is trying to "develop technology that returns food to its original freshness to an extreme limit." In an effort to develop technology of this kind, we are making the following proposals
Trang 1C ELLS A LIVE S YSTEM The CAS Energy Function has an international patent
Trang 2The starting point of CAS (Cells Alive System)
The clue to development was the phenomenon of freezing rain
Thirty-five years ago, I had an opportunity to talk with an American pilot from whom I heard about the phenomenon of freezing rain It is when rain freezes as it hits
an object during the cold months It was then that I realized that nature has energies that have not yet been explained and that those energies cause a wide variety of phenomena I wondered if I could make this phenomenon artificially I visited university professors at their research facilities to ask if they could help me with the development
of energies on the earth Some professors would not listen to my proposal of joint research, because those areas were quite new to them
As there was not any reference book or literature, I had made a lot of equipment without success and I was just about to give up development, an idea suddenly came
to me It was that the freezing rain phenomenon might have to do with the magnetic energy from the earth
The initial step of development, was a dielectric freezer that uses weak energy in order
to freeze fresh cream The dielectric freezing method achieved excellent results for freezing cakes However, it could not achieve the results that satisfied those involved in the agricultural,fishery, dairy, livestock and food processing industries, because it was only an extension of quick freezing I was eager to develop technology with producers from both the primary industries and food processors whom were satisfied, and repeated the process of trial and error Working in cooperation with doctors from the medical field, I was able to successfully develop CAS which
is entirely different from the quick freezing technology
Using medical technology, bring food back to its original freshness
ABI Co., Ltd is trying to "develop technology that returns food to its original freshness to an extreme limit."
In an effort to develop technology of this kind, we are making the following proposals to those people who belong
to the primary industry of agriculture, fishing, diary, livestock and processed food among the food industry: Following the basic principle of ABI let us return food to its original freshness And "Let us return processed food
to fresh food that has been just made." Cooking professionals are saying, "CAS frozen foods are fresh" as soon as they cut it with a knife Our producers are pleased to say that they can deliver, not only seasonal food goods, but the "taste
of food just prepared" to customers with confidence
We would like to explain the difference between a quick freezing machine that aims to improve the quality of frozen food and CAS whose aim is to "return food to its original state and freshness." ABI Co., Ltd is challenging and will challenge "freshness" without end
Version-up of tastes − we will equip your freezer with CAS-2.
A quick freezing machine freezes water molecules in food within 30 minutes
We have conducted tests at our research center on professional Japanese dishes, French dishes and Chinese dishes We came to realize that it is important to keep the core temperature of food materials between -10℃ and -30℃, depending on the food material
ABI Co., Ltd is successful in developing a system that can upgrade the taste by equipping the CAS system to quick freezing machines (such as rack type, tunnel, spiral and alcohol freezing,and brine freezing) with producers from not only Japan but also other countries We have started to market the system under the brand name of CAS-2
Why does the primary industry and food processing makers adopt the CAS function?
The reason for an attaching the CAS function to the existing rapid freeze machine is that improving a taste without using an additives, and because it wants to offer quality pleased with by a consumer
Many people such as ambassadors and staff members of governmental agencies from Ireland,England, Mexico,

ABI Co., Ltd.
Trang 3come to our research facility to make effective use of the world's resources We would like Japanese producers to realize countries around the world have started to seek high quality and good tasting food goods The Japanese standard of food has always been "standard of good taste, safety, security and health." I am now aware that the fact that producers of the world have chosen the CAS functions to produce higher quality of products shows that the Japanese brand is now the world standard
New function
It works as hybrid of rapid freeze machine and suppress consumption of electric energy, and it is the newly developed for a purpose whether you bring quality close to it fresh state
System to share technology with customers in order to stress quality
When ABI Co., Ltd delivers a CAS System to the primary industry and food makers of other countries as well as Japan, the company provides the customers with services of the system.Using the internet communication, the ABI Center always monitors how the CAS system functions of customers are using Monitoring includes functions, temperature and usage methods of the CAS functions at the site in order to stress freshness As soon as there arises some irregular function from the system and inconvenience occurs, the center will advise the customers on how to correct them via e-mail The use of a fish-eye lens camera enables the center to always communicate with the customer Also to provide them with advice on processing technology while monitoring the usage conditions
of the CAS function

CAS is an abbreviation for "Cells Alive System." CAS is a function that reproduces fresh and good tasting food and food materials Magnetic-field-energy-generating equipment developed by ABI generates weak energy evenly in the quick freezing equipment, by doing so it enables CAS energy to produce good tasting food that may be kept, and then freezes the food The pictures taken by an electronic microscope shows a clear difference in the tissues The key to good taste is the principle of CAS, by preserving the original taste of food and food materials flavor, fantastic appeal and eating enjoyment without any drips occuring from the food itself
Trang 4Countries of the world are now paying attention
While people are afraid that food resources of the world are running short,
the minister and the chief of Food Ministry of Ireland came to Japan and concluded a technical support agreement between ABI Co., Ltd and the government of Ireland
to provide their nation with fresh tasting seasonal foods.
While people are afraid that food resources of the world are running short, the minister and the chief of Food Ministry
of Ireland came to Japan and concluded a technical support agreement between ABI Co., Ltd and the government
of Ireland to provide their nation with fresh tasting seasonal foods Not only in Japan, but also in the whole world's food supply conditions are growing tight Under such situations, many countries have started to introduce the CAS system With the minister and the chief of the ministry of Ireland attending the ceremony for the technical-tie-up agreement between ABI Co., Ltd and both governments of Ireland and Britain, we can see that they realize the important the potentiality of CAS In addition, Japanese governmental agencies as well as agriculture- and marine product-related governmental agencies of the world often visit our research center to negotiate technical tie-up agreements I myself (Norio Owada) am also invited by governmental agencies from Asian countries to give them technical guidance and advice Judging from the above examples, we can see that the desire and scope for the use
of CAS have been expanding worldwide
To the world of medicine, to the world of science and to "application to the world of food" at which we are aiming
Japanese newspapers and magazines as well as Irish newspapers has been
published the report for the memorandum between Irish Government and ABI.

The Irish Government Business Affairs (Enterprise Ireland), the
Grimsby Institute of Further and Higher Education (GIFHE) in
Britain and ABI have agreed to supporting the latest freezer and
refrigeration technology towards the fishery industry in Ireland.
Mr Frank Ryan of EI's Director, Mr Lynton Perry of GIFHE's
Director and President Norio Owada of ABI signed the
memorandum in Tokyo on 27th of June, 2006 EI will encourage
the use of CAS (Cells Alive System), which does not destroy the
cells at the time of freezing, for the Irish fishery industry It will
also offer customer information and support to GIFHE which
will introduce the CAS system GIFHE will introduce CAS into a
demonstration center from now on by giving assistance and
instruction to the Irish fishery, who wishes to adopt the CAS
system ABI will also provide their support "With ABI and GIFHE
united the memorandum will have a huge impact The Fishery
Industry can be strengthened using this technology," said Director
Ryan at signing ceremony Although fully supported this
idea."CAS has proved its technology through the medical field,
such as organ preservation and tissue reproduction treatment.
This proven technology
is also transferred and used in the food indus-try The technology will demonstrate how food products when thawed, can return from a frozen state to its original state, will be taught to Irish fishery
c o m p a n i e s T h e resources of the earth are running short With this technology the Japanese consumer will also be able to enjoy eating delicious seafood from Ireland This will also be able to be exported to the rest of the world, " said President Owada."It is a great pleasure to learn about ABI's new technology with EI I believe that this is brand new technology never seen before," said Mr Perry of GIFHE with great expectation for the project.

Trang 6Encounter with Mr.Owada
It was seven years ago that I began developing a new observational equipment to be installed to the Subaru Telescope at NAOJ Hawaii Observatory that I first met Mr Owada, president of ABI Co., Ltd In order to remove thermal noises, the new-type spectroscope equipment needed to be stored in a large refrigerator with a capacity of about 4.86m2 on the condition that it would always be used under -50℃ and in a low temperature environment I visited Mr Owada at his office and asked him to cooperate with my project though my project might not be helpful for the food industry Without thinking of any profit from business, he was kind enough to cope with my project from operational tests from the new-type spectroscope system to installation of the equipment
to the Hawaii Observatory at the Mauna Kea summit Finally, we were successful in operating the system at the dome of the Subaru Telescope
CAS and application of nature's energy phenomenon While I was testing this research and development project under the cooperation of ABI Co., Ltd and discussing
it with him, I was surprised and impressed to see that this company had been developing CAS functions for the last
35 years It has recognized the energy phenomena of nature, and has established a revolutionary technology to preserve food materials that keeps to original taste and flavour of food in the food industry Achieving good results
in the research of keeping biomedical tissues in the medical field, while also still continuing new technological development in this field, CAS is applying the technology to other fields other than these fields Many people hesitate to start development in using energy phenomena from nature because it is difficult to theorize it Mr Owada, however, has made full use of his own imagination and creativity, preceded experimental verification and achieved good results by piling up proven results Without the "Owada" type of idea and ability to get things done, the CAS system would not have been invented
As an expert of astrophysics and from the viewpoint that I am involved in nature's energy phenomena of the earth, from time to time I talk with Mr Owada about important roles and effects of our solar energy and magnetic field There is an opinion that migrating birds know the direction by the position of the sun and the stars but it is generally proved that they fly several thousands of kilometers without making any mistake while feeling magnetic fields from the earth Therefore, if it were not for magnetic fields from the earth, migrating birds could not fly nor carrier pigeons return to their nest nor fish migrate
Thanks to the boon of solar energy, on the other hand, plants
produce carbohydrates and glucoses of high-energy substances
from carbon dioxide in the air through the photosynthesis
process Thus, magnetic fields of the earth and solar energy play
important roles in order for man to survive From these
view-points, I expect that, while ABI Co., Ltd is attaching importance
to the CAS functions as a new idea that reproduces and uses
nature's energy phenomena that they have developed, the
com-pany will further develop the technology to apply not only to the
food and medical care fields but also to other engineering fields
by making full use of the "Owada way" in developing the idea

Trang 7Encounter with Mr Owada When I paid attention to the CAS functions of ABI Co., Ltd., I had been encountering
a tall wall because I had tested a variety of methods on freezing, preservation, reproduction and implantation of periodontal membrane, but I could not get any satisfactory result On that occasion, a professor who was involved in research for cardiac transplantation at a university introduced me to Mr Owada, president of ABI Co., Ltd., who had developed the CAS functions, one of the technologies to preserve tissues
Application of CAS to the medical field and realization of freezing, long preservation, reproduction and implantation of teeth
As periodontal membrane frozen by a program freezer with the CAS functions can pre-serve stable cells without giving any damage, it has enabled us to freeze, prepre-serve long, reproduce and implant teeth for the first time It is considered that CAS technology may generate the following phenomena by further accurate control in such technical fields
as freezing, preservation, reproduction and implantation of biological cell tissues, and preservation by super-cooling and implantation of organ in the bio and medical world
1 The technology controls deposition of micro ice crystal (hydrogen band of water molecule) that does not damage cell membrane and preserves the freshest possible cell tissues
2 The technology releases super-cooling, accelerates the spread of freezing, prevents essential elements of the cell from dispersing during the freezing process and helps cellular cytoplasm in its evenness and stability
3 The technology keeps and stabilizes the hydration structure of food ground substances including protein and hydration structures of enzyme
I would like to further brush up CAS technology in the medical field and make utmost efforts to keep fresh cell tissue structures and essential elements even after freezing, preservation and reproduc-tion of such structure and elements
Evaluation by Dr Kawada: The pictures using an electronic microscope proves that cell tissues frozen by the CAS functions clearly remain and have a higher ratio of reproduction
Experimental proof in the medical field

Only CAS can do this
We can provide consumers with sweet as if it has just been picked corn to enjoy at any time
The pumpkin increases sugar content and becomes more
delicious after harvesting We can provide you with the most
delicious pumpkin at any time
We can supply good tasting spinach to consumers
We can deliver the mangoes to consumers directly from the
local field in a surprisingly sweet condition
Consumers can use avocadoes as fruits or for cooking in a good and sweet condition
Good tastes of CAS Agricultural products
The people of the primary industry can provide consumers with these agricultural
products in a fresh condition by building a local processing factory.
Trang 9This is the internal organ of a mackerel pike that has been stored for one year but it is not dissolved A traditional chilled method allows it to dissolve
The season of a rock oyster is short CAS can send the
seasonal taste of a rock oyster to consumers at any time of the
year
We can send the good and seasonal taste of red sea bream
to customers any time of the year in the form of raw
The people of the world can enjoy, fresh cuttlefish which
tastes as if it has just been caught
This mackerel pike has been stored for one year in a harmonic vibrating freezing store after freezing with CAS You can still eat it in the form of raw fish (sashimi)
The color returns to this transparency after defrosting
Good tastes of CAS food materials
fish and shellfish
Fishery operators can provide consumers and restaurants with seasonal raw fish,
grilled fish and cooked fish by processing as soon as they are caught
Compared with traditional frozen fish and shellfish, ours are "this is fresh", says
a chef of Japanese dishes
This is a new system that replaces an old chilled system.

con-tamination Meat stored for four years is not contaminated It
can be used and delivered for steak after defrosting And
delivered to consumers after processing it with CAS
This 2 year old preserved pork cutlet is almost the same quality as fresh pork, you can sell it coated with breadcrumbs
or after frying
Notice how the batter is firmly attached
In an experiment by a large meatpacking company, the meat
was preserved for four years and defrosted Notice frash color
of the meat, remains tasty and very juicy
Have a look This is giblets of a chicken The picture below
is the frozen by CAS and the above is the defrosted The delicious tasting chicken that can be deliver for grilling, raw meat(sashimi) and smoky meat to customers any time
Ham makers usually slice meat at midnight and deliver to
each super market CAS does not allow meat to oxidize or to
produce any drips after defrosting, therefor ham makers able
to process meat during business hours
From ordinary frozen hamburg to butcher's hand made ham-burg Getting an idea from this hamburg, you can create a new business of process food such as a cooked dish and grilled dish
Good tastes of CAS food materials livestock
An American large stock producer says, "ABI's CAS functions for livestock do not allow fat to get oxidized after defrosting, and generates good color of meat after
defrosting So it is still 'fresh' even after defrosting."
The CAS for livestock is introduced to producers of livestock worldwide.
