PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rhizobium-inoculating material of a legminous crops, improving efficiency of farm work.SOLUTION: The rhizobium-inoculating material is obtained by subjecting an elite strain of the rhizobium, having high nitrogen-fixing ability and suitable for the target legminous crops to liquid culture, and mixing the culture solution of the rhizobium with ultrafine powder zeolite. The zeolite used in this case is the one containing mordenite or clinoptilolite and comprising ultrafine zeolite particles having an average particle size of 1-10 μm. A natural zeolite produced at Kiriishi in Futatsui-cho of Yamamoto County in Akita Prefecture is preferably used as the zeolite. The legminous plant is hairy vetch, and hairy vetch rhizobium Y629 strain (NITE P-323) or S625 strain (NITE P-322) is used as the rhizobium.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new rice mutant in which a rice starch synthase and a rice branching enzyme are mutated.SOLUTION: There is provided a genetically immobilized rice mutant in which the gene loci of rice starch synthase IIIa type (SSIIIa) and rice branching enzyme IIb type (BEIIb) are recessive homozygous. The rice mutant has SSIIIa activity reduced compared with that of wild type rice. The rice mutant keeps ≥80% in seed weight and maintains an agricultural character in comparison with wild type and parent line rice. The starch formed by the rice mutant is a high-amylose starch rarely found in rice and has an amylose ratio of ≥40%.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an adsorbent which is made of hard active carbon having a high specific surface area and a high bulk density and efficiently adsorbs/removes microingredients in hydrocarbon oil, a method for producing the adsorbent, a method for removing the microingredients in the hydrocarbon oil using the adsorbent, and a fuel battery system. SOLUTION: The method for producing the adsorbent includes the molding carbonization treatment process in which a binder made of saccharide is added into vegetable biomass or a vegetable biomass preliminary carbonization treatment product, and the mixture, after being kneaded and molded, is carbonized to obtain a molded carbonization treatment product and the activation treatment process in which the obtained molded carbonization treatment product, after being impregnated with the binder, is activated to obtain a molded activation treatment product. The adsorbent for removing the microingredients in the hydrocarbon oil containing an activation treatment product which is obtained by the above method and has a specific surface area of at least 600 m 2 /g and a mean micropore width of at least 1.0 nm, the method for removing the mictoingredients in the hydrocarbon oil using the adsorbent, or the fuel battery system provided with the adsorbent are disclosed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a prestressed wooden floor slab bridge whose strength is increased without increasing the thickness of a glued laminated lumber. SOLUTION: Two prestressed wooden floor slabs having an almost same structure are vertically connected to each other. In the prestressed wooden floor slab, a plurality of glued laminated lumbers are arranged in the width direction and pinched by two steel plates from outside, and after PS steel bars are inserted through a plurality of through holes provided in the steel plates and glued laminated lumbers, the PS steel bars are tightened by nuts from outside of the steel plates to compress a plurality of the glued laminated lumbers, pinched by both side steel plates, through the steel plates. The steel plates on both sides of the prestressed wooden floor slab have projected joints which project from the back surface of the prestressed wooden floor slab at the inside of the prestressed wooden floor slab and are connected to the steel plates. In a state where the insides of the two prestressed wooden floor slabs face each other and are spaced from each other by a fixed distance, the two prestressed wooden floor slabs are connected and fixed to the projected joints thereof using connecting members. The connecting members forms, for example, a truss structure using truss members (vertical members, diagonal members and the like). COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an accelerator for heavy metal absorption into plant which is less in the possibility of causing environmental problems, and allows a lot of heavy metals in soil to be efficiently absorbed into plant inexpensively, and also to provide a method of purifying soil using the same. SOLUTION: The accelerator for heavy metal absorption into plant contains alginic acid, its salt or their decomposed products and is to be added to soil containing heavy metal.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cultivation method for suppressing the potassium content to 30-40% of that of conventional leaf vegetables while retaining growth of edible parts of leaf lettuce, Korean lettuce (Sanchu), and a kind of Chinese cabbage. SOLUTION: This cultivation method includes cultivating leaf vegetables with a small potassium content by cultivating leaf vegetables by hydroponics, and cultivating while adjusting the potassium content of a culture medium. In more details, the method includes adding potassium (KNO 3 ) and cultivating without reducing the potassium content in a water culture medium in an initial period in a cultivation period, and then, changing KNO 3 as a potassium element in the water culture medium, to a water culture medium added with NaNO 3 of the same concentration for 7-10 days until harvesting, and adjusting the pH of the water culture medium to 6.0-6.5 using NaOH through the cultivation period.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composite member for wood structure with a Japanese cryptmeria taken into consideration, to be used as a beam or a column in a fire-proof building. SOLUTION: This composite member is joined with a flame retardant treated plywood as a fire stop layer and an outer layer structural laminated wood as a burning layer, on both faces of an inner layer structural laminated wood as a strength support layer. A reinforcing gypsum board is joined further to cover butt ends of the inner layer structural laminated wood and the flame retardant treated plywood, in order to enhance fire-proofness. A butt end of the reinforcing gypsum board is constituted to inclease a beam height longer than the thickness of the gypsum board, so as to be covered with the outer layer structural laminated wood.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide coated paper for printing, light in weight, improved in stiffness and excellent in printing workability, because, generally, when decreasing weight of coated paper, methods decreasing basis weight of base paper and coating amount are provide, but, when decreasing basis weight of base paper, the paper thickness is decreased in proportion to lightening, stiffness is decreased, and further troubles such as dog ear and dry folds are liable to be caused in offset rotary printing, and, when decreasing coated amount, demerit of easily causing piling trouble happens, whereby the paper is hardly provide by conventional technologies. SOLUTION: There is provided coated paper for printing, having on at least one surface a coated layer containing a pigment and an adhesive, wherein the adhesive contains glycogen. Preferably, the glycogen is plant glycogen. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device capable of determining frequency of a boundary for separating bands and reducing volume of processings for a specific frequency band in acoustic signal processings. SOLUTION: In this low delay signal processor, volume of processings in the band affecting no perception of the direction of sound source in signal analysis processings and signal generation processings is reduced or omitted based on the characteristics of perception of the direction of sound source of the sense of hearing being strong on deterioration of signal with respect to the specific frequency band.
