  • Erasable Ink, Method of Erasing Image Including the Same, and Method of Recycling Recording Medium Using the Erasing Method
    Publication number: 20070228005
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for easily and promptly erasing an image (including a character) formed on a printed article with a low cost, and an apparatus employing such method. A printed article bearing an image formed on a surface including an inorganic pigment is exposed to a reactive gas generated by creeping discharge or corona discharge induced by a voltage applied between a pair of opposed electrodes, whereby the image is erased.

  • Decoloring ink for ink jet printing and ink jet printing method using it
    Publication number: 20040150702
    Abstract: A decoloring ink for ink jet printing containing an Monascus pigment. An inclusion of an Monascus pigment enables printed characters and/or images to be preserved as long as they are kept in the dark, but they are quickly decolored on exposure to visible light and/or ultraviolet light when they are no longer needed.

  • Spore germination inhibitor and food containing the same
    Patent number: 6506431
    Abstract: The spore germination inhibitor of the invention is 6-carbamoyl-2-pyridine carboxylic acid which is produced by a microorganism of genus Bacillus, such as Bacillus subtilis, and can inhibit germination of sporogenous bacteria resulting in the prevention of spoilage and putrefaction of foods, particularly in combination with D-alanine.

  • Novel microorganisms and method for producing xylitol or D-xylulose
    Publication number: 20020061561
    Abstract: According to the present invention, there are provided microorganisms having an ability to producing xylitol or D-xylulose by fermentation, and a method for producing xylitol or D-xylulose using the microorganisms. Osmophilic microorganisms were collected from soil, and the obtained microorganisms were searched for a bacterium having an ability to produce xylitol or D-xylulose from glucose. Xylitol or D-xylulose is produced by culturing an isolated bacterium in a suitable medium to accumulate xylitol or D-xylulose in the medium, and collecting xylitol or D-xylulose from the medium.
