Patent EP-1580277-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KUSUNOSE YASUHIRO
IPC: B01D15/16
Filed: 2003-12-24
Abstract: According to the process for producing amino acid
or salt thereof in the present invention, in the adsorption
step, an amino acid-containing aqueous solution is fed into
a pressure tight column so that a free amino acid is
adsorbed on a carbonate-type anion exchange resin packed in
the pressure tight column. Subsequently, in the elution
step, eluent liquid containing a hydrogen carbonate ion
and/or a carbonate ion is injected into the pressure tight
column in a pressurized state to elute the amino acid
adsorbed on the anion exchange resin and simultaneously to
regenarate the anion exchange resin into the carbonate-type.
In the case of purifying an acidic amino acid, an
aqueous ammonium carbonate solution is employed as the
eluent liquid. In the case of purifying a neutral amino
acid, an aqueous carbonic acid solution, an aqueous
hydrogen carbonate solution, an aqueous ammonium hydrogen
carbonate solution or an aqueous ammonium carbonate
solution is employed as the eluent liquid. Further, a
breakthrough liquid discharged from the adsorption step is
optionally concentrated to remove the volatile carbonate
acid component and ammonium component from the breakthrough
liquid. Thus, the solid content in the breakthrough liquid
can be reduced.

Abstract: In a method of verifying a user, a pass-sentence (Z1, Z2... ZN), comprising a string of word blocks which in sequence form a sentence known to the user, is associated with the user at step 12. At step 13, a pass number (Y1, Y2... YN) comprising a string of numbers between 0 and 9 is associated with the user. At step 14, a table having N+1 columns and ten rows is generated. The first column is filled with digits 0 to 9 sequentially from top to bottom. The word blocks Z1 to Z8 are each included in the table thus: Zp is placed in column P+1 and in row Yp. The other cells in the table are then filled with suitable word blocks so that each column contains word blocks of the same type. A user knowing their pass-sentence and seeing the table then determines their passnumber by identifying the row number for which the first word block in their pass-sentence is found, and so on, and enters it at step 16. The input is compared at step 17 to the passnumber from step 13. If the numbers are the same, then step 18 determines that the user is valid.

interrupting the operation for inputting the data by the key
due to any processing, an undo key is pressed and then the control
circuit sequentially executes the history data stored in the

data, thereby restoring a screen just before the interrupt. The
operation environment storing unit stores, as one piece of the
history data, image data or text data made by the operation for
inputting the data by the key.
