    Abstract: Provided are a novel agent or composition and others. The agent or composition comprises caryophyllene and is used for at least one selected from the following (purposes) (1) to (3) : (1) promoting relaxation, prolonging a resting-state time, and/or prolonging a motionless time, (2) promoting sleep, and (3) preventing blood pressure elevation. The present invention also relates to a method for inhaling ?-caryophyllene simultaneously with smoking a tobacco product, characterized in that the tobacco product contains a ?-caryophyllene-containing seamless capsule in a tobacco filter, wherein the seamless capsule contains an essential oil containing ?-caryophyllene as an active ingredient. The applicants found that pulmonary inhalation of ?-caryophyllene by the above method allows ?-caryophyllene to be efficiently distributed throughout the body, leading to achievements of relaxing and sleep-inducing effects, etc.

  • Patent number: 10271705
    Abstract: Once it is determined in Step S2 that a corner has been detected, a control unit causes a body to perform a reciprocating motion and initiate corner cleaning in Step S3. Then, once it is determined in Step S4 that a rubbish detection sensor detects no rubbish, the corner cleaning is terminated in Step S6. Once it is determined in Step S4 that the rubbish detection sensor detects rubbish, the corner cleaning continues to be executed by the body being caused to perform the reciprocating motion in Step S5. In other words, an autonomous travel-type cleaner is realized that can remove a large amount of the rubbish accumulating at the corner by causing the body to perform the reciprocating motion.

  • Patent number: 8420161
    Abstract: A method for producing an anti-glare film includes applying a coating composition including at least a resin, a solvent, and fine particles to a substrate; drying the coating composition applied to the substrate so that a Benard cell structure is formed in the surface of the coating layer due to convection caused during volatilization of the solvent; and curing the resin contained in the coating composition having formed therein a Benard cell structure to form an anti-glare layer having fine irregularities with a moderate surface waviness. The anti-glare layer has a degree of white muddiness of 1.7 or less, as measured by quantitatively determining a diffuse reflection component of the diffused light incident upon the surface of the anti-glare layer.
