Abstract: A method for stabilizing an agent for contact lenses containing a proteolytic enzyme by adding a surfactant to a solution containing an effective amount of a proteolytic enzyme, the production of a lyophilized agent for contact lenses containing a proteolytic enzyme, which comprises subjecting an aqueous composition containing a proteolytic enzyme to a lyophilizing treatment in the presence of a surfactant, and a lyophilized agent for contact lenses which contains a proteolytic enzyme and a surfactant. The method of the present invention enables stable preservation of a proteolytic enzyme in a liquid form. In addition, cleaning, sterilization and preservation can be simultaneously performed with a single solution, wherein an efficient removal of soil is achieved by only immersing contact lenses in the agent in a solution state. Accordingly, the agent of the present invention is advantageously used with ease by simple handling. The method for producing the lyophilized agent of the present invention enables stabilization of a proteolytic enzyme during preparation into a lyophilized formulation. Furthermore, the lyophilized agent of the present invention permits the proteolytic enzyme to remain stable and is extremely superior in solubility. When preserved as an aqueous solution, the stability of the enzyme can be maintained over a long period of time due to the action of a surfactant contained therein.

Abstract: An apparatus for reproducing video, audio and accompanying characters, suitable for use as a sing-along or karaoke apparatus, uses pre-stored display patterns, such as animal figures, instead of video segments. Thus, the apparatus does not have to rely upon the availability of video software that contains song lyrics as well as matching video segments. The apparatus is inexpensive to manufacture since the hardware related to reading and processing an optical image recording disk is not needed. The apparatus also uses the animation patterns on the screen to inform users about the beginning of the music program. Specifically, the changes in the motion and moving speed of display patterns inform the user of the start time of a selected music program. The animation patterns may be displayed during introduction and intermission period, and even during music performance.
