Abstract: An inventory management system according to an embodiment comprises: a weight measurer configured to measure a weight of a shelf on which an item can be placed; and an RF tag configured to transmit a wireless signal including information related to the weight measured by the weight measurer in response to a read request from a wireless device, wherein the RF tag includes a transceiver configured to generate power by a received electromagnetic wave or magnetic field and transmit the wireless signal to the wireless device by using the generated power, a storage configured to store therein the information related to the weight measured by the weight measurer, and a controller configured to cause the transceiver to transmit the wireless signal including the information related to the weight stored in the storage to the wireless device.

Abstract: A measurement device includes a sensor unit capable of measuring a state of a measurement target, and a control unit configured to control the sensor unit. The sensor unit includes a measurement unit capable of measuring a voltage corresponding to the state of the measurement target, a first voltage comparison unit configured to determine whether or not the measured voltage is changed beyond a lower limit value of a predetermined voltage change, and a second voltage comparison unit configured to determine whether or not the voltage change is changed beyond an upper limit value of the voltage change. The control unit stops power supply to the sensor unit in a case in which it is determined in the first and second voltage comparison units that the measured voltage is not changed beyond the voltage change.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a casein hydrolysate containing free amino acids and in vivo indigestible peptides having minimally suppressed in vivo enzymatic digestibility, and expected to express functions, such as hypotensive effect, in living organism, and to a method for preparing such a hydrolysate, and use thereof. The casein hydrolysate of the present invention contains free amino acids and peptides, such as in vivo indigestible peptides including Xaa-Pro and Xaa-Pro-Pro, obtained by hydrolyzing animal milk casein to have an average chain length of not longer than 2.1 in terms of the number of amino acid residues, and has ACE inhibitory activity or hypotensive effect.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel in vivo indigestible peptides that are highly absorbable and hardly digestible in living organism when administered orally or through other route, and expected to effectively exhibit functions, such as hypotensive effect, in living organism, and ACE inhibitors prepared with the peptides, and medicine or functional food expected to effectively exhibit hypotensive effect in living organism. The in vivo indigestible peptides are dipeptides or tripeptides having Pro at the carboxyl terminals, selected from the group consisting of Ile-Pro, Glu-Pro, Arg-Pro, Gln-Pro, Met-Pro, and Ser-Pro-Pro.

Abstract: In a circulation treatment system and method for treating a fountain solution the amounts of BOD, COD, n-hexane and SS are reduced in the fountain solution to recycle the fountain solution without draining it off. Circulation passages are connected to a vessel of a dampening section of an offset rotary press via communication passages, and circulate a fountain solution by introducing the fountain solution in the vessel from an introducing port and discharging the fountain solution from a discharging port. In the course of the circulation passages is a line pump for forcibly circulating the fountain solution, a potential absorption filtering device using an absorbing effect of a zeta potential, and an activated carbon filtering device using an absorbing effect of activated carbon.
