Abstract: A production method for an MP whey is provided, that enables preparation of both of a high GMP-content composition and a usable MP whey from an ordinary MP whey. The problems can be solved by a production method for a glycomacropeptide-containing composition, that includes a step of acquiring a solution containing glycomacropeptide, that includes a glycomacropeptide content of 10% by weight or higher in the protein total amount by condensing and/or applying diafiltration to a microparticulated whey solution.

Abstract: An OCT device includes a controller configured to: acquire OCT data of a tissue of a subject in a depth direction that is generated by processing interference signal detected by a light receiving element; and perform a correction process to reduce an effect by a noise floor in the OCT data using a plurality of correction amounts each of which is set in accordance with depth at a corresponding data acquisition position. Strength of the noise floor varies depending on the depth of the data acquisition position.

Abstract: A shift limiting valve (110) driven by a control solenoid valve controlled by an electronic control means (40) is installed between a manual shift valve (50) working in cooperation with speed-change operation of driver and shift valves (60) and (62) driven by solenoid valves (S1) and (S2) controlled by the electronic control means (40). The control solenoid valve is controlled by the electronic control means (40) to actuate the shift limiting valve (110) when a vehicle is moving forward at a specified or higher speed so that a planetary gear transmission (12) is not changed to a reverse drive stage even if the driver changes a drive mode to the reverse drive stage.

Abstract: A speed change control device in an automatic transmission for an automobile (16) equipped with a storage means (3) storing a correlation between an accelerator opening and a vehicle speed by which a shifting in each speed stage is commenced, and its shift point being deviated so as to execute a shift-up operation at a constant high vehicle speed when an accelerator opening is smaller than or equal to a specified value. An accelerator opening rate-of-change computing means (14) computes a rate-of-change of an accelerator opening on the basis of a detection signal from an accelerator opening detector (12) detecting the accelerator opening. Further, a shift-up prohibiting means (15) prohibits a shift-up operation when the accelerator opening rate-of-change computed by the accelerator opening rate-of-change computing means (14) is more than or equal to a specified value.

Abstract: An electronic control circuit memorizes shift patterns of a 2-range and an L-range in addition to a shift pattern of a D-range. An operation switch changes a shift pattern of the electronic control circuit to any shift pattern among those of the D-range, 2-range and L-range when a manual shift lever is in a D-range position. A lock mechanism prevents the manual shift lever from entering a 2-range position and an L-range position. A lock mechanism is releasable. A hydraulic circuit is set to a third speed mode when the manual shift lever is in the D-range position, the circuit is set to a second speed mode when it is in the 2-range position, and the circuit is set to a first speed mode when it is in the L-range position, respectively, in case where the shift valves are not working.
