A monitoring apparatus includes a camera interface, a terminal interface, a communication interface, and a processor. The processor is configured to recognize actions of a settler at a point-of-sale terminal based on images from a camera, recognize input operations performed at the point-of-sale terminal by the settler based on information from the point-of-sale terminal and detect fraudulent acts based on a recognized action and a recognized input operation at the point-of-sale terminal. The processor outputs a fraud detection image corresponding to a detected fraudulent act to at least one of the point-of-sale terminal and an attendant terminal.

A chlorella extract, which is useful as an additive for health food or pet food, is obtained by the steps of adding 1-10 parts by weight of a cyclodextrin solution to 100 parts by weight of an extract obtained by concentrating a hot water extract of a powdery chlorella alga by a factor of two to five, kneading the thus obtained mixture under reduced pressure at 60.degree.-90.degree. C. for 10-24 hours to give a cyclodextrin clatharte and then drying and powdering the clathrate.

A process for preparation of a powdery extract of a shiitake mushroom including the steps of adding a cyclodextrin solution to a shiitake mushroom extract obtained by concentrating a hot water extract of fragments of a shiitake mushroom, kneading the mixture of the cyclodextrin solution and the shiitake mushroom extract to afford a cyclodextrin clathrate and drying and pulverizing the cyclodextrin clathrate. The powdery extract of a shiitake mushroom thus obtained contains all the active ingredients, such as physiologically active substances that are present in the hot water extract of the shiitake mushroom, and in such a condition that the active ingredients are clathrated in the cyclodextrin stably.

A shrinkage-reducing dispersing agent for use in cementitious compositions such as concrete and mortar comprising a graft polymer which is a polycarboxylic acid or a salt thereof, having side chains derived from at least one species selected from (a) oligoalkyleneglycol and/or polyalcohol and (b) polyalkylene glycols or derivatives thereof.

Cement dispersing agent

An admixture for modifying the fluidity of a cementitious mixture comprises a cement-dispersing agent which is an aqueous solution of polymer, in which solution an oxyalkylene-based defoaming agent is dissolved or dispersed in particles of no greater that 20 .mu.M diameter. The polymer is preferably a polymer which comprises units derived from unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer and the polymer is preferably prepared in the presence of the defoaming agent. Particular addition copolymers give particularly good results. The admixture permits good control of the fluidity of cementitious compositions and has extended shelf life.

Fluidity control of cementitious compositions

An additive for cementitious compositions comprises at least one sulfated polysaccharide obtained by the sulfation of a polysaccharide, preferably under moderate conditions. The additive enhances the fluidity and workability of cementitious mixes, and gives higher final compressive strength.

An aqueous solution, for use as a cement dispersing agent, of a polymer salt, which is formed by reacting a polycarboxylic acid with a nitrogenous acrylic polymer.

A fish feed additive is used which contains .beta.-carotene containing Dunaliella algae powder stabilized against oxidation and migration into the water. The fish feed is prepared by mixing 100 parts by weight of a Dunaliella algae powder with 15-50 parts by weight of a cyclodextrin while stirring. The final fish feed is obtained by blending 10 parts by weight of this additive with 200-500 parts by weight of a common fish feed. The fish feed additive is in the form of dry fine granules. The fish feed additive effectively promotes growth and delivers .beta.-carotene to the fish.

A PET bird feed additives in the form of fine granules obtained by mixing 100 parts by weight of a Dunaliella alga powder with 15 to 50 parts by weight of cyclodextrin under stirring and to 100 parts by weight of the mixed adsorbate thus obtained adding an antioxidant and a binder; a PET bird feed obtained by blending 5 to 15 parts by weight of the granules thus obtained with a common PET bird feed; and processes for producing them. In the PET bird feed additive of the present invention, the Dunaliella alga powder is in the form of a mixed adsorbate together with cyclodextrin and thus .beta.-carotene contained in the Dunaliella alga can be stably sustained and effectively utilized. Further, the offensive odor characteristic to the algae can be removed. Furthermore, the PET bird feed additive of the present invention, which is in the form of fine granules, can be easily blended with a common PET bird feed.
