Publication number: 20220151270Abstract: A problem to be solved by the present invention is to produce Satsuma-age, namely deep-fried minced fish and vegetables, and batter liquid, rich in vegetables. The above problem has been solved by the present invention by substituting vegetables for all, most, or part of the water used in the production of the Satsuma-age as well as the batter liquid. The Satsuma-age provided by the present invention and fried food produced with the batter liquid provided by the present invention are excellent because they are rich in vegetable-derived nutrients. The Satsuma-age and the fried food produced are also excellent in flavor, taste, and mouth feel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2021Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Minoru NODA, Kazuki TOMIYAMA, Hiroaki SHIMA, Tsubasa KOGANEI, Hiroya SUGINO, Tetsuya SUGINO

Patent number: 8205584Abstract: A brushless motor of a variable valve mechanism varies a actuation parameter of an intake valve of an engine. A position sensor outputs a pulse signal when the brushless motor rotates. A position counter calculates a counter value by counting edges of the pulse signal. A motor control device obtains a detection value of a motor rotational angle based on the counter value when the motor control device is in a powered state. An engine control device determines that the detection value of the motor rotational angle is displaced from the actual value when the engine control device detects that the engine is operating and the motor control device portion is in a non-powered state.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2007Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Minoru Noda, Naohide Fuwa, Seiko Tamada
