Abstract: An image display device has a display panel which displays an image; a first case which accommodates the display panel; an ion generating unit which generates ion mist; a second case which accommodates therein the ion generating unit; and a blower which is disposed inside the second case, and generates an air flow for emitting the ion mist generated by the ion generating unit to outside of the second case. The second case has an inlet provided upstream in the air flow relative to the ion generating unit; and an outlet for emitting air flowing in from the inlet and including the ion mist generated by the ion generating unit to the outside of the second case. The air including the ion mist and emitted from the outlet is emitted to a viewing space in front of the display panel.

Abstract: A device mounting base comprises a main mounting unit (6) for mounting an apparatus, and a front panel (9) made of a resin material and installed on the main mounting unit (6) in a position in front of the main mounting unit (6) with a plurality of movable devices, wherein the main mounting unit (6) and the front panel (9) are engaged with a movement restraining device for restraining the front panel (9) from shifting in front of the main mounting unit (6). The movable devices absorb deformation of front panel (9) to prevent it from warping and distorting, and the movement restraining device prevents front panel (9) from shifting by the deformation even when front panel (9) deforms due to heating and cooling, or moisture absorption and dehydration.

Abstract: A device-mounted stand includes a support leg for supporting a device placed and fixed on a base, a cover disposed on the support leg in a vertically slidable manner for covering a front face of the support leg, and an elastic device applying an upward force to the cover. The elastic device makes a lower end of the device placed on the support leg and an upper end of the cover contact without any gap. This achieves the integration of the stand and the device placed on it.

Abstract: The object is to provide a highly safe NF-?B activation inhibitor at a low cost which can be used for prevention and treatment of diseases associated with the activation of NF-?B such as inflammation or type-2 diabetes. Specifically, the NF-?B activation inhibitor comprises a compound represented by the chemical structural formula depicted in the following Chemical Formula 1 [wherein R1 represents a hydroxy group; R2 represents a hydroxy group, a methoxy group or an alkoxy group; and R3 represents an ester comprising triterpene or a salt thereof] or a salt of the compound as active ingredient. A representative example of the compound is hydroxycinnamic acid derivative triterpene alcohol ester.

Abstract: From CT images having captured an abdomen, a two-dimensional characteristic space is assumed, in which X and Y axes indicate CT values of image data taken in first and second time phases different from each other. In this space, a two-dimensional histogram concerning respective pixels located at the same position in the two time phases is taken as a sample distribution of pixels. A two-variable distribution function is applied to this sample distribution, so as to estimate a matrix distribution of pixels corresponding to the whole liver region. According to this matrix distribution, a range of CT value of pixels corresponding to the liver region is estimated.
