Publication number: 20240138282Abstract: A management system includes a storage and a processor. While an agricultural machine including an GNSS receiver is traveling, the storage stores GNSS data output from the GNSS receiver and sensing data output from a sensor sensing a surrounding environment of the agricultural machine in association with each other. The processor is configured or programmed to generate and output visualized data, which represents the surrounding environment of the agricultural machine, based on the GNSS data and the sensing data, when reception interference of a satellite signal occurs.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Yuki KUBOTA, Toru TAMBO, Itsuki OKUBO, Kazuki OTA

Patent number: 9399051Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a DPP-4 inhibitor that is obtained by using a food as a raw material and that is suitable for oral ingestion from the viewpoints of flavor and absorbability, and a composition for the prevention and/or amelioration of diabetes which contains the DPP-4 inhibitor. The present invention provides a DPP-4 inhibitor obtained by treating an azuki bean or a kidney bean with a microorganism or a proteolytic enzyme produced by the microorganism. In particular, a preferable DPP-4 inhibitor can be obtained by hydrolyzing an azuki bean with a koji mold or a proteolytic enzyme derived from the koji mold to fragment a protein in the azuki bean.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2014Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: Kaneka CorporationInventors: Yuji Tominaga, Shinichi Yokota, Hozumi Tanaka, Hideyuki Kishida, Masayasu Kitagawa, Hiroshi Tachi, Toru Ota
