摘要:
It is intended to provide a lipase activity inhibitor which shows a high inhibitory activity on pancreatic lipase, regulates the absorption of fat from meals and/or contributes to the regulation or prevention of obesity, a food and a drink containing the same, and a tea-origin lipase inhibitor being highly preferable and not worsening taste. It is also intended to provide a method of producing the lipase inhibitor. It is further intended to provide antioxidative agent. To overcome these problems, an epigallocatechin dimer (oolong homo bis flavans) or trimer is added to foods or drinks. Thus, the absorption of fat from meals can be regulated and an antioxidative effect can be obtained. The above compounds can be produced by reacting epigallocatechin gallate with formaldehyde in the presence of an acid.

An automatic vehicle wiper system including a wiper, a speed sensor which measures vehicle speed, a rainfall measuring device which measures amount of rainfall during predetermined intervals, a calculating device which calculates a wiping action frequency of the wiper as first data, depending on the amount of rainfall measured by the rainfall measuring device, a memory device which stores the first data calculated by the calculating device as second data when the vehicle speed measured by the speed sensor decreases to equal to or less than a predetermined value, and a wiping action frequency determining device which determines the wiping action frequency of the wiper by comparing the first data and the second data when the vehicle speed measured by the speed sensor becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value after it has been confirmed that the vehicle has stopped.
摘要:
An antiobestic agent of the present invention having antiobestic effect, carbohydrase inhibitory effect, blood sugar increase inhibitory effect, monosaccharide absorption inhibitory effect, cholic acid adsorptive excretion promoting effect, cholesterol lowering effect, blood triglyceride lowering effect and lipase inhibitory effect and being useful not only as an antiobestic agent but also as an antilipotrophic agent, an antihyperlipemic agent, an antiarteriosclerotic agent and an antidiabetic agent. Tamarind seed coat extract containing a large amount of procyanidin, which is a trimer represented by the following formula and serves as the active ingredient in the present invention, exhibits a potent antiobestic effect as such without the need for further purification. The antiobestic agent of the present invention is usable as a carbohydrase inhibitor, a blood sugar increase inhibitor, a monosaccharide absorption inhibitor, a cholic acid adsorptive excretion promoter, a cholesterol lowering agent, a blood triglyceride lowering agent and a lipase inhibitor. Moreover, use of the antiobestic agent makes it possible to produce foods or beverages and animal feeds having these effects, thus contributing to the relief or prevention of diabetes and obesity in our daily life
摘要:
A camera having a covering member which covers the upper side of the camera and having a projecting portion shaped as a pentagonal reflecting member; a first manually operable portion located at the covering member on one side of the projecting portion for designating one of a plurality of kinds of photographic data; a second manually operable portion located at the covering member on the other side of the projecting portion and adapted for commonly altering any of the plurality of kinds of photographing data to actually alter the designated one thereof in combination with the actual designation by the first manually operable portion; a light measuring device for measuring the luminance of the object to be photographed; a calculator for carrying out an exposure calculation based on the result of the light measuring; a display portion for displaying at least either one of shutter speed and aperture value obtained by the exposure calculation; and a display controller for controlling the display such that, when the first manually operable portion is operated, the display of at least either one of shutter speed and aperture value is turned off, and instead a designated photographing data is displayed.
摘要:
A camera system operable with data carried from a camera accessory to a camera body. The camera accessory has a ROM for storing various data at a plurality of addresses, respectively, each of which data consists of a plurality of bits, and a coupling terminal for receiving a train of clock pulses from the camera body. A circuit is also provided for sequentially designating the address of the ROM one by one to permit by ROM to output a data stored at the designated address. In the circuit, an address signal is formed in response to the clock pulses, received through the coupling terminal, for designating an address. The data derived from the ROM are transmitted to the camera body.

摘要:
A flash photographing system includes a camera body, a flash controller connected to the camera body and three flash devices: the first flash device is directly mounted on the camera body; the second flash device is mounted on the flash controller; and the third flash device is connected through a suitable cord to the flash controller. A microcomputer is provided in the camera body and also in each of the flash devices so as to control the three flash devices in various different modes of operations, such as simultaneous flash mode, sequence flash mode, and yet providing an appropriate amount of light for the proper exposure.
摘要:
A camera is adapted to operate with stored data by sensing the film speed data prepared on the surface of a film cartridge loaded in the camera to produce a data reading signal and reading the sensed film speed data in response to the data reading signal and detecting whether or not the the film loaded in the camera includes film speed data to provide a warning when a determination is made that the film speed data is not on the film cartridge. Film speed data may be loaded in the camera manually and the warning is interrupted in response to the manual setting of the film speed. At least one of the film speed data and the manually set film speed data is stored and the exposure data is calculated on the basis of the stored film speed data.
摘要:
A camera in which the film speed data and exposure time data are selectively indicated by a first indicator and aperture value data and override data are also selectively indicated by a second indicator.
摘要:
A camera in which both a light measuring operation and an exposure data calculating operation are made operative in response to either a manual exposure operation of a shutter release member or a manual operation of a manually operable means to be operated for altering data stored in a storing means which is co-acting in the exposure data calculating operation.
