Abstract: The present invention relates to a texturized-protein food ingredient in which an algae-derived protein raw material is used, the food ingredient having exceptional color, aroma, and mouthfeel. This texturized-protein food ingredient is characterized by containing a texturized protein obtained by texturizing a raw material mixture including (a) an algae-derived protein raw material and (b) a protein raw material that is different from (a) and that has a protein content of 70 mass % or greater. Combining (a) the algae-derived protein raw material and (b) the protein raw material that is different from (a) and that has a protein content of 70 mass % or greater, as protein raw materials, makes it possible to obtain a texturized protein having exceptional expansion properties.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide: a method for improving the stability of an oil or fat composition for frying use by preventing the coloration of the oil or fat composition and also preventing the increase in an anisidine value and the decrease in the content of a tocopherol compound in the oil or fat composition when a food material is fried with the oil or fat composition; and a stabilizer for an oil or fat composition for frying use. [Solution] A method for stabilizing an oil or fat composition for frying use according to the present invention is characterized in that a chlorophyll compound is added at a concentration of 0.05 to 2 ppm by mass inclusive to an edible oil or fat. It is preferred that the chlorophyll compound is added in the form of a chlorophyll compound-rich solution having a chlorophyll compound concentration of 1 to 1,000 ppm by mass inclusive. A stabilizer for an oil or fat composition for frying use according to the present invention contains a chlorophyll compound as an active ingredient.

Abstract: A road obstacle monitoring device is disclosed, in which a monitoring imaging section monitors and images a road section, where road obstacles by wave flooding, land slip, etc. are foreseen, to output image signals; the image signals thus generated are data-processed by an image processing section so that component data corresponding to the road obstacles are extracted; and the component data corresponding to the road obstacles thus extracted are measured by a measuring recognizing section for measuring the component data corresponding to the road obstacles thus extracted so that it is detected from a result of measurements whether there exist the road obstacles or not and a result of recognition thus obtained is displayed for warning so as to inform passengers, drivers of vehicles, etc. passing therethrough of the road obstacles by wave flooding, land slip, etc. in the road section to be monitored.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for identifying a person by making use of his fingerprint. The uneven fingerprint surface of a finger is scanned by a laser beam through a transparent plate. The distance between positions of the surface of the transparent plate serving as a reference surface of reflection and of the uneven surface of the fingerprint is detected as a deviation value due to the scanning. Pattern information obtained from the deviation value is indicative of undulation of the uneven surface of the fingerprint. The pattern information is collated with registered fingerprint data so as to determine whether or not the person whose fingerprint has been detected is registered or not.

Abstract: A Doppler radar for forecasting collision, in which three consecutive Doppler signals are obtained by radiating microwave forwardly from the front of a car, the frequency of the microwave being consecutively switched in three steps at a constant interval, and combining the aforesaid microwave and reflected microwave reflected from an object for obtaining intelligence about the distance of the object from the car front, residual time left for the object to reach the car front as well as forecasting collision or non-collision from two of the three Doppler signals and obtaining intelligence about the sense of relative velocity of the object relative to the car front from the remaining Doppler signal and one of the aforesaid two Doppler signals.
