Abstract: The present invention is to provide a bus arbitration apparatus and a bus arbitration method not reducing data transfer capability as a whole and preventing a loss of transferred data. It performs the arbitration with priority in response to properties of bus masters. It sequentially arbitrates a first hierarchy bus master of which requests are urgent, a second hierarchy bus master that requests data processing in real time, and a third hierarchy bus master that is neither a first hierarchy bus master nor a second hierarchy bus master sequentially.

The present invention relates to an integrated circuit device having a Cu wiring layer, a barrier layer therefor and a dielectric layer, wherein the barrier layer is represented by a compositional formula of TaOxNy (the range of x being 0<x<2.5, and the range of y being 0<y<1). Further, the present invention relates to an integrated circuit device having a Cu wiring layer, a barrier layer therefor and a dielectric layer, wherein the barrier layer is represented by a compositional formula of Ta1−aMaObNc (M being at least one member selected from the group consisting of elements of Groups 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14 of the long form of the periodic table, the range of a being 0<a<1, the range of b being 0<b<2.5, and the range of c being 0<c<1).

Abstract: The objective is to provide a game system and an information storage medium that enable another player to enter into a game space that a first player is playing in, at any time during the game. When a 2P player issues a request to join into a game within a first game space, while a 1P player is already playing the game in the first game space, that request is accepted. Reconstruction information for reconstructing the first game space is created and sent to a second game machine. The second game machine reconstructs the first game space based on this reconstruction information, so that the 2P player can play the game within the reconstructed game space. This enables the 2P player to join into a game within the first game space, at any time during the game.

Abstract: An image generation system and program for implementing motion representation with variety while using a motion play technique based on motion data. The present invention performs a first motion correction in which a head or gun of an enemy character is turned toward a player (or player's character or virtual camera) and a second motion correction in which the skeleton shape of the enemy character is slightly changed when the enemy character is hit by a shot. In the second motion correction, the skeleton shape is slightly changed by using a restoring force for returning the skeleton shape to its original form and hit information (hitting force and direction) while gradually reducing the amount of slight change of the skeleton shape as time passes. The position and rotation angle of the base (or body coordinate system) of the enemy character are fixed to those specified by the motion data.

Abstract: An image generation device and an information storage medium that make it possible to increase the virtual realism and dramatic effect of a shooting, game in an efficient manner. A plurality of objects such as target objects are set within an object space, and a hit check is performed on shots from 1P and 2P players and the target objects. First and second viewpoints for the 1P and 2P players are controlled and images as seen from those first and second viewpoints are output to first and second display screens, respectively. Although the viewpoints of the 1P and 2P players are the same in the prior art, they can be made different in this game. The first and second viewpoints move along first and second movement paths, and the first and second viewpoints are controlled in such a manner that the first and second movement paths diverge when a given circumstance occurs.
