Abstract: To provide a gaming machine that can provide a novel game in which the game progression is varied, a method, and a program for providing a game. In the gaming machine 1, the symbol blocks B1 and B2 displayed in the block display region 66 move in the directions D1 and D2, which intersect in the direction of reel rotation, when moving in the symbol display region 60. That is, the symbol blocks B1 and B2 are added to the movement in the direction of reel rotation, and also move in a direction orthogonal to the direction of reel rotation. Therefore, compared to a case in which a symbol block moves in the direction of reel rotation, prediction by a player of the positions where the symbol blocks B1 and B2 are finally disposed is difficult.

Abstract: An example of an information processing system includes a plurality of information processing terminals and a server. One terminal outputs an inaudible sound, thereby transmitting a user ID to the other terminal. The other terminal senses the inaudible sound and distinguishes the user ID of the one terminal in accordance with the inaudible sound. Based on the distinguished user ID, the other terminal acquires user information from the server and displays the acquired user information. The other terminal transmits a friend request to the server. When receiving friend requests from both terminals, the server stores the user IDs of both terminals in association with each other.

Abstract: The following units are included: a signal acquiring unit (102) acquiring a device control signal that is transmitted from a device remote controller (200) and used to control a device (300); an extended function determining unit (103) acquiring a control program for executing an extended function that corresponds to the device control signal and is not supported by the device (300) by collating the device control signal acquired with accumulated information; and an output control unit (108) controlling a corresponding output apparatus (400) by executing the control program acquired.

Abstract: An automatic splicing device provided with a communication device configured to communicate with a component mounter or a host computer that is connected to the component mounter such that communication is possible, a connection control device configured to control connecting of the a first tape and a second tape, and a display device configured to display information related to connecting of the first tape and the second tape.

Abstract: An automatic splicing device (20) provided with a communication device (40) configured to communicate with a component mounter (M) or a host computer (HC) that is connected to the component mounter (M) such that communication is possible, a connection control device (100 [103]) configured to control connecting of the a first tape (Tc) and a second tape (Tc), and a display device (90) configured to display information related to connecting of the first tape (Tc) and the second tape (Tc).

Abstract: A resonator includes a support frame, a rectangular vibrating plate that performs contour vibration in a predetermined direction, and two pairs of support arms. The vibrating plate includes four vibration regions arranged in a row in the lengthwise direction and electrodes disposed in the vibration regions. Each of the vibration regions vibrate with a phase opposite to phases with which the adjacent vibration regions vibrate upon excitation. A center line of a pair of the electrodes in the lengthwise direction is offset from a center line, in the lengthwise direction, of a corresponding vibration region that includes the electrode disposed thereon.

Abstract: To provide a gaming machine that can provide a new type of game that maintains or improves the interest of a player, and a method and program for providing a game. In the gaming machine 1, by removing symbols of a particular type and moving a following symbol, the ratio of symbols of types other than the particular type becomes higher in the symbol array formed on the display unit 27, and it is easier for the symbol array to configure a winning combination. Because the chance of winning is higher after the particular type of symbol is removed in this manner, it is possible to provide a new type of game where the interest of the player can be maintained or improved after the symbols are removed.
