  • Patent number: 11051530
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a chocolate-like food containing a highly unsaturated fatty acid-containing fat or oil, and the objective of the present invention is to provide such a chocolate-like food that is suppressed in change in the flavor over time. The present invention is able to suppress change in the flavor over time of a chocolate-like food containing a highly unsaturated fatty acid-containing fat or oil by adjusting the pH thereof to a value within a predetermined range. It is preferable to use a highly unsaturated fatty acid-containing fat or oil which has been subjected to antioxidation treatment. It is preferable that the antioxidation treatment is carried out by dispersing water phases, in each of which a predetermined amount of a water-soluble antioxidant is dissolved, in the highly unsaturated fatty acid-containing fat or oil such that the water phases have particle diameters of 300 nm or less.

  • Patent number: 7650715
    Abstract: A light-weight plant sheet including plant pieces between a base sheet and a top sheet is able to make growth by tearing the base sheet and top sheet, each having a mesh structure. The top sheet contains a paste to adhere the top sheet to the base sheet and to hold the plant pieces, and such a paste comes out of the fibers of the sheet when wet during the manufacturing process. When the plant sheet is placed on the desired surface, the plant pieces can grow using water and nutrition provided from the surface of the construction site and absorbed by the top sheet and the base sheet.

  • Patent number: 7035296
    Abstract: A data transmission system for cellular phones. A video data encoder encodes video data, and an audio data encoder encodes audio data. A video data storage unit stores encoded video data, and an audio data storage unit stores encoded audio data. A multiplexer multiplexes video data from the video data storage unit and audio data from the audio data storage unit. An audio signal detector measures the audio level of the inputted audio data and generates a data write control signal for controlling the video data encoder and the audio data encoder and an audio detected signal for controlling a multiplexing controller which generates a data read control signal for controlling the video data storage unit and the audio data storage unit and generates a data multiplexing control signal causing the multiplexer to output one of the video data, the audio data, and the multiplexed video and audio data.
