Abstract: A detector for detecting an object that may be feared to or about to be caught by a closing door such as a slide door of a vehicle incorporates a capacitance sensor with a directionality characteristic in the direction of its detection surface. The detector has a main body enclosing detection electrodes, an insulating material placed in between and a shield electrode serving to provide the directionality. A protective cover may cover the shield electrode and the detection electrodes. A water-repellant finish may be provided at least on a portion of the outer surface of the main body including the detection surface for preventing water drops from remaining or becoming larger. A plurality of mutually adjacent protrusions may be formed on the protective cover with thickness decreasing in the direction of protrusion for making it difficult for water drops to remain.

Abstract: A cellular phone unit (1) is provided with ID information input means for accepting an input of user ID information, ID judging means for judging whether or not the inputted user ID information is identical to pre-registered ID information, authentication information transmission permitting means for deciding whether or not to permit transmission of sender authentication information in accordance with the judgment result, and authentication information transmitting means for sending the sender authentication information in accordance with the decision.

Abstract: A capacitance sensor with a directionality characteristic in the direction of its detection surface is incorporated in a detector for detecting an object that may be feared to or about to be caught by a closing door such as a slide door of a vehicle. The capacitance sensor has a main body enclosing detection electrodes, an insulating material placed in between and a shield electrode serving to provide the directionality. A water-repellant finish is provided at least on a portion of the outer surface of the main body including the detection surface for preventing water drops from remaining or becoming larger. The detection surface may be unevenly shaped with protrusions for making it difficult for water drops to remain attached.

Abstract: A reinforced mica paper includes reinforced mica paper as a base material obtained by mechanically pulverizing muscovite mica or phlogopite mica to form scaly mica and making the scaly mica into paper, a reinforcing material layer formed on at least one surface of the base material, and an adhesive coated on and impregnated in the reinforcing material layer and consisting of a mixture obtained by mixing arbitrary amounts of a silicone resin, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum silicate, potassium titanate, and a soft mica powder. A method of manufacturing the reinforced mica paper is also disclosed.

Abstract: A detection device comprising a detection wall member for sensing a predetermined existence of an object adjacent to the device, detection electrode member including a detection electrode and a ground electrode which are disposed in the detection wall member, oscillation circuit member including a resonance circuit associated with a capacitance between the detection and ground electrodes, and detection circuit member for detecting change of oscillation of the oscillation circuit member by change of the capacitance between the electrodes so that the predetermined existence of the object adjacent to the detection wall member is detected by the device.

Abstract: A method for the production of a milk-containing acid syrup which has a stable dispersion of protein and which syrup is consumed by diluting with water or carbonated water for drinking is disclosed. The milk-containing acid syrup is produced by causing an added sugar to be contained in the amount of from 20 to 52 w/w% in an acidified milk which satisfies the conditions 0.85.ltoreq..times..ltoreq.2.55, y.ltoreq.-0.27x+4.15 (x denotes the casein content in the acidified milk and y the pH value of the acidified milk) and heating the resultant mixture (sugar-added acidified milk) at 100.degree. to 160.degree.
