  • Patent number: 8993254
    Abstract: An entity of a Th2 adjuvant activity in mother's milk has been revealed as coenzyme A by HPLC and mass spectrometry. The followings have been found out that: a risk of developing atopic dermatitis can be evaluated by targeting coenzyme A; and any one of a food and mother's milk with a reduced risk of developing atopic dermatitis can be prepared by removing or inactivating coenzyme A.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5934412
    Abstract: A grease nipple includes a fixture, a plurality of nipples arranged in radial directions around the circumference of the fixture and fixed thereto, and a screw projecting at one side of the fixture and tapering in a direction away from the fixture. A grease feed passage is formed through the fixture and the screw for feeding grease to a universal joint spider. A clamp portion is further provided between the fixture and the screw. The clamp portion has a width, as measured between the fixture and the screw, to provide a spacing between the fixture and the universal joint spider for receiving a thickness of a grease feed pipe between one of the nipples and the universal joint spider when the grease nipple is attached to the universal joint spider via the screw. The clamp portion may be formed integral with the fixture and the screw.

  • Patent number: 4600477
    Abstract: A method of processing fermented liquid comprising(a) feeding said fermented liquid into a vacuum vaporizer, (b) heating the feed in said vaporizer to separate it into a vapor and a concentrated liquid fraction, (c) recycling said vapor to said vaporizer by compression so as to achieve heat-exchange with said feed therein thereby generating a new vapor and a condensate fraction; said condensate being discharged as a distillate, (d) supplying the remaining compressed vapor to a multistage distilling column, (e) separating said compressed vapor into two fractions, one with a higher boiling point than the other, within said distilling column, (f) condensing said distillate with the lower boiling point to yield an alcohol-rich distillate, and (g) discharging said fraction with the higher boiling point as a bottom residue, and a processor therefor, thereby discharging to the outside the low COD-liquid alone and recovering useful substances such as drinkable alcohol, livestocks feed and antibiotic substances.
