Abstract: Disclosed is a flavonoid bioabsorption-promoting composition or food/beverage which can improve the bioabsorption of quercetin or other flavonoids having antioxidant effect and is effective for the prevention of various diseases. It is found that ingestion of apple pectin can improve the bioabsorption of quercetin and other flavonoids and shows higher physiological activity. Based on this finding, a flavonoid bioabsorption-promoting composition or food/beverage can be provided, which contains apple pectin as an active ingredient and therefore can improve the bioabsorbability of a flavonoid and show a flavonoid bioabsorption-promoting activity. By using apple pectin or a food additive containing apple pectin, it becomes possible to provide a food or beverage which contains quercetin or other flavonoids, which are popularly ingested and which are classified in to a category of a processed food including a soft drink, supplement, seasoning, confectionery, and a prepared meal.

Abstract: A plurality of antennas are arranged on the fringe of a monitor supported by a device body such that the antennas are located in a floating manner from a display surface and the central axis of these directional patterns is disposed in a vertical direction to the display surface; these antennas are enclosed within the outer frame; and further electroconductive members reflecting electric waves are located away from the antennas, to thus establish a virtual GND plane to be formed on the rear of an antenna.

Abstract: Disclosed is a flavonoid bioabsorption-promoting composition or food/beverage which can improve the bioabsorption of quercetin or other flavonoids having antioxidant effect and therefore are expected to be effective for the prevention of various diseases. It is found that ingestion of apple pectin can improve the bioabsorption of quercetin and other flavonoids by about 2 times and shows higher physiological activity compared to the case where apple pectin is not ingested. Based on this finding, a flavonoid bioabsorption-promoting composition or food/beverage can be provided, which contains apple pectin as an active ingredient and therefore can improve the bioabsorbability of a flavonoid and show a flavonoid bioabsorption-promoting activity.

Abstract: A plurality of antennas 4 are arranged on the fringe of a monitor 2 supported by a device body 3 such that the antennas are located in a floating manner from a display surface 5 and the central axis of these directional patterns is disposed in a vertical direction to the display surface 5; these antennas 4 are enclosed within the outer frame 6; and further electroconductive members reflecting electric waves are located away from the antennas 4, to thus establish a virtual GND plane to be formed on the rear of an antennas 4.

Abstract: At the time of playing back a map disk, map data such as a destination route is prestored in an internal memory or external recording medium, and at the time of playing back an AV disk, the map data is read out of the internal memory or external recording medium, and the read-out map data is displayed as a lave picture, or in one of two divided monitor screen areas, together with reproduced pictures of the AV disk.

Abstract: A hybrid integrated circuit device is provided with: a microcomputer, a plurality of peripheral circuit elements, and a non-volatile memory which is positioned adjacent to the microcomputer, all of which are interconnected by a plurality of specified conductive paths; pair of integrated circuit substrates on which is formed the conductive paths and a casing provided with the pair of integrated circuit substrates secured to the upper and lower surfaces of the casing, forming a sealed space between these surfaces. The microcomputer and the peripheral circuit elements are positioned in the sealed space and only the non-volatile memory is positioned in an exposed space. The hybrid integrated circuit device of the present invention has a compact and simple form with a high degree of mounting density as well as superior handling capabilities and reliability.

Abstract: In a position closest to the mounting position of a microcomputer in a casing of a hybrid integrated circuit device on which is mounted the microcomputer and its peripheral circuit elements, an insertion hole is formed for a non-volatile memory which feeds data to the microcomputer. A socket for connecting the non-volatile memory is provided at the bottom of this insertion hole. Because of this configuration it is possible to connect the microcomputer and the non-volatile memory at an extremely short distance and the mounting efficiency of the integrated circuit device is increased. In addition, the non-volatile memory can detachably be mounted. Furthermore, the external shape of the insertion hole for the non-volatile memory is essentially the same as the external shape of the non-volatile memory so that when the non-volatile memory is inserted, the entire surface of this hybrid integrated circuit device is almost flat, providing excellent handling characteristics.
