  • Patent number: 7488499
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hair growth inhibitor and a depilation accelerator, each comprising a crude drug selected from Bupleuri Radix, Perillae Herba, Rhel Rhizoma and Akebiae Caulis, or an extract thereof. This inhibitor or accelerator makes it possible to inhibit the growth of body hair or promote depilation, respectively, thereby reducing the frequency of hair removal treatment. Moreover, it makes the hair body finer, thereby facilitating the removal of the hair from feet or arms.

  • Patent number: 7465215
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sponge blasting apparatus comprising: a recovering unit which sucks and recovers a blasting medium jetted out of a nozzle; a sorting unit which sorts the blasting medium sucked and recovered by the recovering unit into a reusable blasting medium and an unreusable blasting medium; a blower which gives a sucking force to the recovering unit via the sorting unit; a dust collector which removes dust from an exhaust air discharged from the sorting unit with a sucking force of the blower; a picking-apart unit which picks apart the reusable blasting medium sorted by the sorting unit; a continuous feeder which, having at least two reservoir tanks into which the reusable blasting medium picked apart by the picking-apart unit is inputted, changes over the two tanks between each other to continuously feed the nozzle with the blasting medium deposited in the tanks; and a carrier which carries to the continuous feeder the reusable blasting medium sorted by the sorting unit.

  • Publication number: 20070273464
    Abstract: New and useful alignment method and system for electromagnets used in the high energy accelerator that can make the installation simple and less time consuming are disclosed. By measuring the multiple of measurement reference points for obtaining the position and posture information of the electromagnet on the high energy accelerator, the deviation of the present value from the installation target value for the electromagnet within the reference coordinates in the building. For each of the adjustment mechanisms such as the multiple of adjustment bolts or the actuators, the Jacobian matrix representing the relationship between the unit operation amount and the posture changes of the electromagnet is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6243263
    Abstract: A heat radiation device for a thin electronic apparatus includes a rectangular plate-shaped base, a rectangular intermediate plate stacked on the base, a rectangular box-shaped cover stacked on the intermediate plate, and a fan. A depression is formed at a center portion of the base. A plurality of parallel fins are provided to form a discharge port for cooling air. The depression and the discharge port are connected via an arcuate communication portion. A circular opening is formed in the intermediate plate at a position corresponding to that of the depression, and the fan is attached to the circular opening. The intermediate plate and the base are connected together such that heat can be conduced therebetween. When the end surface of a side plate provided at each longer side of the cover is caused to abut the intermediate plate and/or the base, an intake port for cooling air is formed at a shorter side of the cover.

  • Patent number: 6067227
    Abstract: A heat sink mounted on a heat producing element for cooling the heat producing element attached on the printed board of the electronic apparatus, having a heat sink body made of a good heat conductive material and a fan assembly installed inside the heat sink body. The heat sink body is efficiently air-cooled by a cooling air generated by the rotation of the fan assembly. The cooling air forcibly cools a base and a fixing wall of the base adjacent to the heat producing element and plate-like radiating fins or a pin-like radiating fins are protruded on the heat sink body to radiate the heat effectively. The position of the fan assembly is at the center of the heat sink body or is at the offset position from the center of the heat sink body. The heat sink of the present invention can be installed in a portable electronic apparatus such as a portable computer.
