Abstract: Copolymers derived from hydrophobic monomers of formula (1), and hydrophilic monomers of formulas (2) and (3), are provided The copolymers are useful as gelling agents for oils used in cosmetics and cosmetic emulsions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a copolymer used as oily gelling agent with which a stable oily gelled composition can be prepared. The copolymer of the present invention is characterized by comprising a hydrophobic monomer represented by the following general formula (1) and a hydrophilic monomer represented by the following general formula (2) and/or the following general formula (3). (In formula (1), R1 is a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group having 16 to 22 carbon atoms. R2 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.) (In formula (2), R3 is a hydrogen atom, a glyceryl group, a straight-chain or branched-chain hydroxyalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a polypropylene glycol group represented by —(C3H6O)nH (here, n is an integer of 2 to 10). R4 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.

Abstract: An inkjet recording ink, including: water; a water-soluble organic solvent; a pigment; and a phosphate group-containing copolymer, wherein the phosphate group-containing copolymer contains a structural unit represented by the following General Formula (1) and a structural unit represented by the following General Formula (2): where R1 denotes a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; M+ denotes an alkali metal ion, an organic amine ion, or a hydrogen ion; half or more of M+ in the copolymer is the alkali metal ion or the organic amine ion, the remainder of M+ is the hydrogen ion; n and m each denote an integer of 0 to 6, provided that both of n and m are not 0; and a block of (C2H4O) and a block of (C3H6O) may be exchanged with each other, where R2 denotes a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.

Abstract: An image displaying apparatus for a computer selectively executing a full-screen display or a frame display on a monitor screen is disclosed. The apparatus includes a main screen generating unit generating a predetermined main screen, a full-screen displaying unit displaying the main screen in a full-screen display, a mouse operation determining unit detecting a moving operation of the mouse to determine whether or not the moving operation is a predetermined first movement, a full-screen display detecting unit detecting whether or not the main screen is in the full-screen display, and a composite displaying unit displaying a predetermined sub-screen on the screen and the main screen downscaled so that the whole main screen is displayed on the remaining range of the screen when the mouse operation determining unit determines, during the full-screen display, that the moving operation is the first movement.

Abstract: A polyester fiber cord for reinforcing rubber, characterized in that it is a polyester fiber cord for reinforcing rubber having inner and outer adhesive layers and the inner layer portion of said adhesive layers consists of a resin layer containing a gas barrier resin of which oxygen permeation rate measured under condition of humidity of 50% RH is 10 cc·20 ?m/m2·day·atm or less, and the outer layer portion of said adhesive resin layers consists of a resin layer of which main components are an early condensate of resorcin.formaldehyde and a rubber latex, respectively.
