Title: Enteral nutrient
Inventor: MURAO KANEHISA
IPC: A23L29/20
Filed: 2005-10-11
Abstract: It is intended to provide a novel system whereby an enteric nutritional supplement or a thickened liquid food can be solidified so that it can be easily administered within a short period of time without liquefying in the body to thereby lighten a care-giver~s burden in tube feeding such as gastrostomic feeding. As the results of studies, it is found out that such a nutritional supplement or a thickened liquid food can be quickly thickened or solidified at a temperature of 40~C or below by using a starch adhesive, which contains as the main component sodium iota-carrageenan, sodium kappa-carrageenan, sodium lambda-carrageenan or a mixture thereof, without melting the starch adhesive by heating. Further, it is confirmed that the product is almost free from water liberation when administered from a syringe. That is, use of the above-described carrageenan as a starch adhesive (a semi-solidifying agent) makes it possible to produce the desired semi-solidified enteric nutritional supplement as described above.

Filed: 2007-04-20
Abstract: In an electric power transmission network, comprising several substations interconnected by power transmission lines, a communication device of a substation communicates over a power transmission line to a communication device of a neighboring substation by using command signals (A, B, C, D) in a frequency band (F) and a guard signal (G) located in a first half (F2) of the frequency band (F).  For successive lines, a repeating sequence of different schemes (a1, b1) of command signals (A, B, C, D) is used, each of the schemes (a1, b1) comprising only command signals (A, B, C, D) with frequencies located in a second half of the frequency band (F1).  By using a repeating sequence of different schemes (a1, b1) for successive lines and by using in each of the schemes (a1, b1) only command signals (A, B, C, D) with frequencies located in one half of the reserved frequency band, it is possible to reduce the number of different frequency bands required in electric power transmission networks for transmitting command signals (A, B, C, D) used for coding (tele-) protection commands.
