Abstract: A game apparatus includes a CPU. In this game apparatus, a plurality of players participate and play a game on a display screen displayed on a common display means. A display area is divided by the number of participating players, and the divided areas are allotted to each player. In addition, an evaluating value is set according to a superiority or inferiority situation of a play content of each player, a size of the divided areas are changed based on the evaluating value, and the display screen in correspondence with a change of the divided areas is generated and displayed. Furthermore, when there is the player who is game-over, the display area is re-divided by the number of remaining players that subtract the number of the players.

Abstract: Each of input and output devices previously forms device profile, and a host computer acquires virtual input/output device information including a pair of ideal input and output devices on the basis of the device profiles of these devices. If the virtual input/output device information is acquired, the input device demands to acquire a transfer path profile included in the virtual input/output device information, and then demands if the transfer path profile is acquired the output device registered in the acquired transfer path profile to connect a line. If the line connection is established, the input device performs data inputting such that the acquired transfer path profile is reflected in the device setting, and then it transfers the input data to the desired output device.

Abstract: A video game apparatus includes an external ROM. This external ROM has a sound memory area storing sound sequence data. The sound sequence data includes a plurality of block sequences for each of three status of “move”, “fight” and “stop” of a player object. A CPU detects a status of the player object according to a mode flag, and read a block sequence to a RAM in compliance with the status detected. It is possible to output a series of game melodies in a manner matching the status of the player object by the repetition of using the plurality of block sequences.

Abstract: An inputted analog color video signal is converted into a digital video signal by an analog-to-digital converting circuit 13, is then written into a transfer buffer 15, and is digitally processed. That is, with respect to a moving picture which is changed for each frame, black-and-white image data is extracted from the digital video signal stored in the transfer buffer 15, is temporarily stored in a WT buffer memory 21, and is displayed on a CRT. With respect to a still picture whose acceptance is designated at suitable timing while seeing the moving picture, color image data is extracted from the digital video signal stored in the transfer buffer 15, is temporarily stored in a CT buffer memory 28, and is displayed on the CRT.

Abstract: Photoelectron spectroscopy apparatus are disclosed that comprise a photoelectron detector and that exhibit improved performance of the photoelectron detector and thus more reliable and accurate analysis of photoelectron energy. In performing energy analysis of photoelectrons, the photoelectron detector measures the time distribution at which photoelectrons emitted from a specimen surface traverse a flight tube when the specimen is irradiated with X-rays from a pulse X-ray source. A magnetic field generator is situated near the specimen to collect and collimate photoelectrons emitted from the specimen surface and form a photoelectron flux inside a flight tube.

Abstract: An original is allowed to pass on an exposing glass along a conveying path, thereby exposing and scanning a front surface of the original and reading an image by a CCD. A back surface of the original is subsequently fed to the exposing glass along a conveying path and is allowed to pass on the exposing glass, thereby exposing and scanning the back surface of the original. The image data read by the CCD is stored into an image buffer. The order of address columns to read out the image data on the front surface and the order of address columns to read out the image data of the back surface are made opposite. Thus, a copying apparatus which can efficiently expose and scan both of the front and back surfaces of a both-side original is provided.

Abstract: In continuously writing image data transferred from an image plane spreading two-dimensionally in a memory plane spreading two-dimensionally, or continuously reading out image data from the memory plane, a first address for accessing image data of a predetermined unit block in the image plane is converted into a second address. The image data of the unit block is stored as one-row image data in a one-row storage area of the memory plane which is designated by the second address. Predetermined image processing of the image data corresponding to the unit block is performed by reading out the image data from the one-row storage area in the row direction in the memory plane.
