  • Patent number: 9299055
    Abstract: To avoid the need for off-line collaboration, a primary user who is attempting to enter data required for computer-based process may, as part of the data entry process, delegate data entry tasks for specific input fields to designated delegate users who are more likely to be knowledgeable about the data to be entered. Data entry operations performed by the primary user are recorded and used to build a transaction model which will enable a server to provide required data input screens to delegate users. Data entered by the delegate users is merged with data entered by the primary user to meet the requirements of the computer-based process.

  • Patent number: 8470986
    Abstract: A method for producing an oxazoline derivative from a non-protected sugar in a simple manner and a method for producing a glycoside by utilizing the product of the aforementioned method are disclosed. A sugar oxazoline derivative is synthesized in one step in an aqueous solution from a sugar having a free hemiacetal hydroxy group and an amide group by using a haloformamidinium derivative as a dehydration/condensation agent. A glycoside is produced by using the oxazolidine derivative as a sugar donor and also using a sugar dehydrogenase. The method can be applied to the production of a compound having a long sugar chain, and is therefore useful for a production of a physiologically active oligosaccharide, a carrier for a drug delivery system, a surfactant, a carbohydrate pharmaceutical, a glycopeptide, a glycoprotein, a carbohydrate polymer or the like.
