An object is to provide a cosmetic composition that: has a high soft focus effect, a high skin beautifying effect, and a high moisture retaining effect; is safe; and enables reduction in environmental impact. Yeast cell wall particles retaining shapes of yeast cell walls and having an average particle diameter ranging from 1 to 25 &#x3bc;m are prepared and blended in a cosmetic composition.

Cosmetic composition

A vehicle information processing unitcollects vehicle information, which is information relating to the discharge amount of exhaust gas of at least one at any of a predetermined point, a predetermined section, and a predetermined period of time. An ecological traveling history DBaccumulates the vehicle information collected by the vehicle information processing unitfor each point through which the vehicle has traveled. A display devicedisplays the vehicle information accumulated in the ecological traveling history DBby an image on a map including each point for each point through which the vehicle has traveled. Therefore, it becomes possible to allow a driver to recognize previous traveling performance at the point through which the vehicle has traveled, and to more effectively provide the driver with a guide or a motivation to perform ecological traveling, thereby providing a more useful in-vehicle apparatus which allows the driver to perform ecological traveling.

In-vehicle apparatus and information processing center

The invention provides an information providing device and an information providing system which can provide suitable destination information according to the utilization situation of a user. The information providing device is an information providing device mounted on a vehicle and provides information on potential destinations. An information providing unit which provides information on a potential destination in accordance with the performance of electronic payment at a destination after traveling assistance is provided. By providing this information on a potential destination, a potential destination can be selected on the basis of information on a destination for which traveling assistance has actually been provided and which has been utilized, information on the potential destination can be provided, and information on a suitable potential destination according to the actual utilization situation of a user can be provided.

Information providing device and information providing system

A navigation devicehaving a function to modify a route comprises an operational object detecting partconfigured to detect a point or a section on the route as an operational object, a fixed point setting partconfigured to set as fixed points two points on the route sandwiching the operational object therebetween, an operational object displacement detecting partconfigured to detect a displacement of the operational object, a path changing partconfigured to change a path of the route depending on the displacement of the operational object while elongating or contracting a line connecting the operational object and the fixed point, and a route re-searching partconfigured to re-search and display an alternate route continuously depending on the changing path.

Navigation device

A sleeper timer for the source equipment of audio/visual apparatuses such as a cassette tape deck, CD player, AM/FM tuner, and video disk play incorporates an auto sleep mode where the source equipment are turned off as soon as the source equipment completes its operation, and a conventional sleep timer mode where the source equipment are turned off when a predetermined length of time of a timer expires.
