Abstract: A treatment device that shortens the time period until healing is determined even when a bone defect or a root apex lesion is generated in an apical area. The treatment device includes a file holder, a high-frequency signal generating circuit, and a control circuit. The file holder holds a file to be located in the site to be treated. The high-frequency signal generating circuit passes a high frequency current through the file. The control circuit controls a frequency of the high frequency current to be passed through the file from the high-frequency signal generating circuit. The control circuit controls the frequency of the high frequency current to be passed through the file within a range of 1.001 MHz to 11.700 MHz.

Abstract: The present invention has an object of providing a novel peptide that is permeable to the blood-brain barrier. The present invention provides a blood-brain barrier permeable peptide containing an amino acid sequence: SLSHSPQ (SEQ ID NO: 1) (where P may be substituted). The present invention also provides a carrier molecule for intracerebral delivery containing the peptide, a complex composed of the peptide and a target molecule that is allowed to permeate the blood-brain barrier, and a blood-brain barrier permeable composition containing the complex.

Abstract: A subject of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic for unevenness correction which has an excellent effect of concealing wrinkles and pores and correcting skin unevenness and has good compatibility with a makeup cosmetic. The present inventors have found that the cosmetic for unevenness correction which conceals wrinkles and pores and has good compatibility with a makeup cosmetic at the time of application can be easily provided by using a polyacrylate water-absorbing polymer having a specific water absorption capacity, but not a water-soluble macromolecule having a thickening effect commonly used in cosmetics, and they thus have completed the present invention.

Abstract: A device selection method includes receiving a start demand of a service from a first device, acquiring positional-information of the first device, estimating a service continuation-time of the service, based on a history of the service continuation-time corresponding to an area to which the positional-information belongs by referring to the history of the service continuation-time for which the service is continuously provided for each area, estimating a battery continuation-time of the first device, based on a remaining battery quantity of the first device and a battery consumption rate of the first device at a time of receiving the start demand, selecting the first device or a second device installed in the area to which the positional-information belongs, based on the service continuation-time and the battery continuation-time, and causing a device selected between the first device and the second device to execute sensing of media data used for the service.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide damaged hair improving agents and damaged hair improving cosmetics containing the same, capable of providing excellent improving effects on damaged hair without using cumbersome work and an expensive special component and retaining the effects for an extended period of time. It was found that by using one or more selected from specific L-ascorbic acid derivatives and salts thereof, which had been conventionally used in cosmetics as useful components due to physiological activities such as a skin-whitening effect, as hair improving agents, and further containing these in a hair cosmetic and applying the hair cosmetic to damaged hair, improving effects such as increasing the hydrophobicity on the damaged hair surface and further enhancing the smoothness of hair were exhibited. Thus, the damaged hair improving agents and the damaged hair improving cosmetics containing the same effective on damaged hair have been provided.

Abstract: A feed hub includes a priority receiving unit that acquires priority indicating degree of need of electricity feed, for each of plural terminals, a feed relation determining unit that selects two communication devices having different priorities acquired by the priority receiving unit, determines the communication device having lower priority as a feed source and the communication device having higher priority as a feed destination from the selected communication devices, an electricity switching unit that connects the feed source and the feed destination determined by the feed relation determining unit, and a feed requesting unit that requests the feed source determined by the feed relation determining unit to feed electricity.

Abstract: A method for realization of a thin client includes detecting a usage environment of a client terminal, using the detected usage environment and a predetermined policy to determine whether to realize the thin client as a screen transfer type or by a net boot type, when the screen transfer type is determined, transferring input made at the client terminal to a server and transferring results of processing by the server in accordance with the input from the server to the client terminal, and, when the net boot type is determined, transferring a program from the server to the client terminal, the program outputting results of processing at the client terminal in accordance with input from the client terminal.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for notifying observation data to an application program which includes a memory which stores observation data received from a sensor and time information corresponding to the observation data are provided. The apparatus includes an evaluation-data calculating unit which calculates amount-of-change evaluation data based on the received newest observation data and former observation data notified to the application program, a determination unit which determines whether the amount-of-change evaluation data is greater than or equal to reference change amount, and a notification unit which notifies the observation data received from the sensor to the application program when the determination unit determines that the amount-of-change evaluation data is greater than or equal to the reference change amount.
