  • Publication number: 20240091835
    Abstract: A meandering amount arithmetically operating device of a meandering amount measurement device calculates the meandering amount of a steel sheet using a drive side edge site zds(N) and a work side edge sites zws(N) at a current time when a measurement reliability determination unit determines that both the drive side edge site zds(N) and the work side edge sites zws(N) at the current time have high reliability. When only one of the drive side edge site zds(N) and the work side edge site zws(N) at the current time is determined to have high reliability, the other edge site is calculated by interpolation using the number of pixels W from a sheet width updating unit with the drive side edge sites zds(N) or the work side edge site zws(N) at the current time having high reliability as a reference.

  • Patent number: 9409491
    Abstract: A parking assist system for a vehicle includes a target position setting unit setting a vehicle target parking position on the basis of a coil type and position of a power transmitting unit. When the coil type is a composite coil having a configuration such that an annular coil wound to surround a first axis and a solenoid coil wound to surround a second axis intersecting with the first axis are serially connected, the target position setting unit sets the target parking position such that a center of a power receiving unit mounted on the vehicle is located at a predetermined distance from the first axis along the second axis. The solenoid coil is set at a position with respect to the annular coil such that the first axis extends through a side face center portion of the solenoid coil.

  • Patent number: 8784205
    Abstract: Reference time data acquisition means (74) acquires, from means (70) for storing a position of display means (22) and reference time data representing a reference time at which a user should carry out a game operation in association with each other, the reference time data associated with the position of the display means (22) detected by position detection means (72). Based on the reference time data, display control means (76) controls the display means (22) to display a guidance image (58) for guiding the user regarding the reference time. The game operation carried out by the user is detected. Game operation evaluation means (80) evaluates the game operation performed by the user, based on the reference time data and a detection result by game operation detection means (78).

  • Publication number: 20130316810
    Abstract: A game apparatus assigns an item, which includes one or more characters and in which points are set for each character, to a player. A storage device stores items owned by the player. When an instruction is given to synthesize a first item and a second item out of multiple items stored in the storage device, a control device generates an item that includes a specific character common between the first and second items and in which points of the specific character are set according to points of the specific character of the first item and those of the specific character of the second item.

  • Patent number: 6319129
    Abstract: A method and a video game system that are capable of generating a field map with more natural geographical feature. The method and the video game system firstly divides the field map including a plurality of blocks into a first zone and a second zone by a boundary which consists of sides and comers in the blocks, then determines a first point for each side included in the boundary and a second point for each corner included in the boundary. Finally, the boundary is transformed into a more complex land shape by connecting the first points and the second points.
