted with an organic solvent aqueous solution or an organic solvent, whereby Macrocarpal A, Macrocarpal B, and Macrocarpal C contained in the Eucalyptus as a physiological active substance are prepared in higher content than using conventional methods. Further, the extract has improved good taste, appearance, and other desirable properties.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a preventive agent for atopic dermatitis and food products containing the agent. The present inventors conducted extensive studies and, as the result, found that atopic dermatitis can be prevented by orally ingesting collagen. The present invention provides a preventive agent for atopic dermatitis comprising collagen and food products containing the preventive agent for atopic dermatitis.

Abstract: Provided is an oral composition having a tongue coating removing effect and a strong bad breath removing effect. An oral composition having a tongue coating removing action, characterized by containing an extract of eucalyptus, a plant of the Myrtaceae family, as an essential ingredient.

Abstract: To provide a composition for treatment and/or prevention of skin disorder, intensive research has been conducted. As a result, a mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) pericarp extract has been found to have a reducing effect on the skin disorder. The present invention provides a composition for treatment and/or prevention of skin disorder, the composition including a mangosteen pericarp extract.

Abstract: A multifunction card device has an external connection terminal, an interface controller, a memory, and the security controller connected to the interface controller and the external connection terminal. The interface controller has a plurality of interface control modes, and controls an external-interface action and a memory interface action by the control mode according to the instruction from the outside. The external connection terminals have an individual terminal individualized for every interface control mode, and a communalized common terminal. A clock input terminal, a power supply terminal, and an earthing terminal are included in the common terminals. A data terminal, and a dedicated terminal of the security controller are included in the individual terminals. Partial communalization and individualization of an external connection terminal attain a guarantee of the reliability of an interface, and increase control of physical magnitude to some kinds of interface control modes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a memory card equipped with an interface controller connected to external connecting terminals, a memory connected to the interface controller, and a security controller connected to the interface controller. A second external connecting terminal capable of supplying an operating power supply to the security controller is provided aside from a first external connecting terminal which supplies an operating power supply to the interface controller and the memory. An interface unit of the interface controller connected to the security controller receives the operating power supply from the second external connecting terminal and thereby enables a stop of the supply of the operating power supply from the first external connecting terminal. Even if the supply of the operating power supply to the interface controller is cut off, the output of the interface unit is not brought to an indefinite state.

Abstract: Provided are a deodorizing composition which contains a highly safe natural plant extract that can be used in foods without anxiety as an active ingredient, and has a high deodorization effect even under a neutral condition, and a food and drink article containing the deodorizing composition. The deodorizing composition is characterized by containing a plant belonging to the genus Rubus in the family Rosaceae and peroxidase.

Abstract: An antenna connection function for a noncontact interface is provided by suppressing a modification in a pin arrangement and a pin shape of a memory card that does not correspond to the noncontact interface. Two antenna connecting pins having the memory card are divided into two areas in which a size of one potential supply pin is the largest and used as a split pin arranged at intervals. Because a size of the two antenna connecting pins is at maximum as large as the size of the potential supply pin, the two antenna connecting pins are provided and the memory card that corresponds to the noncontact interface is obtained by devoting a pin area having the size of the one potential supply pin to the memory card that does not correspond to the noncontact interface. Accordingly, the pin area of the memory card that corresponds to the noncontact interface can be formed without departing from the pin area of the memory card that does not correspond to the noncontact interface.

Abstract: To provide a prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for atopic dermatitis with minimal concerns of adverse drug reactions and high safety, various researches were conducted. As a result, it was found that an extract extracted from a mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) peel with a polar solvent prevented or healed atopic dermatitis. That is, the present invention provides a prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for atopic dermatitis comprising an extract extracted from a mangosteen peel with a polar solvent. Furthermore, the present invention provides a food containing the above-mentioned prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for atopic dermatitis.
