  • Patent number: 9872550
    Abstract: To provide an applicator with an application body that is nonabsorbent and can uniformly spread and apply an application liquid over the surface to be applied on without scraping the applied liquid during application. The application body includes a membranous part that is easily deformable in applying liquid, and a cavity part enclosed by the membranous part, and constructed such that when the applying surface of the membranous part comes into contact with the surface to be applied on, the contact surface of the membranous part fits closely following the surface to be applied on by the pressure of the membranous part acting onto the contact surface of the surface to be applied on.

  • Publication number: 20060156373
    Abstract: If a scene specifying button (202) is pressed while a TV program is being viewed (S601), scene specification information including a point in time, a channel, and the like is generated (S602). The broadcast data of a scene corresponding to this scene specification information is retrieved from a related information storage section 404 (S603). The retrieved broadcast data is subjected to format conversion so as to become text data (S604). The text obtained by the format conversion is put into the body of an electronic mail (S605). After a complementary addition is made to the body of the electronic mail as necessary (S606 and S607), the electronic mail which is completed is transmitted to a destination user (S608). This makes it possible to create a mail easily and accurately, so that a communication system that fulfills the necessity of immediate response is realized.
