  • Publication number: 20230100035
    Abstract: An electroencephalogram signal processing apparatus includes an interface and one or more processors. The interface receives, from each of a plurality of electrodes attached to a head of a subject, an electroencephalogram signal corresponding to a change over time in a brain activity potential of the subject. The processor obtains a value of an electroencephalogram parameter for each of the plurality of electrodes by processing the electroencephalogram signal, and the processor outputs data for plotting the value on a radar chart. A plurality of regions to each of which at least one electrode is attached are set in the head. Each of a plurality of coordinate axes provided in the radar chart is associated with a corresponding one of the plurality of regions.

  • Patent number: 9089158
    Abstract: An acidic oil-in-water-type emulsified food comprising an egg white hydrolyzate. A method of producing the acidic oil-in-water-type emulsified food comprising emulsifying an aqueous phase component and an oil phase component in the presence of the egg white hydrolyzate. An antioxidant comprising an egg white hydrolyzate obtained by treating egg white with a neutral protease originating from a microorganism belonging to the genus Aspergillus. A flavor improving agent comprising an egg white hydrolyzate obtained by treating egg white with a neutral protease originating from a microorganism belonging to the genus Aspergillus.

  • Patent number: 6660312
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for producing an oil-in-water emulsified food having an egg yolk content as calculated in terms of raw egg yolk of 2.8% or more, a content of cholesterol derived from egg yolk of 7×10−4% or more, and a total cholesterol content of less than 6×10−3%. This method comprises the steps of subjecting an egg yolk fluid to enzymatic processing, thereby converting phospholipids contained in the egg yolk into lysophospholipids; subjecting the enzymatically processed egg yolk to processing for reducing cholesterol, thereby obtaining processed dry egg yolk retaining at least 0.1% of cholesterol; and mixing the processed dry egg yolk with other ingredients in an amount of at least 0.7% of all the ingredients used. The product obtained by this method has a significantly reduced cholesterol content although its egg yolk content is high. Further, this product is excellent in emulsion stability and thus scarcely undergoes separation during storage.
