  • Quality evaluation method and apparatus for non-bran rice
    Patent number: 7016043
    Abstract: A quality evaluation method and apparatus for non-bran rice evaluate quality or taste of non-bran rice by identifying proportions of a hull layer, an aleurone layer, an endosperm layer, which adhere to a surface of the non-bran rice according to luminance levels of self-emitted fluorescence obtained by irradiating the non-bran rice with excitation light.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 16, 2002
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2006
    Assignees: Satake Corporation, Japan Rice Millers Association
    Inventors: Takeshi Fukumori, Shigeharu Kanemoto, Nobuhiro Matsumoto, Takamasa Mesaki, Hiroyuki Maehara, Yuka Kuribayashi, Michiko Matsuda, Kazuo Amano

  • Abrasive roll and method of producing the same
    Patent number: 5096466
    Abstract: A method of producing an abrasive roll comprises the steps of forming a mixture of substances such as abrasive grains, a bond, a temporary caking agent and a pore forming agent, molding the mixture into a body having a predetermined shape, and drying and then burning the body. The pore forming agent is constituted from a rice hull powder sieved to have a predetermined particle size, thereby enabling to produce an abrasive roll of high porosity which has pores having substantially ball-like shape and substantially uniform size and includes a bond having portions of high SiO.sub.2 concentration each adjacent to and surrounding one of the pores.
