  • Patent number: 9885005
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a phospholipid ?-linolenic acid composition of consistent quality and having a stable supply of source material, with focus on Torula yeast, which is edible and recognized as safe, in order to resolve issues with omega 3 sources. [Means for Solving the Problem] As a result of intensive study to resolve the above-noted issues, the inventors of the present invention have discovered that a phospholipid ?-linolenic acid composition can be obtained using residue of yeast extract extracted from Torula yeast (Candida utilis), for example, which is currently produced in large quantities for application in foods, and so arrived at the present invention.

  • Patent number: 6285541
    Abstract: A capacitor integrated with connector having a capacitor element 11 from which at least two lead wires extend, a terminal board 10 having at least two connectors 13 and at least two connecting terminals 14, 15 electrically connected to each connector 13, respectively. A groove narrower than a lead wire 16 is formed in each of connecting terminals 14, 15, and a lead wire 16 is trapped in the groove. The capacitor integrating connector can be assembled with ease regardless of a shape of mounting board 4, and can substantially improve assembly efficiency and achieve lead-free connection.
