  • Publication number: 20230355665
    Abstract: One solid preparation of the present invention mainly includes silicon fine particles, and has a capability of generating hydrogen. In addition, one specific example of the solid preparation mainly includes silicon fine particles having a crystallite diameter principally of 1 nm or more and 100 nm or less, and exhibits a capability of generating hydrogen in an amount of 3 ml/g or more when brought into contact with a water-containing liquid having a pH value of 7 or more. In this solid preparation, hydrogen is generated when the silicon fine particles are brought into contact with a water-containing liquid having a pH value of 7 or more. Therefore, taking advantage of the characteristics of the solid preparation, generation of hydrogen is promoted in, for example, a gastrointestinal tract where the pH value is 7 or more due to secretion of pancreatic fluid after passage through the stomach after oral ingestion.

  • Publication number: 20230334620
    Abstract: A display device is capable of switching between a first display mode and a second display mode, the second display mode having a larger display area than the first display mode. When the display mode is the first display mode in the first period, the display mode is the second display mode in the subsequent second period, and the display mode is the first display mode in the subsequent third period, an image generator (CCP_1) makes an image to be displayed at a start point of the third period to be different from an image displayed at an end point of the first period. In the third period, the image generator (CCP_1) uses a result of the processing in the second period.
