Abstract:
Disclosed are a pharmaceutical composition, cosmetic product, and food or drink product each comprising a porous ceramic obtained by combustion synthesis of a starting material comprising (1) titanium and (2) at least one member selected from the group consisting of carbon, boron, nitrogen, and silicon; a pharmaceutical composition and cosmetic product each comprising a radical- and nanobubble-containing liquid; and a blood treatment device comprising a blood flow channel for extracorporeal circulation of a patient's blood, the blood flow channel being provided with the porous ceramic above, and the porous ceramic and the blood are brought into contact with each other.
Abstract:
A method of sintering ceramics and ceramics obtained by said method. The synthesis and sintering of ceramics is simultaneously carried out utilizing the reaction heat generated when at least one metallic element selected from groups III, IVa, Va and Via groups of the Periodic Table is combined with at least one nonmetallic element such as B, C, N and Si without the input of external heat or preliminary heating of the ceramics, at temperatures remarkably lower than the usual sintering temperature, to obtain ceramics superior in abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance.
Abstract:
A plant growth-promoting and quality-improving agent is disclosed. The agent contains a water-insoluble inorganic micronutrient pulverized to a particle size of not more than a specified particle size, and is effective for a long period of time if applied a small number of times to a seed, a root, a nursery box, and a base of a plant. A method for promoting the growth and improving the quality of plants is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method of sintering metal-dispersed ceramics. The synthesis and sintering of ceramics is simultaneously carried out utilizing the reaction heat generated when at least one metallic element selected from groups III, IVa, Va and VIa groups of the Periodic Table is combined with at least one non-metallic element such as B, C, N and Si, in amounts such that the metallic powders are present at a ratio higher than the stoichiometric ratio, without the input of external heat or preliminary heating of the ceramics, at temperatures substantially lower than the usual sintering temperature, to obtain a sintered ceramics matrix with unreacted metal distributed therein.

Abstract:
A color conversion technique which places an importance on a color difference and converts an input color outside a gamut into a color inside the gamut to minimize the color difference is available. However, this technique does not determine whether the input color falls inside or outside a visual limit range. Upon processing image data between image input/output devices, image data is input (S201), it is determined whether the input image data falls outside a predetermined gamut (S204), and image data which is determined to fall outside the gamut is converted into a color on the inframarginal portion of or inside the gamut (S206).
