Drawing verification system, client apparatus, recording medium, server apparatus and control method
Patent number: 11843761Abstract: In a system, a server establishes a session for verification of drawing information and implements information communication between clients connected to the session. The verification in the session is performed by laying out rendering object information used to render an object of the drawing information in a virtual 3D space based on layout information. The system comprises: establishing, upon receiving a session start request from one of the clients storing a verification target drawing information, the session to which the client storing the drawing information is able to connect; managing state information indicating a state of the 3D space for the session; receiving information of a verification input made at the clients; changing the state information upon receiving the verification input; and transmitting, to the connected clients, shared information necessary to render the 3D space.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: HIRATA CORPORATIONInventors: Maasa Izumida, Yuji Nonaka, Yoko Osumi -

Publication number: 20100113390Abstract: The present invention provides a fucoidan-derived low molecular weight compound with a good quality of taste, which has a specified structure and function and is free from problems in absorption, antigenicity, uniformity, an anticoagulant activity and so on, which problems arise when developing fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide having an extremely large molecular weight, as drugs or health foods. As a result of analyzing low molecular weight compounds obtained by acid hydrolysis of fucoidan, the inventors have identified fucoidan oligosaccharides (I) to (XI). Further, these oligosaccharides have been found to have anti-obesity and/or blood glucose elevation suppressing effects through inhibition of carbohydrate and/or lipid absorption as a result of ?-glucosidase inhibition and/or lipase inhibition.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2007Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicants: SUNTORY HOLDINGS LIMITED, TROPICAL TECHNOLOGY CENTER LTD.Inventors: Shigeaki Fujikawa, Yuko Fukui, Hiroshi Watanabe, Yuji Nonaka, Takeshi Yasumoto, Hideo Naoki
