Abstract: A control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle drive system, which permits effective reduction of deterioration of the drivability of the hybrid vehicle. The control apparatus includes a drive mode switching portion 60 configured to switch the hybrid vehicle drive system from a hybrid drive mode to a first EV drive mode if an electric energy amount stored in a battery is smaller than a predetermined threshold value ? or if a vehicle drive force required to be generated by the hybrid vehicle drive system is smaller than a predetermined threshold value ?, and to a second EV drive mode if the electric energy amount stored in the battery is equal to or larger than the threshold value ? and if the drive force required to drive the hybrid vehicle is equal to or larger than the threshold value ?, when the drive mode switching portion has determined that the hybrid vehicle drive system should be switched from the hybrid drive mode to the first or second EV drive mode.

The third curved portion has a trailing-edge foremost point, and the second curved portion has a trailing-edge rearmost point. The trailing edge and a first concentric circle, which is one of concentric circles having as their center an axis of rotation and passes through the leading-edge rearmost point, intersect each other at a first intersection. The first intersection is located between the trailing-edge rearmost point and the trailing-edge foremost point.

Abstract: Disclosed are whey protein-containing granules which can dissolve a whey protein into water without forming insoluble lumps thereby making a solution containing the dissolved whey protein clear without turbidity, and a method for producing the same. The whey protein-containing granules are composed of a polyglycerin fatty acid ester having HLB of 13 to 18 and containing lauric acid as a constituent fatty acid. As the polyglycerin fatty acid ester, for example, monolauric acid decaglycerin ester or monolauric acid pentaglycerin ester may be used.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition for beverage use comprising an acidic soluble protein, and one or two or more powdery or granular salts selected from the group consisting of alkali metal salts of organic acids and water-soluble basic salts, wherein at least the acidic soluble protein is granulated. Furthermore, the present invention provides a process for producing a composition for beverage use containing an acidic soluble protein, comprising: adding to the acidic soluble protein one or two or more powdery or granular salts selected from alkali metal salts of organic acids and water-soluble basic salts in a proportion of 0.01 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the acidic soluble protein, and subjecting at least the acidic soluble protein to granulation. In the composition for beverage use, the formation of undissolved lumps when the composition is dissolved in water is suppressed.
