Consumer products having fragrance that can develop distinguishable odor patterns which are separately detectable. Scent dynamics allow the consumer with one and the same product to experience different scent experiences during a single application. The limited range and monotony of odor associated with the conventional perfumed consumer products is thereby completely broken.

Conventional perfumed consumer products are characterized by a uniform odor throughout the entire product. Consumer products are described that comprise at least two differently smelling perfume oils which are not evenly distributed in the product in proportion to one another. This allows the consumer to produce, using one and the same product, a variety of odors during applications and overcome the monotony of the olfactory experience associated with conventional perfumed consumer products.

The glazed element has at least one heating border on at least one face of at least one glass sheet, and the border is covered by the section and joined to the section by a heat-conducting seal.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating, preventing and improving the condition and aesthetic appearance of skin, particularly, treating, preventing, ameliorating, reducing and/or eliminating fine lines and/or wrinkles of skin, where the compositions include natural plant constituents which increase expression levels genes associated with the dermatological signs of aging. The compositions of the invention are topically applied to the skin, or are delivered by directed means to a site in need thereof, once daily in an amount effective in improving the condition and aesthetic appearance of skin.

Disclosed is a method, system, and program for reducing toner in an image comprised of raster pel data. A determination is made of pels surrounding subject pels. For each subject pel, a sub-pulse width power is generated to charge a sub-pel region within the subject pel based on a pattern of the surrounding pels of the subject pel. Further, for each subject pel, position information is generated indicating an alignment of the sub-pel region in the pel. The position information is used to position the sub-pel region produced by the sub-pulse width power in the pel.

A sheet processing apparatus for an image forming apparatus is configured so as to be capable of preventing the misalignment of the end edge of sheets to be scooped and transported from an intermediate tray, and reliably preventing the so-called displacement of end edges in the post-processing steps of sheets as a recording medium with an image formed thereon, and thereby preventing the inferior appearance during binding. A sheet folding apparatus enables a user to easily adjust the misalignment of the fold line of sheets that occurs during actual use, in the middle folding processing steps of sheets as a recording medium with an image formed thereon.

An object of the invention is to provide an optical pressure-sensitive adhesive that is for use in pressure-sensitive adhesive attached optical films and so on, includes an acrylic copolymer and is less likely to cause display unevenness in the peripheral portion of a display screen. An optical pressure-sensitive adhesive, comprising: an acrylic copolymer containing alkyl (meth)acrylate (a1) and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)(meth)acrylamide (a2) as a monomer unit.

An area light source comprising an LED primary light source (2), a plate-like light guide (4) and a light deflector (6) is provided with a direct light incoming prevention means closed of a light-blocking member (9). The light guide (4) has a light incoming end face (41) and a light outgoing face (43) and guides a light emitted from the LED primary light source (2). The light deflector (6) is arranged adjacently to the light outgoing face (43) and has a light entering face (61) and a light exiting face (62). The direct light incoming prevention means prevents a light, which is emitted from the LED primary light source (2), from entering into the light deflector (6) without passing through the light guide (4). The light-blocking deflector (9) is disposed on a first region of the light outgoing face (43) which is located near the edge of the light incoming end face side of the light outgoing face (4). The surface of the light-blocking member (9) facing the light outgoing face (43) is a diffusing reflective surface. The light deflector (6) is disposed on a second region of the light outgoing face (43) where the light-blocking member (9) is not arranged.

Interior parts for vehicles such as a front pillar garnish having a mounting bracket 32 to which a mounting clip 40 is connected so that the front pillar garnish is mounted to a front pillar. The mounting bracket 32 is formed on the inner side (that faces the front pillar) of the garnish main body 30 and has an inclined guiding portion 70 in its accommodating space 36 so that the flexible portion 46 of the mounting clip 40 inserted into the accommodating space 36 is bent inside the mounting bracket 32 by the inclined guiding portion 70, and the second engaging portion 50 at the distal end of the flexible portion 46 is prevented from contacting the garnish main body 30 by way of the opening 72 of the mounting bracket 32, thus allowing the mounting clip 40 not to be forcibly pressed against the garnish main body 30.

New platform comprising a dental implant (1) and associated parts characterised in that both the implant (1) and the associated parts have a reduced diameter that makes them suitable for certain applications, particularly for treating narrow areas of a bone crest. In order to be able to achieve a dental implant (1) and associated parts that are narrow but still robust and reliable. certain characteristics and geometrical forms of the dental implant (1) and the associated parts have been readjusted or optimized.

A surface light source device 1 for illuminating a liquid crystal display panel LP comprises a light guide plate 2, primary light source 3, reflection sheet 4 and prism sheet 5. First and second emission promotion regions P1, P2 are formed according to an intermingling distribution so that a major face of the light guide plate 2 provides an emission promotion face. Regions P2 are provided with a smaller emission promotion power as compared with that of regions P1. Ration of covering density of regions P1 to that of regions P2 is set as to vary depending on position in the emission promotion face. Regions P1 are shaped like dome projections tops of which are roughened. Regions P2 are shaped like dome projections or recesses surface of which are provided with a smoothness greater as compared with the surfaces of regions P2. Regions P2 are formed so that they cover among regions P1 without blank in the vicinity of an incidence face 2A to prevent edges from bringing reflective appearance. Distribution of anti regions P1 is set so that brightness distribution is flattened over the emission face 2C.

Images captured by multiple cameras installed on a vehicle are combined, and an image of the ground is projected onto a plane and is displayed around a vehicle display portion. In the vehicle display portion, actual images of portions of the vehicle may be displayed in a front area, a rear area, a left-side area, and/or a right-side area. A vehicle illustration image is displayed in the area surrounded by the actual images of the portions of the vehicle. Since the vehicle actual images are displayed at the perimeter of the vehicle display portion, it is easy for an operator who views a display screen to recognize the positional relationships between the perimeter of the vehicle and obstacles outside the vehicle perimeter.
