  • Patent number: 9714015
    Abstract: A vehicle braking control device includes: an indicated-value-setting unit for setting an indicated current value, which relates to a differential pressure valve provided to a channel between a master cylinder and a wheel cylinder, to a value corresponding to a required differential pressure; and a depressurization-starting differential pressure acquisition unit for acquiring, as a depressurization-starting differential pressure, the differential pressure at the point in time when a pressurizing state for increasing the differential pressure caused by the differential pressure valve transitions to a depressurizing state for reducing the differential pressure caused by the differential pressure valve. The area between the depressurization-starting differential pressure and a boundary differential pressure is set as a depressurization-starting differential pressure area.

  • Patent number: 9691231
    Abstract: Probability of prize occurrence is easily controlled without provision of a blank between symbols on a reel. A gaming machine 300 includes a lower image display panel 141 configured to variable-display symbol arrays 170 each including a plurality of normal symbols 501 and a plurality of crest symbols 502 arranged among the normal symbols 501, and then rearrange the normal symbols 501 and the blank symbols 502 in a symbol display region 150 having a matrix of cells. The gaming machine 300 generates a line win or a scatter win when the normal symbols 501 are rearranged on the lower image display panel 141 in a predetermined manner, and generates a crest win which is lower than the line win and the scatter win when a predetermined number or more of the crest symbols 502 are rearranged.

  • Publication number: 20170092045
    Abstract: To provide a gaming machine that can realize a new gaming characteristic in which effective lines are variable so that the winning probability can be changed. A slot machine 1 executes games and controls, according to the games, a lower image display panel 141 having video reels 151 to 155 each including a symbol array in which symbols 501 that are rearranged in display blocks 28 are arranged. When a predetermined number or more of symbols 501 of the same type are located on any of effective lines, the slot machine 1 awards a line dividend. The slot machine 1 determines whether or not to expand the video reels 151 to 155 to add the display blocks 28 before the rearrangement of the symbols 501, and arrange top symbol 503a with the highest line dividend in the display blocks 28 irrespective of the symbol arrays when it is determined that the display block 28 are added, and determines the line dividend according to effective line based on all the display block 28 including the display block 28 added.

    Abstract: A finder is a reverse Galileo type finder comprising, in order from the object side to the eye point side: an objective lens group having a negative refractive power; and an eyepiece lens group having a positive refractive power. The distance between the objective lens group and the eyepiece lens group is the longest distance from among distances between lenses, as an air converted length, in an observation optical system from the objective lens group to the eyepiece lens group. The eyepiece lens group consists of, in order from the object side to the eye point side: a first lens having a negative refractive power; a second lens having a positive refractive power; and a third lens having a negative refractive power. The first lens and the third lens are fixed while the second lens moves in the direction of the optical axis during diopter adjustment.
