Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a fermented seasoning containing 5?-nucleotides derived from fermentation at a high concentration without externally adding 5?-nucleotides and a method of producing the same. In a case where the nucleic acids are externally added, display of additives is indispensable on an ingredients description, and thus it cannot be said that the fermented seasoning have no chemical seasoning additive or made by natural brewing; however, with the fermented seasoning relating to the present invention, it is unnecessary to display additives on the ingredients description, and thus it is possible to appeal an added value to nature oriented or natural oriented consumers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for filtering dairy may filter milk with a wide-pore filter to produce a wide-pore retentate and a wide-pore permeate, wherein the wide-pore retentate may comprise casein and beta-lactoglobulin. The systems and methods may further ultra-filter the wide-pore permeate to produce an ultra-filtered retentate and an ultra-filtered permeate, wherein the ultra-filtered retentate comprises alpha-lactalbumin. The systems and methods may further nano-filter the ultra-filtered permeate to produce a nano-filtered retentate and a nano-filtered permeate, wherein the nano-filtered retentate comprises lactose. The systems and methods may further perform reverse osmosis (RO) on the nano-filtered permeate to produce a reverse osmosis retentate and a reverse osmosis permeate.
Abstract: A mat includes a mat body defining an upper surface dimensioned for a user to stand on the upper surface. The upper surface is non-planar and includes at least one terrain feature defining the non-planarity. The terrain feature has a size that is on the order of magnitude of the size of the user's foot. Presenting this surface to the user may help remind him or her to move his or her feet to thereby adopt multiple poses, thereby preventing the user from maintaining any single pose for a fatigue-inducing duration.

Abstract: The disclosure discloses a production method of marbled beef, and belongs to the field of food processing. The processing steps of the method are: freezing, thawing of beef, preparation of a gel emulsion, injection, wrap shaping, quick freezing, cutting and packaging, and hot dipping. The preparation method of the process of the disclosure can realize high-efficiency and standardized industrial production. By injecting beef with the formulated gel emulsion, the fat content and high-quality protein content of the beef can be increased, thereby improving the sensory properties and flavor of the beef, and producing high-quality beef. The gel emulsion for preparing marbled beef of the disclosure is liquid and is low in viscosity when the temperature is higher than 40° C., and therefore the gel emulsion is convenient for injection into beef, and can be uniformly dispersed in beef to form a delicate marble pattern. When the temperature is lower than 20° C., the gel emulsion forms a solid in beef tissue.
Abstract: Damped highly stressed engineering components are disclosed. The disclosed inventive concept provides a method and system for increasing the damping capacity of an engineering system by adding a non-flat solid, highly damped insert to a system component that contributes most to the system's dynamic response. A friction damped insert can either be embedded into the damped components during casting or fastened to the outer surface of the damped component. The insert is made of the single layer of flexible material by forming it into a rigid elongated body. The layer of material can be turned over on itself without folding to create a cylinder or can be folded over a number of times to create a prismatic bar. The layer of material may be shaped into a corrugated panel. The layer of flexible material may have a number of relatively small openings or perforations with a uniform spatial distribution.
Abstract: A method of forming a fiber reinforced plate for an article of footwear is described. The method includes embroidering a reinforcing strand to a substrate layer with a thread according to a strand configuration. One or more substrate layers with strand configurations are arranged relative to a base plate. The one or more substrate layers are bonded to the base plate to form the fiber reinforced plate. The reinforcing strands may be formed of a heat fusible material so that adjacent segments of the strands bond to one another and/or the substrate layer. Various strand configurations of reinforcing strands embroidered to substrate layers are described. Multiple substrate layers with different strand configurations can be bonded together with a base plate to form a fiber reinforced plate with reinforcement at selected locations based on the strand configurations.
