  • Patent number: 8962287
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a cell capable of efficiently producing scyllo-inositol from myo-inositol and a simple method of manufacturing scyllo-inositol using the cell. The above-mentioned object is achieved by a Bacillus subtilis cell, in which a function of a protein having a scyllo-inositol dehydrogenase activity is lost, and the manufacture of scyllo-inositol using the cell, based on a novel finding that the protein having a scyllo-inositol dehydrogenase activity and a protein having a 2-keto-myo-inositol ketoreductase function are present in Bacillus subtilis.

  • Patent number: 6892208
    Abstract: Customer data is displayed to a user for making decisions in dealing with customers. The displayed data is generated based upon characteristic rules that are generated with respect to predetermined data definition information on the customer data. After confirming the effect of adding or deleting certain conditions to and from characteristic data segments as specified by the characteristic rules, the user selects a segment of particular interest. Subsequently, the user specifies certain similar customers from the selected segment to be used for speculation based upon a speculation model so that the speculation model has a relatively high precision level. Additionally, the user modifies the conditions on the speculation results to further understand the bases for the inclusion of the customers in the speculation. The user considers the future course of action towards certain customers based upon the above understandings.

  • Patent number: 6321217
    Abstract: A data analyzing method for generating a rule based on data items in a data base, wherein the rule expresses relational features of the data items. The invention includes a user interface and a rule generation module. The rule generation module, in response to an input from the user via the user interface, selects data items for use in a conditional clause and a conclusion clause of a rule from the data items stored in the data base, converts, when the selected data items have numerical values, the numerical values into symbolic values and creates plural candidate rules each expressing a correlation between selected data items in a rule form having one or plural sets of item names and symbolic values.
