Abstract: A fuel cell module comprises: at least one cell stack including a plurality of single fuel cells supplied with a fuel gas and an oxidizing gas to generate power; a sealable housing accommodating the at least one cell stack and forming a power generation chamber inside the housing; a pressure vessel accommodating the housing; and an oxidizing gas supply pipe for supplying the oxidizing gas to the cell stack. At least one pressure equalizing opening is formed in the housing to allow communication between inside and outside of the housing. The at least one pressure equalizing opening includes only one pressure equalizing opening, or a plurality of pressure equalizing openings in which a distance between a pressure equalizing opening in the highest position and a pressure equalizing opening in the lowest position is within 0.1H, where H is a height of the housing.

Abstract: Frozen instant cooking noodles having a cross-sectional void space percent of 40 to 80% which are capable of uniformly thawing by heat in a very short time to provide a fully cooked noodles having good texture for eating are produced by subjecting noodles to .alpha. conversion so as to control a yield of the noodles within the range of 200 to 280%, quickly cooling the .alpha. converted noodles in cold water at 0.degree. to 5.degree. C., arranging individual strings of the noodle at random to form a noodle lump and freezing the lump.

Abstract: A process for the production of crab analogue meats from wheat gluten is disclosed. Meat material of finely fibriform structure typical of crab meats is produced by blending reducing agent and foaming agent with wheat gluten, and thereafter subjecting the resulting blended material to gelation with heat and stirring.
