Abstract:
Provided is a power generating lamp capable of effectively use electrical energy of lighting to generate high electromotive force. A solar panel (11) which receives light emitted from a rear surface of a lamp tube (14) with a linear or annular shape and generates electromotive force is formed in an arc shape in a cross-sectional view and has a length that is equal to or less than the total length of the lamp tube in the longitudinal direction or the total length thereof in the circumferential direction and is equal to or greater than the total length of a low-temperature region of the lamp tube in the longitudinal direction or the total length thereof in the circumferential direction and a width that is equal to or greater than one-fourth of the length of the outer circumference of the cross-section of the lamp tube and equal to or less than half the length of the outer circumference. A transparent heat-resistant layer (12) is formed on a light receiving surface of the solar panel and is attached to the rear surface of the lamp tube or is arranged on the rear side of the lamp tube such that a distance between the light receiving surface and the rear surface of the lamp tube is equal to or less than 10 mm. An electric wire (11A) extracts the electromotive force of the solar panel. In this way, a power generating lamp (10) is formed.
Abstract:
A blur correction camera system includes a blur correction lens driven based upon the vibration detection signal detected by an angular velocity sensor, that corrects an image blur, a point-image function computing unit that computes a point spread function, and an image restoration computing unit that corrects an image blur by executing image restoration through image processing on a captured image by using the point spread function. The image blur that cannot be completely corrected by the blur correction lens is further corrected through image restoration so as to obtain a high quality image.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition containing riboflavin and a sesamin-class compound(s). This composition may incorporate a sesamin-class compound(s) in such an amount that the proportion (weight ratio) of its total quantity to the total quantity of riboflavin taken as unity is no more than 4.5, and it has the advantage that the analgesic and anti-fatigue actions of riboflavin are synergistically improved by ingestion of riboflavin in combination with a sesamin-class compound(s).The composition of the present invention provides compositions, in particular, pharmaceuticals as well as foods and beverages that are safe to humans, animals, etc. and can therefore be ingested for a continued period, and which have far superior effects to those of conventional foods having an analgesic or anti-fatigue action.
Abstract:
A solar panel device is provided which can be simply attached to an existing fluorescent lamp or LED lamp to construct a power-generating lamp.A solar panel device includes a solar panel (11) that has an arc band shape in a cross-sectional view with an arc length in a range which is equal to or greater than ⅕ of an outer circumference of a lamp tube (14) in a cross-sectional view and equal to or less than ½ of the outer circumference in a width direction and that receives light from a rear surface of the lamp tube and generates an electromotive force, a power supply line (12) that outputs the electromotive force of the solar panel, and a tubular base (13) that has a tube shape, that has the solar panel attached to an inner surface or an outer surface thereof in a length direction, that is externally fitted to the lamp tube to cover the lamp tube, and that holds the solar panel so that a light-receiving surface of the solar panel comes in contact with the surface of the lamp tube or is located with a gap of 10 mm or less from the surface of the lamp tube.
Abstract:
A composition incorporating at least one sesamin-class compound is enhanced in the anti-fatigue action of sesamin class compounds by additionally incorporating at least one vitamin B1 class compound. Also provided is an anti-fatigue agent containing at least one sesamin-class compound and at least one vitamin B1 class compound as the active ingredients.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to increase the rate at which lignan-class compounds are absorbed into the body, namely, to provide fast-acting lignan-class compounds.Provided is an oil-in-water emulsion which comprises a water phase and an oil phase comprising at least one kind of lignan-class compounds dissolved therein and being emulsified in the water phase, wherein the oil droplets which serve as a dispersion phase in the emulsion are made finer by high-speed agitation or other method so that their average particle size is 1000 nm or smaller, preferably 500 nm or smaller, and more preferably 300 nm or smaller, whereby the rate at which lignan-class compounds are absorbed into the body is improved to impart immediate action.
Abstract:
A method by which the physiological activities of sesamin-class compounds can be efficiently exhibited and enhanced, as well as an effective compound that can be combined with the sesamin-class compounds to this end. By using sesamin-class compounds in combination with more than specified proportions of arachidonic acid class compounds, the physiological activities of the sesamin-class compounds, for example, their anti-fatigue action is synergistically enhanced to provide compositions that are safe in humans and non-human animals and which hence can be ingested continuously.

Abstract:
Anti-fatigue agents containing dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane derivatives such as sesamin which is an ingredient contained in sesame, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and physiologically functional foods that contain such anti-fatigue agents are disclosed. These compounds can safely be administered to humans and animals alike and hence allow for continued ingestion while proving effective in promoting an improvement of stamina, an increase of body strength, a relief of fatigue, and recovery from fatigue.
