Publication number: 20170142998Abstract: Provided is a food containing milk ceramide that solves the problems of sedimentation and non-uniformity within the food. Also provided is a process for producing the food. Milk ceramide is transformed into a paste and added to a food. In this manner, it becomes possible to add 0.3-10.0% of milk ceramide to a food homogeneously without causing precipitation. Thus, a food can be provided, which contains milk ceramide homogeneously in such an amount that cannot be achieved by conventional techniques without causing sedimentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2017Publication date: May 25, 2017Applicant: MEGMILK SNOW BRAND CO., LTD.Inventors: Noriko UEDA, Kazuhiko HIRAMATSU, Hiroshi UENO, Ken KATOH, Keiko MURAKAMI, Shigeyuki KUBO

Patent number: 7800338Abstract: A voltage type inverter apparatus comprising a voltage correcting portion. The voltage correcting portion corrects a given voltage instruction based on a value generated by passing a direct current bus voltage detected value through a first degree delay filter. In decelerating a speed of the alternating current motor, the speed is decelerated in an overexcited state by multiplying the given voltage instruction by a set gain. Simultaneously, a time constant of the first degree delay filter is made larger than a time constant in a normal control state.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2005Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Yaskawa DenkiInventors: Hideaki Iura, Kazuhiko Hiramatsu, Mitsujiro Sawamura

Patent number: 7612518Abstract: There is provided an inverter capable of reducing a speed in a short period of time without generating an overcurrent even in a case of an alternating current motor which is easy to be saturated magnetically. A frequency of driving a motor is calculated by using a detecting value constituted by passing a direct current bus line voltage through a first filter portion, a voltage command is corrected by using a detecting value passing through a second filter portion, by making a time constant of the second filter portion larger than a time constant of the first filter portion in reducing a speed, the motor is brought into an overexcited state and loss is brought about in the motor.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2005Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Yaskawa DenkiInventors: Hideaki Iura, Kazuhiko Hiramatsu

Patent number: 5106212Abstract: A printing head supporting device including a supporting mechanism for supporting a printing head so that the printing head can be brought into contact with and separation from a platen, and a pressure plate detachably mounted to a printer body. When the pressure plate is mounted to the printer body, the printing head is maintained in contact with the platen to obtain a printable condition. In contrast, when the pressure plate is detached from the printer body, the printing head is maintained in separation from the platen, so that an operator can easily carry out a maintenance work such as cleaning of the printing head or removing of a recording paper caught between the printing head and the platen. Thus, the maintenance work can be easily carried out by a simple operation such that the pressure plate is simply detached from the printer body.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1991Date of Patent: April 21, 1992Assignee: Tokyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kouzi Endo, Seiji Koike, Takeshi Tashiro, Kazuhiko Hiramatsu, Kazuhiro Fushimi, Tsugio Shiozaki
