  • Publication number: 20170082989
    Abstract: A transport control system divides a series of data-processing operations into mutually independent processes, and causes the process execution units to execute the respective processes. The data input or output by each process execution unit is stored in the data storage separate from the process execution unit, and transfer of the data between the respective process execution units is performed via the data storage instead of being performed directly between the process execution units. By separating the processes from each other and also separating the processes from the data in this manner, without affecting process execution units other than a process execution unit to be changed and the data storage, the process execution unit to be changed can be changed to a different process execution unit.

  • Patent number: 8603548
    Abstract: An anti-avian influenza virus agent containing, as an active ingredient, a component obtained when a guava extract extracted from a guava with an extraction solvent consisting primarily of at least one of water and a hydrophilic organic solvent is subjected to fractionation by HPLC under specific conditions. The specific conditions include the use of an ODS column, the use of a water-methanol mixture having a methanol concentration of 20% as a mobile phase during a period until 15 minutes after applying the guava extract to the column, and the use of a water-methanol mixture having a methanol concentration of 40% as a mobile phase during a subsequent period of 15 to 30 minutes. Alternatively, the specific conditions further include the use of a water-methanol mixture having a methanol concentration of 60% as a mobile phase during a period of 30 to 45 minutes after applying the guava extract to the column.
