Abstract: A composition for increasing blood flow is provided, wherein side effects such as lowering of blood pressure are reduced and blood flow is effectively increased in the capillaries. A composition containing arginine in an amount from 25 mg/kg body weight to 150 mg/kg body weight is also provided. A food composition or a feeding stuff containing the composition is also provided. Method of using the above compositions to increase blood flow is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a glutamine-containing composition which functions to increase blood flow. Glutamine is present in the composition in an amount of 25 mg/kg body weight to 150 mg/kg body weight. By administering the composition to a subject in need thereof, the blood flow in the capillary vessels can be efficiently increased, while inhibiting any side effects such as low blood pressure. The present invention also provides food or feed containing the composition for increasing blood flow.

Abstract: An embroidery data processing system controls an automatic sewing machine to produce an embroidery design having a blurred side or blurred boundary line between adjacent blocks which make up the embroidery design.

Abstract: Desired individual letter codes indicative of letter to be stitched on a piece of cloth by a sewing machine are selected and entered in relation to the character stitching sequence through a keyboard. Then, character identification codes are constructed according to a predetermined stitching sequence based on the entered individual letter codes and stored outer profiles. Stitch pattern data corresponding to the constructed character identification codes are read out from a memory, and used to control the sewing machine to produce the desired letters having different outer profiles.
