Abstract:
The yeast which has γ-glutamylcysteine-producing ability and is auxotrophic for pantothenic acid is proliferated in a medium containing a sufficient amount of pantothenic acid, and then it is cultured in a medium containing a limited amount of pantothenic acid to increase the γ-glutamylcysteine content in its cells, whereby the yeast in which γ-glutamylcysteine is accumulated is obtained.
Abstract:
A gene encoding glutathione synthetase from Candida utilis is provided and food containing γ-glutamylcysteine cysteine or cystenylglycine is produced by cultivating Candida utilis modified by means of a gene encoding glutathione synthetase under a suitable condition and mixing the obtained culture or a fraction thereof or the culture or a fraction thereof subjected to heat treatment with a raw material of food or drink to process food or drink.
Abstract:
A decorative member for outdoors use is adapted to be coupled to a main functional member and has a surface that is externally exposed. The decorative member includes an outer member made of a metal, the outer member having inner and outer surfaces; and at least one inner member made of a synthetic resin and being fixedly attached to the inner surface of the outer member. The decorative member is adapted to be coupled to the main function member via the inner member.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system capable of individually controlling each of receiving devices while making full use of the advantages of broadcasting. Simultaneous transmission is carried out from a broadcasting device 2 to a plurality of receiving devices 6 via a broadcasting path. Further, the broadcasting device 2 sends operation control data to the receiving device 6 through a communication path. The receiving device 6 changes its operation in accordance with the operation control data when received broadcasting is decoded. In this way, each of the receiver devices 6 can be controlled individually using the operation control data while making full use of the advantages of broadcasting.
Abstract:
A plated component used in an outdoor environment comprises a component main unit, a metal coating formed over at least a part of the component main unit, and an oxide coating formed over at least a part of the component main unit.

Abstract:
Parts inexpensively coated that yet are difficult to mar. The reel body 1 of a double bearing reel is given as an example of a part superficially coated in accordance with the invention. It includes a metallic base portion 10, an oxide film layer 11, a substrate paint film layer 12, and a finishing paint film layer 13. The finishing paint film layer 13 is formed by the application of a self-mending paint material. Forming the paint film layer on the surface of the reel body 1 by applying a self-mending paint material by the self-mending function of the paint material thus restores scratched portions if the surface is damaged due to scratching or the like. Therefore, scratches due to injuries tend not to remain on the coated part and as a result, scratches are unlikely to damage the surface of the body of the part. Moreover, forming the layer by applying a paint material facilitates low cost production.
Abstract:
Mechanical assembly of magnesium alloy with steel or titanium/titanium alloy parts. Because the two major metal parts in the assembly have incompatible ionization energies, a part made from aluminum or zinc alloy, the ionization energy of which in intermediary between the two, or an electric insulator intervenes to prevent electrolytic corrosion between them. Furthermore, clearances between the two major metal parts, owing for example to manufacturing tolerances, are injected with filler. The mechanical assembly may be employed in human-powered rotary machines such as spinning reels and bicycle components.
