Abstract: An eddy current testing method for a turbine rotor including a disc, a plurality of turbine blades disposed along the periphery of the disc, and a plurality of pins for joining a blade fork portion formed on each of the plurality of turbine blades to a disc fork portion formed on the disc, the method including inserting a probe having an eddy current testing sensor into a hole formed through the disc fork portion and the blade fork portion by pulling out one of the plurality of pins in a state that the blade fork portion is still inserted into the disc fork portion; and performing eddy current testing for at least part of an internal surface of the hole by using the probe.

Abstract: An ultrasonic testing apparatus for a turbine fork of a turbine blade joined to a turbine disc, comprising: an ultrasonic testing sensor; a sensor mounting apparatus for mounting the ultrasonic testing sensor on a flat portion on a side surface of the turbine fork with the turbine blade joined to the turbine disc; and an ultrasonic testing apparatus for inspecting internal and external surfaces of the turbine fork by using reflected waves, which is received by the ultrasonic testing sensor, from the internal surface of the turbine fork.

Abstract: The eddy current testing apparatus includes a probe having an eddy current testing sensor including a pair of eddy current testing coils. The apparatus also includes an eddy current testing flaw detector inputting detection signals from the eddy current testing sensor. The diameter of a magnetic core used in each of the pair of eddy current testing coils is within the range of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.

Abstract: This invention relates to a composition that can inhibit the elevation of blood pressure, does not generate any side effects, and can be safely used. Particularly, this invention relates to food or a pharmaceutical composition for preventing hypertension that can inhibit the elevation of blood pressure via the long-term oral ingestion thereof and comprises at least one member selected from among acetic acid, acetate ion, and acetate.

Abstract: This invention relates to the structural gene for the membrane-bound aldehyde dehydrogenase derived from microorganisms belonging to the genus Acetobacter, said structural gene having a molecular size of about 3.6 Kb and having a restriction enzyme cleavage map as shown in FIG. 1; to a plasmid containing said structural gene; to an acetic acid bacterium transformed by said plasmid; and to an acetic acid fermentation process using said transformant.

Abstract: There is provided a structural gene of membrane-bound alcohol dehydrogenase complex having a molecular size of about 7.0 kilo base which is derived from a microorganism belonging to the genus Acetobacter represented by Acetobacter altoacetigenes and shown by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID. NO. 1 and SEQ ID NO. 2. This enzyme increases the efficiency of acetic acid fermentation and may be effectively utilized for quantitative determination of alcohol.

Abstract: Novel highly viscous acidic heterpolysaccharide AM-2 is produced from a strain of genus Acetobacter isolated from vinegar mash, and is useful as an adhesive, coating agent, drilling mud additive, enhanced oil recovering agent, etc., as well as a material useful for the production of foods, drugs and cosmetics because of its safety and high viscosity.
