摘要:
This invention relates to a method for inhibiting melanin formation in a subject comprising administering an effective amount of an acerola-derived polyphenol compound, an acerola polyphenol fraction, or the other polyphenol compound to a subject. This method comprises whitening the subject's skin by the inhibition of melanin formation. This method also comprises administering synergistically effective amounts of an acerola-derived polyphenol compound, an acerola polyphenol fraction, or the other polyphenol compound in combination with ascorbic acid or an ascorbic acid derivative to a subject.

A semiconductor memory device includes: a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of first transistors formed over the semiconductor substrate in a matrix configuration, each of the first transistors having a channel region; a plurality of second transistors formed over the semiconductor substrate in a matrix configuration, each of the second transistors having a channel region; and a plurality of word lines formed in parallel in a first direction, each of the word lines functioning as a word line and a gate electrode. At least two channel regions of the plurality of first transistors make contact in the first direction; and at least two channel regions of the plurality of second transistors make contact in a second direction.
摘要:
A device (e.g., a camera) loaded with a film unit operates to detect a characteristic of the film unit, such as the state of an information part of the film unit. The detection result is used as a basis to control the performance of a further operation, such as a phototaking operation or a state-setting operation for the information part.

A display apparatus in a camera for displaying photographic information using rotating elements. The display apparatus includes a rotating setting dial to rotatively set photographic information, and a display unit including pointers and pointer scales to display the photographic information set by the rotating setting dial. The pointer rotates about a fixed pointer scale in order to indicate photographic information on the pointer scale as set by the rotating setting dial. The display apparatus further includes a detector to detect a direction of rotation of the rotating setting dial, a drive unit to rotate the pointer, and a control unit to control the drive unit to rotate the pointer in the same direction as the direction of the rotating setting dial detected by the detector. In addition, the display unit may include at least one pointer which is controlled by a stepping motor to rotate the pointer in only one direction, regardless of the direction of rotation of the rotating setting dial.
摘要:
A display device of a camera automatically switches from a date display mode to a time display mode for a predetermined amount of time in a case when the photographer inputs exposure correction information, such as geographic area information, which involves a correction to account for time change with no change of data. The photographer may thus readily confirm that the time change correction has been made. The order of arrangement of the month, day, and year in the date display mode may be selected automatically according to the geographic area to conform with prevailing custom. The device may incorporate a correction feature to account for daylight saving time and may display a correction code corresponding to the geographic area and a mark indicating that daylight saving time has been selected.

Disclosed herein is a head-up display for a motor vehicle having a dashboard with a top surface, which comprises a projector enclosed in the dashboard, the projector including a light source, an object from which visual information is to be displayed and a lens, an aperture formed on the top surface of the dashboard which is covered by the lens or a transparent member for preventing dust or the like from entering thereinto, a reflecting member provided in front of a driving seat on which light projected from the projector through the aperture is reflected to produce the image of the visual information thereon, and a reflection preventing member for preventing the reflection of light entering from the outside of the vehicle on the lens of the projector or on the transparent member. An antireflection coating such as a black paint is applied on the upper surface of the reflection preventing member. The reflection preventing member being shiftable between a first position in which the member covers the lens or the transparent member to close the aperture and a second position in which the member uncovers the lens or the transparent member to open the aperture. The reflection preventing member is shifted to the second position from the first position only when the head-up display is employed. Accordingly, it can prevent external light from being reflected on the lens or the transparent member toward eyes of the driver of the vehicle.

New 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives of the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a group of the formula: ##STR2## and R.sub.2 represents an amino, lower alkylamino, cyclohexylamino, benzoylamino, mercapto or lower alkylthio group, a process for the production of them and the use of the derivatives as antiulcer agents.
摘要:
A display control apparatus capable of displaying information about an object detected from a captured image causes a display unit to display information corresponding to even an object that cannot be detected from the captured image, if the information is relevant to a query input by a user.
