  • Publication number: 20230255230
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an ingredient-stuffed soft candy that provides both of the texture of an ingredient felt during eating and the feeling of integration between the ingredient and a soft candy dough, and the shape retainability of the soft candy and to provide a soft candy that can provide a natural juicy feeling coming from the ingredient. The ingredient-stuffed soft candy includes an ingredient, a center dough containing the ingredient, and an outer-layer dough covering the center dough, in which the ingredient has a hardness of 1050 g or less at normal temperature, and the hardness of the center dough at normal temperature is relatively lower than the hardness of the outer-layer dough at normal temperature.

  • Patent number: 11266547
    Abstract: A liquid permeable surface sheet (3) includes an upper layer non-woven fabric (20) which is provided at the skin side, and which is hydrophilic, and a lower layer non-woven fabric (21) which is provided at the non-skin side, and which is water repellent. Multiple apertures (22) are formed which penetrate the upper layer non-woven fabric and the lower layer non-woven fabric. Accordingly, body fluid transfers smoothly through the apertures to an absorbent body. The upper layer non-woven fabric at the skin side is made to be hydrophilic such that body fluid readily permeates therethrough. The lower layer non-woven fabric at the non-skin side is made to be water repellent such that the body fluid which has passed through is not readily absorbed again. Accordingly, the backflow amount of body fluid can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8004984
    Abstract: This invention is to provide a technique enabling efficient routing in the entire network by totally viewing a state of the entire network from a specific server. An information processing method for managing paths between arbitrary nodes in a specific network according to the invention, includes: obtaining data concerning a utilization state of each link constituting a path, from associated nodes in the specific network; and calculating a value of dynamic transmission bandwidth in an entire path by using the data concerning the utilization state of each link constituting the path, and storing the calculated value into a management data storage. By the dynamic transmission bandwidth, that is, bandwidth, which can actually be used for communication to be carried out from now, it becomes possible to carry out efficient routing.
