Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a method of producing a container-packed processed food with noodles, wherein the container-packed processed food with noodles is prevented from collapsing by cooking or boiling, and maintained in an appropriate firmness even after stored for a long period of time, without impairing an original taste of a raw material of the noodles. The above objective is solved by a method of producing container-packed processed food with noodles, including: subjecting noodles to boil heat treatment and steam heat treatment, and subjecting the treated noodles to freeze treatment to obtain frozen noodles; and subjecting a container filled with the frozen noodles and a seasoning liquid containing a starch degradation product having a DE value of 4 to 18 in the range of 25% by mass and 40% by mass to heat sterilization treatment to obtain a container-packed processed food with noodles.

Abstract: A navigation system for an electric vehicle includes a telematics center, a display terminal, and a charging station. In response to a request from the display terminal, the telematics center sends a route search result, which is created based on information on an electric vehicle and the charging station and which includes base point information whose remaining battery capacity is to be confirmed, to the display terminal. The display terminal displays route guidance information, the current position, and a result of comparison between the current remaining battery capacity and the base point information to the user who is driving the electric vehicle.

Abstract: A transmission device includes first capturing means; second capturing means; extracting means that extracts a predetermined image from an image captured by the second capturing means; synthesizing means that synthesizes an image captured by the first capturing means with the predetermined image extracted by the extracting means to generate a synthesized image; and transmission means that transmits the synthesized image.

Abstract: An image production apparatus includes at least one image production unit having a latent image forming device for forming a latent image on an image carrying member and a developing device for attaching toner to the latent image formed by the latent image forming device. A toner image formed by the image production unit is transferred to a transfer medium to produce an image. The image production apparatus further includes a periodicity giving device for giving periodicity to movement in a main scanning direction of the image carrying member or transfer medium. According to this periodicity, the movement time from an image forming position to a transfer position, or the movement time of a transfer medium between adjacent transfer positions is set equal to an integral multiple of the period.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, attachment/detachment guide pins (10 and 11) are disposed on a side face of a belt cartridge (12). Attachment/detachment guide grooves (30, 31, and 32) which guide the attachment/detachment guide pins (10 and 11) are disposed in a frame (29) of a main unit of an image forming apparatus. A belt tension applying mechanism including a tension link (13) and a spring (15) is disposed on the side of the apparatus main unit. When the belt cartridge (12) is to be attached to the apparatus main unit, the cartridge is attached along the attachment/detachment guide grooves (30, 31, and 32), so that the rotation shaft of a tension roller (4) is easily and surely engaged with the belt tension applying mechanism (13 and 15).

A toner image formed by the image production unit is transferred to a transfer medium to produce an image. The image production apparatus further includes a periodicity giving device for giving periodicity to movement in a main scanning direction of the image carrying member. An amplitude of the period given by the periodicity giving device is larger than a variation amount in the main scanning direction for determining reversal of the movement in the main scanning direction of the image carrying member.
