  • Patent number: 5804238
    Abstract: A partially heat denatured yolk prepared by heating a yolk fluid at the temperature from 65.degree. C. to 70.degree. C. and maintaining the said temperature for 5 minutes or more, which can improve the flavour, features and functions of yolk. The said partially heat denatured yolk can be prepared by heating by applying an electric current to the yolk. Further, an emulsion prepared by processing 30-95 weight parts of the partially heat denatured yolk together with 5-70 weight parts of oils and fats to obtain an O/W type emulsion can be used as an emulsifier. The emulsifying ability of said emulsifier can be improved by adding vinegar or acetic acid and/or salt.

  • Patent number: 5401989
    Abstract: A signal line is disposed to run parallel to electric-power supplying lines in the uppermost layer of a multi-layer wiring in an ASCI (Application-oriented Specific IC). An arbitrary cell in an I/O cell column can be interconnected to a large-size circuit element, such as a feedback resistor, formed at a corner of a semiconductor chip. Therefore, a desired function circuit block can be formed in an I/O cell corresponding to an arbitrary input/output pin so that satisfactory freedom is assured for a user who design the pattern on a printed circuit board. Since the signal line is formed by an individual conductive layer from that for the signal line and as well as it runs adjacently to the electric-power line, inductive coupling with other signal lines can significantly be reduced. As a result, a stable operation of an oscillation circuit constituted by the feedback resistor and a selected internal I/O cell can be assured.
