摘要:
The present invention provides an efficient method for industrially producing a naturally-derived carotenoid composition with a large amount of a carotenoid such as astaxanthin from a culture of a yeast of the genus Xanthophyllomyces without requiring any special extraction equipment and any complicated refinement process and without any need for organic solvents harmful to humans. Provided is a method for producing a carotenoid composition, including the steps of washing a carotenoid-containing yeast of the genus Xanthophyllomyces with an organic solvent (A) at 30° C. or lower, and extracting a carotenoid from the washed yeast with an organic solvent (B) at 10° C. to 70° C.

The present invention provides a hair cosmetic composition contains (A) a di-long-chain cationic surfactant represented by formula (1); (B) an ethylene oxide adduct of 1,2-alkanediol represented by formula (2) and/or an N-acyl-N-methylmonoethanolamide represented by formula (3); and (C) a hydrophobicized alkyl cellulose represented by formula (4) and/or a cationic polymer represented by formula (5), and (D) water (chemical formulas not shown). The hair cosmetic composition has remarkably high safety and excellent stability. In addition, the composition exhibits excellent spreadability over hair upon application thereof and can finish hair with suppleness and less stickiness. Also, even when the composition has a low base material content, a lamellar liquid crystal structure can be formed. Quite surprisingly, the hair cosmetic composition can provide hair with conditioning effects together with excellent viscoelasticity and shows such excellent performance as to cause no problem even though the rinsing step is omitted.

Plural nodes are arranged at predetermined initial positions, and feature values at plural sampling points around each node are obtained as a node feature value of each corresponding node. An error estimator indicating displacement between the current position of each node and the position of corresponding feature point is obtained based on correlation information on a difference between the node feature value obtained in a state in which the plural nodes are arranged at correct positions of the corresponding feature points and the node feature value obtained in a state in which the plural nodes are arranged at wrong positions of the corresponding feature points in a learning image, correlation information on a difference between the correct position and the wrong position, and a node feature value of each node. The position of each feature point is estimated in an input image based on the error estimator and the current position of each node.

A hair dye composition comprising a component (A), which is a specified long-chain acyl sulfonic acid salt anionic surfactant, in an amount of 0.1 to 10.0 wt. %; a component (B), which is an aliphatic alcohol, in an amount of 0.25 to 25.0 wt. %; and a component (C), which is an acid dye and/or a natural dyestuff. The hair dye composition is stable even in a strongly acidic region (pH 1.5 to 4.5) where it exerts a dyeing effect. It has an appropriate viscosity and provides excellent sensation upon use. Furthermore, the composition can be easily rinsed off after use thereof.

A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a first cell spanning one of the p-wells and one of the n-wells adjacent to each other, and having one end on a dividing line inside the p-well and another end on a dividing line inside the n-well, and having a height determined by the one end and the another end; and a second cell, spanning another one of the p-wells and another one of the n-wells adjacent to each other, with a height covering the entire widths of the p- and n-wells measured along the column direction, the height of the second cell is double that of the first cell.
摘要:
A process for easily and industrially advantageously producing a high-purity 2-aralkyl-3-acetylthiopropionic acid and a high-purity 2-aralkylpropionic acid having a leaving group in the 3-position from easily available compounds. A 2-aralkyl-1-propanol having a sulfonyloxy group or halogen atom in the 3-position is oxidized with a permanganate under acidic conditions to produce a high-purity 2-aralkylporpionic acid having sulfonyloxy or the halogen in the 3-position. This acid is reacted with a thioacetate in the presence of water to produce a high-purity 2-aralkyl-3-acetylthiopropionic acid.

A floatable structure propelling mechanism is combined with a floatable structure filled with helium gas to propel the floatable structure for flying in the air. The floatable structure propelling mechanism comprises a pair of lateral fins supported for swing motion respectively on the opposite sides of a middle portion of the floatable structure. The driving mechanism for driving the lateral fins for swing motion alternately in opposite direcitons in a vertical plane comprises a rotative driving unit provided near the lower surface of the middle portion of the floatable structure. The rotative driving unit includes a double crankshaft which is rotated by the driving unit, first connecting rods fixed to the lateral fins, respectively, and second connecting rods interconnecting the crank pin portions of the double crankshaft and the free ends of the first connecting rods, respectively. The lateral fins include a framework which permits flexing of each lateral fin to relax the fin and decrease resistance to air during upward motion. During downward motion, the framework of the lateral fins attains a rigid configuration to tension the lateral fin and provide improved lift for propelling the floatable structure for flying.
