  • Method of manufacturing grain flour
    Patent number: 9565871
    Abstract: A grain flour includes milled grains of at least one grain selected from the group consisting of barley and oat. In the grain flour, the average grain diameter is in the range of 40-100 ?m. The content of grains having a grain diameter less than 20 ?m is not greater than 20 mass %, the content of grains having a grain diameter in the range of 20-100 ?m is in the range of 20-60 mass %, the content of grains having a grain diameter greater than 100 ?m and not greater than 500 ?m is in the range of 20-60 mass %, and the content of grains having a grain diameter greater than 500 ?m is not greater than 5%. An application food using the grain flour is produced from a starting material which contains at least 5% of the grain flour. A method for producing the grain flour is also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Electric fuse
    Patent number: 6542063
    Abstract: A pair of electrodes are provided through a base. A cap and the base constitute a chamber, and are connected to each other by fitting projections provided on the base, into locking grooves formed in the cap. A fuse element is connected to upper portions of the electrodes, located in the chamber, by appropriate means such as soldering or welding. The base is in the form of a rectangle having long sides and short sides. A pair of semi-elliptic air pass holes are formed in substantially central portions of the base along the respective long sides, and opposed to each other.
