Publication number: 20240033153Abstract: A posture holding mat according to the present invention is a mat which has a predetermined thickness to hold a posture, the posture holding mat includes: an elastic foam; and a cuttable line which allows the mat to be cut to a predetermined size and in the cuttable line, cuts penetrating in the direction of the thickness are provided at a predetermined interval. In this way, the posture holding mat can be cut by an operator with fingers without use of a cutting tool such as a cutter, can be bent to be used and can be used for holding the posture of a subject during an operation in orthopedics, surgery or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2021Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Koji SHIOTANI, Hirotake HIRAKAWA, Masayoshi TACHIBANA, Kazuhisa YAMADA, Ryuichi YANAGIYAMA

Patent number: 8883731Abstract: An agent for reducing risk in onset of diseases ascribable to non-dipping circadian profile of blood pressure is provided. This agent is capable of effectively lowering SBP from night to early morning in individuals with non-dipping circadian profile of blood pressure, in particular, normal individuals with normal SBP and DBP among them, and is thus capable of reducing risk in onset, particularly likely in the morning, of diseases caused by circadian variation of blood pressure. The agent is intended for administration to such subjects, and contains a hydrolysate or a concentrate thereof, containing Val-Pro-Pro and Ile-Pro-Pro and obtained by hydrolysis of animal milk protein.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: CALPIS Co., LtdInventors: Mari Takahashi, Naoyuki Yamamoto, Kazuhisa Yamada, Toshirou Iketani

Patent number: 8496986Abstract: Disclosed is a method whereby, in producing a hard butter composition being rich in SUS (2-unsaturated-1,3-disaturated triglyceride) via ester exchange by a 1,3-specific lipase, the production can be more conveniently or more efficiently carried out. In producing a hard butter composition being rich in SUS (2-unsaturated-1,3-disaturated triglyceride) via ester exchange by a 1,3-specific lipase, a low-melting point fraction of allanblackia fat is used as the main starting material, saturated fatty acids are selectively introduced into the 1- and 3-positions of the fat, and then fractionation is optionally conducted to thereby give an SUS-rich fraction.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2010Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Fuji Oil Company LimitedInventors: Nobuo Sagi, Kazuhisa Yamada, Haruyasu Kida

The agent is intended for administration to such subjects, and contains a hydrolysate or a concentrate thereof, containing Val-Pro-Pro and Ile-Pro-Pro and obtained by hydrolysis of animal milk protein. Reduction of risk may be expected in onset, particularly likely in the morning, of various diseases caused by risk of circadian variation of blood pressure, such as cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction,myocardialischemia, atherosclerosis, cardiac failure, cerebral stroke, coronary artery diseases, and peripheral vascular diseases.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2011Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicant: CALPIS CO., LTD.Inventors: Mari TAKAHASHI, Naoyuki Yamamoto, Kazuhisa Yamada, Toshirou Iketani

Patent number: 7961644Abstract: In a communication system, including a plurality of communication node apparatuses, for establishing a path for communication by exchanging a message among the plurality of communication node apparatuses, before establishing a path, an identifier of a path for which reuse of resources of the path to be established is permitted or inhibited is determined, and the determined identification information is included in a control message so that the path is established. A communication node apparatus in which the path has been established determines availability of reuse of resources the path based on the identification information in the control message. When an event such as failure occurrence, occurrence of resource reuse or dissolution of resource reuse occurs, the communication node apparatus executes path priority change processing, so that priority can be changed such that resource reuse can be performed most efficiently.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2007Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Yoshiaki Sone, Wataru Imajyuku, Naohide Nagatsu, Yukio Tsukishima, Kazuhisa Yamada, Atsushi Taniguchi

Patent number: 6754437Abstract: A receiving apparatus, a recording apparatus, and a reproduction apparatus which can receive and record an interactive program. Time information generated by a CPU is composed by a composition unit in a transport stream that is decoded by a transport decoder, and the time information is recorded in a DVHS recording/reproduction apparatus. The transport stream reproduced by the DVHS recording/reproduction apparatus is decoded by the transport decoder, decoded by an AV decoder, and reproduced.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2000Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshikazu Hirai, Kazuhisa Yamada, Yasushi Yoneda
