Abstract: There is provided a content determination assistance system capable of efficiently assisting in identifying a mixture that is highly likely to be contained in a sample. The content determination assistance system records characteristic mass spectrum data for each of known compounds. The content determination assistance system extracts the corresponding current-sample mass spectrum from the current-sample mass spectrum data, and detects a high intensity mass spectra from the corresponding current-sample mass spectrum. The content determination assistance system outputs a degree of concordance in the mass spectrum between a known compound subject to determination and a current sample using the characteristic mass spectrum and the high intensity mass spectrum.

Abstract: An acidic emulsified mayonnaise-like food of the present invention contains an esterified compound composed of a starch and a hydrolysate thereof and an alkenylsuccinic acid, and a thickening polysaccharide, wherein the content of protein is 0% by mass.

Abstract: An acidic emulsified mayonnaise-like food comprising: a) an esterified compound composed of a potato starch or a hydrolysate thereof and an alkenylsuccinic acid; b) an esterified compound composed waxy cornstarch or a hydrolysate thereof and alkenylsuccinic acid; c) thickening polysaccharide; d) an edible fat oil; e) wherein the content of protein is substantially 0%; and wherein f) the content of the esterified compounds is 1.2 to 2.2% by mass; and wherein g) the content of the thickening polysaccharide is 0.3 to 0.7% by mass; and wherein h) the content of the edible fat and oil is 50 to 70% by mass; and i) wherein the acid emulsified mayonnaise-like food is a semi-solid with a viscosity of 160,000 to 400,000 millipascal-second at 20 degrees Celsius.

Abstract: An acidic emulsified mayonnaise-like food of the present invention contains an esterified compound composed of a starch and a hydrolysate thereof and an alkenylsuccinic acid, and a thickening polysaccharide, wherein the content of protein is less than 0.5% by mass.

Abstract: A communication status confirmation system in which not only a status on call establishment or link establishment but also a communication status of actual communication in an upper layer can be simply collected in a real time is provided.A communication status confirmation system employing user data on a communication network having a plurality of data communication devices connected to a transmission path employing logical multiplexing method, wherein each of the plurality of the data communication devices comprises first means for reading logical path information of a frame of user data, second means for storing a flag set per said logical path information, and third means for reading a status of the appropriate flag from said second means, and wherein data flowing in each communication path in said communication network is confirmed according to the flag information read from said first means.

Abstract: A data processing system of client/server architecture operating on a message basis comprises client spaces capable of issuing processing requests in the form of messages, and server spaces for executing the processing as requested by checking a request code contained in the message. The request codes are previously classified into client-space dedicated codes and kernel-space dedicated codes. A message communication facility for performing message transfer between the clients and the servers includes a check function for checking whether the message originates in the kernel space when the request code contained in the message is the kernel-space dedicated code. The processing request message issued from a space other than the kernel space by using the kernel space dedicated code is rejected as an error. Security of the system can thus be assured.

Abstract: A method of making articles of furniture, which can be assembled or disassembled, by a suitable combination of a plurality of sheet-like assembling members. A single rope is passed through through-holes made in the assembling members to tighten up the members. The tractive force of the rope may be utilized in assembly or disassembly of articles of furniture. The articles as desired may be rigidly and extremely simply assembled.
