Abstract: An injection molding device includes an injection device including a cylinder, a screw, and a nozzle provided at a front end of the cylinder, for discharging molten resin as the screw advances, a mold including a molded product cavity, and a resin channel between the molded product cavity and a portion abutting the nozzle, a channel pressure measuring device for acquiring channel pressure data in the resin channel, and a determination unit that determines presence/absence of clogging of a gate of the resin channel, based on features of the channel pressure data.

Abstract: It is an object to provide an L-ascorbic acid derivative which can keep the L-ascorbic acid stable to heat and light and thus has a long shelf life, which is high in permeability into the skin, which can be quickly hydrolyzed by phosphatase, an enzyme that is ubiquitous in vivo, and which exhibits physiological activities that are inherent to L-ascorbic acid and beneficial to health, a method for producing such an L-ascorbic acid derivative, and a skin-whitening cosmetic material. There is provided an ascorbic acid derivative comprising an L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate ester or a salt thereof wherein the phosphate ester has a branched alkyl group, the L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate ester being of formula [13].

Abstract: A small-sized magnetic field generator which is suitable for mass production and provides better output stability. A plurality of coils are formed on a non-magnetic insulating material by depositing at least one layer of conductive film in a spiral pattern. A hollow is made in the center of each coil, so that a plurality of main magnetic cores are arranged on the insulating substrate, with their ends fit into those hollows. By supplying appropriate electrical signals to drive the coils individually, their combined magnetic field can be controlled to have an arbitrary distribution. This combined magnetic field is applied to a magneto-optical target device held on the insulating material.

Abstract: A karaoke apparatus is provided in which a plurality of singers can sing at a time and superiority/inferiority of singing voices can be matched. One karaoke music piece is performed, and two persons sing the music piece at a time by using different microphones. Singing voice signals input through the two microphones are respectively scored, and characters displayed on a screen are caused to fight based on the score results. If the point of the singer having microphone is higher, an animation in which character attacks character is displayed. If the singing point of microphone is higher, animation in which character attacks character is displayed.
