A candidate Mandevilla genus plant is selected as a parent Mandevilla genus plant in the case carotenoid pigment is extracted from the petals thereof, and neoxanthin or a derivative thereof is present in the carotenoid pigment extract.

Abstract: A compressor includes a compression mechanism housed in a casing. The compression mechanism includes a suction volume adjustment mechanism capable of switching a suction completion position of a compression chamber in a suction process between a first position and a second position with a smaller suction volume than the first position. The suction volume adjustment mechanism includes a plunger switchable between a closed position in which the suction completion position is moved to the first position and an open position in which the suction completion position is moved to the second position. An oil passage is arranged to allow an oil reservoir formed inside the casing and a suction space of the compression chamber to communicate with each other. The plunger is disposed midway along the oil passage, and includes a switching portion closing the oil passage in the closed position, and opening the oil passage in the open position.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory that, in a case where a reception unit receives an instruction among plural reception units which respectively receive instructions relevant to generation or editing of a product in a recording mode, stores the product and the reception unit in association with each other; and a display controller that, in a case where the product is selected in a learning mode, performs control such that the reception unit, which is stored in the memory in association with the selected product, is displayed in a predetermined area.

Abstract: A tilting angle control device includes pressure sensors. Each of the pressure sensors outputs to a control unit a pressure command signal corresponding to an operation amount. The control unit outputs to an electromagnetic proportional control valve a pressure control signal corresponding to the pressure command signal, and the electromagnetic proportional control valve outputs to a tilt adjustment mechanism pilot pressure corresponding to the pressure control signal. The tilt adjustment mechanism adjusts a tilting angle of a variable displacement pump such that the tilting angle becomes an angle corresponding to the pilot pressure. A pilot pressure sensor detects the pilot pressure to output a pressure feedback signal to the control unit. The control unit calculates the pressure control signal based on the pressure feedback signal and the pressure command signal and performs feedback control of the pilot pressure.
