Publication number: 20230220003Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a method of producing each high purity imidazole dipeptide in large quantities on an industrial scale, regardless of the type of animal extract employed. The objective is achieved by a method of producing a purified imidazole dipeptide composition, including the step (1) of subjecting an animal extract treatment solution containing at least two types of imidazole dipeptides to adsorption treatment carried out by bringing the solution into contact with a hydrophobic adsorption resin to adsorb the imidazole dipeptides onto the hydrophobic adsorption resin; and the step (2) of subjecting the hydrophobic adsorption resin adsorbing the imidazole dipeptides to elution treatment using an aqueous solution to mutually separate and collect the imidazole dipeptides to purify an imidazole dipeptide.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2021Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: TOKAI BUSSAN CO., LTD.Inventors: Akira YONEYAMA, Chiaki SANO, Hiroki NAKANISHI, Yoshio KAWAI, Yohsuke KOYAMA

Patent number: 7126988Abstract: In analyzing a coded result to thereby calculate data distribution corresponding to a characteristic of an input image signal, rather than determining data distribution for all of the pictures, an aggregate of such pictures that have roughly the same coding difficulty is captured as one scene. This scene is prescribed as a video edit unit (VEU), so that, in configuration, the input image signal is subdivided into a plurality of video edit units (VEUs) to thereby set an average target coding rate for each of these video edit units (VEUs), which are entered as coding conditions to thereby determine data distribution for each of the pictures at the time of re-coding.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2001Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Akira Yoneyama

Patent number: 7106800Abstract: On input coded data, variable length decoding is performed, and motion vector information extracted. The motion vector information is transmitted to the threshold value determination section, and a predetermined threshold value and the value of the motion vector information are compared. Based on the number of motion vector information whose values are the threshold value or more, it determines whether it is necessary to control the interframe motion or not. When the control is necessary because the interframe motion is large, the control signal generation section generates a control signal to suspend the decoding by the varibale length decoding section and thereby reducing a frame rate.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2003Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Akira Yoneyama
