Patent number: 7595182Abstract: A novel endoglucanase derived from Staphylotrichum coccosporum, a polynucleotide encoding the endoglucanase, and a cellulase preparation containing the endoglucanase are disclosed. The endoglucanase or cellulase preparation is available for a washing use or fabric processing, such as a color clarification of a cellulose-containing fabric, a reduction of fuzz, an improvement of the touch feel and appearance of the fabric, providing a localized color change to the fabric, or a reduction of stiffness.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2004Date of Patent: September 29, 2009Assignee: Meiji Seika Kaisha, Ltd.,Inventors: Jinichiro Koga, Yuko Baba, Akitaka Nakane, Satoshi Hanamura, Tomoko Nishimura, Shuichi Gomi, Hidetoshi Kubota, Toshiaki Kono

Patent number: 7138263Abstract: There is provided an endoglucanase enzyme, which is useful for reducing fuzz of regenerated cellulose-containing fabrics, improving the touch and appearance, color clarification, localized variation in color, reducing stiffness and using it as components of a detergent, as well as deinking waste paper and improving freeness of paper pulp. A cDNA coding for the endoglucanase enzyme NCE5 was cloned and its DNA sequence and amino acid sequence derived from it were determined.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2001Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignee: Meiji Seika Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koichiro Murashima, Naomi Sumida, Akitaka Nakane, Koji Yanai, Tomoko Nishimura, Jinichiro Koga, Takeshi Murakami, Toshiaki Kono

Patent number: 6921655Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide enzymes that have high endoglucanase activity and yet exhibit high activity even under alkaline conditions, and genes encoding the same. The enzyme according to the invention has the following properties: a) exhibiting endoglucanase activity; and b) capable of completely removing fuzz from regenerated cellulose fabrics at a concentration of 1 mg of the protein/L or below. The enzyme of the invention having endoglucanase activity is a protein comprising the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 or 11; a modified protein thereof exhibiting endoglucanase activity; or a homologue of the protein or the modified protein.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 1999Date of Patent: July 26, 2005Assignee: Meiji Seika Kaisha, Ltd.Inventors: Yuko Nakamura, Tatsuki Moriya, Yuko Baba, Koji Yanai, Naomi Sumida, Tomoko Nishimura, Kouichirou Murashima, Akitaka Nakane, Takashi Yaguchi, Jinichiro Koga, Takeshi Murakami, Toshiaki Kono

Patent number: 5845125Abstract: A debugger which helps a user perform object-based debugging. A class information generation section (8) generates class information based on the source code. The execution section (12) executes the program. The object information generation section (13) generates object information based on class information and execution information. The user sets a breakpoint in a desired object via the breakpoint setting section (16). A breakpoint may be set at a desired location in the object. The break processing section (18) detects a breakpoint and breaks the execution of the program. The reservation section (21) reserves a debug operation with the identifier of an object. When there is an object that can be referenced by the reserved identifier, the reservation execution section (22) executes the operation reserved for the object.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1997Date of Patent: December 1, 1998Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Tomoko Nishimura, Masato Igarashi, Noriaki Koyama, Katsuhiko Ueki

Patent number: 5438448Abstract: The present invention discloses the construction and manufacturing method of a turning mirror which has a single face or multiple face reflector mirror for scanning laser light in a laser beam printer and the like. The disclosed construction and manufacturing method achieve a low-cost and high-accuracy turning mirror. Photo-setting resin is coated onto the surface of a base mount having a rotating shaft at its center. The surface of the base serves as a substrate for reflector mirror. A glass plate having a good flatness is placed into contact with the resin coating layer. Resin setting light is operated to irradiate the resin coating layer with the peripheral side fringe of the resin coating layer partially or entirely open in order to set the resin coating layer. The glass plate is then separated from the resin coating layer, allowing the flatness of the glass plate to be transferred to the resin coating layer. The turning mirror is then fabricated by attaching a metallic film onto the resin coating layer.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1992Date of Patent: August 1, 1995Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomoko Nishimura, Tomiaki Sakano, Katsuhiro Murano
