Abstract: Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or an L-lysine solution having an equivalent ratio of anion/L-lysine higher than 0.95 is added to a raw material L-lysine solution having an equivalent ratio of anion/L-lysine lower than 0.68 to adjust the equivalent ratio of anion/L-lysine of the raw material solution to be in the range of 0.68 to 0.95, and the obtained L-lysine solution or a concentrate thereof is granulated and dried to obtain a dry granulated product having a high L-lysine content and showing low caking property and low hygroscopic property.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image reading apparatus comprising an original document conveying route, original document conveying mechanism for conveying original documents along the original document conveying route, first reading unit for reading an image on one side of the original document; and second reading unit for reading an image on the other side of the original document. The first reading unit reads an image on one side of the original document while the original document is conveyed in a forward direction at a first speed by the original document conveying mechanism, and then after the original document is conveyed in a reverse direction at a second speed, the second reading unit reads the other side of the original document while the original document is again conveyed in the forward direction. The second speed is faster than the first speed.

Abstract: After a power source was turned on, when time information is received before message information is received, a time correction is executed on the basis of the time information. After that, when the message information is received, the message information is displayed together with reception time and is stored into a storing unit. When the message information is received before the time information is received, the reception time is stored but is not displayed, and only the message information is displayed. After that, when the time information is received, the time correction is executed on the basis of the time information and the reception time of the message information received so far is corrected.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus has a photoelectric converting element for receiving light obtained from an original illuminated by a light source, a lens for imaging the light obtained from the original on the photoelectric converting element, and a guide member for guiding the original to an original reading position, the guide member having a hollow portion for containing the photoelectric converting element and the lens therein.

Abstract: For informing a user of a pager terminal for receiving message information attributed with a serial message number of the serial message numbers of missing message information, the pager terminal having a missing massage indicator comprises, a message status memory (17) prepared with a message reception table having a reception confirmation flag area and a reception failure flag area for each of possible serial message numbers. A logic `1` flag is set in the reception confirmation flag area corresponding to the serial message number N of the message lastly stored. When a message having a message number M is newly received, the numbers M and N are compared. When M.noteq.N+1, logic `1` flags are set in all the reception failure flag areas corresponding to the serial message numbers from N+1 to M-1 for indicating the reception failure of these messages.

Abstract: A radio selective call receiver such as a pager that displays a remaining time for retaining data stored in a memory of the receiver on its LCD after removing the battery, providing a user with an easy and simple way of protecting for data. A count section of a decoder circuit counts the time period elapsing from removal of the battery to insertion of a replacement battery detected by a battery removal/insertion detection circuit using a reference clock. An operation section reads a message retentive time from a ID-ROM indicating the time allowed for retaining the message preset in the RAM after removing the battery and outputs an operation result obtained by subtracting the elapsed time from the message retentive time. A CPU receives output information of the operation section 6c and edits the output information conforming to the remaining time for retaining the message so as to be displayed on the LCD 8.
