Abstract: A system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a system for displaying a video captured by a camera connected to a network. The system is configured to set, in response to instructions from a user, a first threshold regarding the number of people staying in a target area and a second threshold regarding a period of time during which the people stay in the target area, measure the number of people staying in the target area and a period of time during which the people stay in the target area, generate a thumbnail showing a video when the number of people staying in the target area for a period of time equal to or longer than the second threshold is equal to or greater than the first threshold, and display the thumbnail generated.

Abstract: Provided is a novel compound that is contained in a young watermelon fruit and has an antioxidative effect. The novel compound that is contained in a young watermelon fruit and is represented by the formula (1) or formula (2) has an antioxidative effect and further has a skin anti-aging effect. Since these compounds are extracts from plants that are naturally edible, they are very safe for human bodies. Therefore, an antioxidative pharmaceutical composition, an antioxidative processed food composition, and an anti-skin aging composition, which contain these compounds as active ingredients, have high utility value as highly safe compositions.

Abstract: In order to provide an enamel frit composition for a low-expansion crystallized glass, capable of producing an enamel coating excellent in abrasion resistance and acid resistance without occurrence of cracks by using glass powder which does not contain any harmful component such as PbO, and to provide an enamel-coated low-expansion crystallized glass plate using the enamel frit composition, the enamel frit composition for a low-expansion crystallized glass essentially consists 40-98 wt % glass powder, 1-55 wt % coloring pigment, and 0-54 wt % filler. The glass powder consists, by weight, of 55-72% SiO.sub.2, 4-8% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 14-22% B.sub.2 O.sub.3, 2-4% BaO, 5.1-15% Na.sub.2 O, 0-2% Li.sub.2 O, 0-2.8% K.sub.2 O, and 0-2% F.sub.2.

Abstract: A fire-protection and safety composite glass panel includes a fireproof glass plate and a film of fluorocarbon resin of a chain molecular structure type. The film is bonded onto one of opposite side surfaces of the fireproof glass plate by the thermo-compression bonding. The fluorocarbon resin is a copolymer of at least three kinds of monomers. It may be arranged that another film of the fluorocarbon resin is further bonded onto the other side surface of the fireproof glass plate by the thermo-compression bonding. Another glass panel may be arranged that a plurality of fireproof glass plates are attached with a film of the foregoing fluorocarbon resin interposed between adjacent glass plates through the thermo-compression bonding. Those glass panels can be used as glass plates in fire-protective windows and doors.

Abstract: In a fire-protection and safety glass panel having a transparent appearance and dual functions as a fire protection glass for shutting out flame and smoke for a long period of time upon occurrence of fire and as a safety glass which is neither shattered into pieces and nor forms any through hole if it is broken in an ordinary life, a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film (12) is arranged between a first glass plate (10) and a second glass plate (11). The first and the second glass plates (10 and 11) and the PET film (12) are adhered through transparent acrylic adhesive agent layers (13 and 14), respectively. An intermediate resin layer comprises the PET film (12) and the adhesive agent layers (13 and 14) and has a thickness between 75 and 200 .mu.m.
