  • Patent number: 8403305
    Abstract: The present invention provides an ozonated water generator which can generate highly soluble and highly concentrated ozonated water in an efficient and simple manner. In an ozonated water generator comprising a supply tube for transmitting a treated liquid, a gas/liquid mixing device provided in the path of the supply tube, and an ozone supply structure for supplying ozone to the gas/liquid mixing device. The gas/liquid mixing device is provided with a magnet for creating magnetic force in the interior. Creating magnetic force in both the treated liquid and the ozone makes it possible to generate highly soluble and highly concentrated ozonated water in an efficient and simple manner.

  • Patent number: 8141520
    Abstract: By effectively inhibiting ozone escape from ozonized water, a livestock sterilizing method which does not have the possibility of having an adverse effect on man and livestock is provided. Sterilizing of livestock is performed by including an ozonized water producing step of producing ozonized water with a particle size R of a contained ozone bubble satisfying 0<R<50 nm and an ozone concentration of 3 ppm to 20 ppm by a gas-liquid mixing method, and a step of sterilizing livestock by using the ozonized water produced in the ozonized water producing step. Since the particle size R is 0<R<50 nm, the ozone bubbles hardly receive buoyancy of the ozonized water. Therefore, the ozone bubbles do not rise to the water level, but stay in the ozonized water. As a result, ozone escape is effectively inhibited.

  • Patent number: 7165106
    Abstract: Object matters handled by each program constituting a work are assorted and classified into a system, and an ID information for discriminating the work is added to a definition information relating to the execution of the work and to an information representing the events which occur with the execution of the work, in order to achieve a unitary management. A priority is assigned to each event occurring with the execution of the work, and whether the information representing the event is to be transferred or stored is decided so as to accomplish the objectives described above.

  • Patent number: 7155498
    Abstract: In a computer system to which a plurality of computers are connected, a managing computer manages operations performed in the respective computers in an integrated manner, or manages the operations in relation to the computers themselves. As a result, problems occurring in the processes can be easily solved, and furthermore a load on a network is reduced. The managing computer manages a series of operations in an integrated manner in which when an operation is executed by each of the plurality of computers, or by the respective computers in combination with each other, the managing computer performs an operation designated when a specific event happens to occur on a computer. The managing computer displays each of the operations executed on the computers by a symbol; displays an execution sequence of the operations by a link with a direction among symbols; and further displays an execution condition of the computer by a color of a symbol.

  • Publication number: 20040093254
    Abstract: A delay factor in a processing in a job system in which an ordered series of jobs are executed in computers assigned to respective jobs, is efficiently detected, and the delay factor is analyzed in detail by associating it with load information of the computers and a network. An administrative manager computer 201 collects a history of executing a job from each job executing computer 202, and refers to a history of each job, one by one from a job executed later to a job executed earlier, until no delay is detected in a job, for judging a cause of delay in each job. Further, with respect to a job in which delay is detected, load statuses of the other jobs or applications in the computer in which said job is in execution are compared with said job and displayed.

  • Patent number: 4331763
    Abstract: Ascorbate oxidase is produced by extraction from plants of the genus Sechium, particularly the species thereof which is Sechium edule Sw. The crushed plant tissues are extracted with an aqueous alkaline solvent, preferably at about pH 11. The extract is then subjected to centrifugation, concentration under vacuum, salting out with ammonium sulfate and solvent fractionation with acetone, to prepare crude ascorbate oxidase, which is then further purified by dialysis, ion exchange chromatography, adsorption chromatography and gel filtration. The ascorbate oxidase thus obtained has an optimum pH of about 7, a km value of 0.3 mM, an isoelectric point of around pH 6.3 and a molecular weight of about 100,000.
