Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, it is provided a method for producing a yeast extract with the improvement in the color and odor characteristic to yeast extract and with no modification of the useful substances such as amino acid, etc. compared with conventional yeast extract.By a simple method in accordance with the present invention, color and characteristic odor can be removed, with almost no loss of the contents of useful substances such as amino acid, etc. from the yeast extract solution produced in a conventional manner. Because the resulting yeast extract can be mixed with other materials for use, the yeast extract is applicable to various fields, for example for cosmetic products and healthy foods other than seasonings, which expectantly enlarges the applicable range of the yeast extract.

Abstract: A tape recorder includes an auto-reverse system comprising an actuator incorporated with a tape driving means for switching driving direction from forward to reverse direction or from reverse to forward direction and a circuit for switching the actuator between operative and inoperative conditions. The switching circuit cooperates with a manual reversing switch and a tape end detecting means, used for auto-reverse operation. The switching circuit includes a manually operative switching means for selectively switching the auto-reverse system between operative and inoperative.

Abstract: In an FM receiver having cutoff circuits for cutting off higher frequency signal components of an audio signal, and for reducing stereo separation between channels, there is provided a multipath detector for detecting an amplitude modulated FM intermediate frequency signal and outputting a control signal depending on the magnitude of the amplitude modulated FM intermediate frequency signal into the cutoff circuit so that the high frequency noise due to multipath transmission can be eliminated. The invention is particularly suited to use with a stereo FM receiver mounted in an automotive vehicle, but may equally be applied to a mono receiver, or a receiver in any location.

Abstract: A switching system is disclosed for selectively connecting a plurality of electric devices to a power source. The system comprises a plurality of switching circuits associated with respective electric devices. Each switching circuit is operable to connect its associated electric device to the power source and simultaneously place the other switching circuits out of operation. Means is provided for holding a switching circuit associated with a first electric device in operation while permitting another electric device to operate when the first electric device is in a predetermined mode of operation.
