Abstract: The present invention relates to a meat processed food, into which a gel-like material is locally and quantitatively filled. Provided is a method for producing a meat processed food, having a step of cooling a gelling agent solution prepared by adding a gelling agent into water and then heating and dissolving the gelling agent, so as to prepare a gel-like material having fluidity; and a step of filling the gel-like material into a plurality of predetermined positions inside a meat-containing raw material.

Abstract: A bending mechanism, a bending method and a food manufacturing method which are capable of bending a sheet-shaped flexible food material, such as a skin, with high accuracy and high speed are provided. A conveyance unit 11 conveys a flexible food material 81. A support unit 12 supports a bending reference portion 85 being a part of the flexible food material 81 in at least a part of a section while the flexible food material 81 is conveyed from a first conveyance area A1 to a second conveyance area A2. The conveyance unit 11 includes a first component part 21 and a second component part 22.

Abstract: A food production apparatus, a rotation method and a food production method which stably and accurately rotate a foodstuff workpiece by a desired angle are provided. At least any one of a first rotation unit (31) and a second rotation unit (32) is moved in such a manner that a foodstuff workpiece (W) is nipped and held by the first rotation unit (31) and the second rotation unit (32). The first rotation unit (31) and the second rotation unit (32) which nip and hold the foodstuff workpiece (W) are actively rotated in synchronization with each other. At least any one of the first rotation unit (31) and the second rotation unit (32) is moved in such a manner that the foodstuff workpiece (W) is released from the first rotation unit (31) and the second rotation unit (32).

Abstract: A food material processing mechanism, a food material processing method and a food manufacturing method which enable highly accurate bending of a sheet-shaped flexible food material such as a skin are provided. A food material processing mechanism includes a conveyance unit and a processing unit. A conveyance unit conveys a sheet-shaped flexible food material in a conveyance direction. A processing unit forms a bending reference portion being a reference portion for bending, in the flexible food material being conveyed by the conveyance unit. The processing unit includes a reference formation unit and a pressing unit. The reference formation unit locally applies a force to the flexible food material to form the bending reference portion. The pressing unit presses the flexible food material against the conveyance unit at least temporarily while the reference formation unit forms the bending reference portion in the flexible food material.

Abstract: A food material processing mechanism (71) includes: a conveyance unit (11) that conveys a soft food material (81) in a conveyance direction (D1); a support unit (30) that is provided rotatably with respect to a rotation shaft extending in a width direction (D2) orthogonal to the conveyance direction (D1), to support the soft food material (81) conveyed by the conveyance unit (11); and a pressing unit (40) that presses a part of a folded portion (81a) of the soft food material (81) supported by the support unit (30) by jetting air thereto, to form a bending reference portion (85) serving as a reference portion for bending.

Abstract: A magnetic core is shaped in a ring having a gap and disposed to surround a conductive wire. When an electric current flows in the conductive wire, a magnetic field is generated in the gap. A sensor package includes a Hall element and a lead frame, which are embedded in a resin mold. The sensor package is disposed in the gap to produce an output signal corresponding to the magnetic field in the gap. The Hall element is positioned in the center of the gap, that is, at the position which is the same distance from the end surfaces of the magnetic core.

Abstract: In a stepping motor, each of four integrally molded annular stators constituting two pairs has an annular plate having a central hole in which a magnet rotor is to be inserted, and pole teeth that form magnetic pole portions separated from the magnet rotor at a predetermined gap. The pole teeth of one annular stator of a given pair extend from the annular plate to be perpendicular to the other of the given pair, and are equidistantly arranged around the central hole to be shifted from the pole teeth of the other annular stator by a half pitch. Mounting holes are formed in each annular plate at predetermined spaces in the circumferential direction, and the mounting holes formed in the annular plates of given annular stators of different pairs that are arranged back to back are located at the same positions. Molded insulating films are formed on surfaces, which do not oppose the magnet rotor, of all the annular stators.

Abstract: A stepping motor for a timepiece is constituted by a rotatable rotor magnet on an outer surface of which magnetic poles having different polarities are alternately formed, and two stator assemblies, each including a pair of stators opposing around the rotor magnet to have a gap and having stator magnetic pole portions, and an excitation coil for exciting the pair of stators, for supplying currents to the excitation coils to rotate the rotor magnet. The two stator assemblies are disposed to be separated by a predetermined distance in an axial direction of the rotor magnet, so that stator gap central lines of the two stator assemblies cross each other at an angle of 90.degree. when viewed from the axial direction.
