Patent number: 9844731Abstract: A game system includes a game processing section that performs a game process, a lottery processing section that sets a lottery range that specifies a range of items among a plurality of items used during the game process that are subjected to a lottery process, and selects an item from the items that belong to the lottery range by performing the lottery process, and an item acquisition processing section that performs a process that allows a player to acquire the selected item. Information about the plurality of items has a data structure in which the plurality of items are linked to have a parent-child relationship. The lottery processing section sets the lottery range so that a child item is included within the lottery range when a parent item has been set to an acquired state or an acquirable state, and changes the set lottery range based on given information.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2014Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: BANDAI NAMCO ENTERTAINMENT INC.Inventors: Jun Tamaoki, Makoto Yonezawa, Ryota Mihashi

Patent number: 7086370Abstract: An outboard motor has an engine and a mounting case disposed below and connected to the engine. The mounting case has a depression opening upward. The opening is covered by a cover to form a coolant chamber. An exhaust passage passes through the coolant chamber and communicates with an exhaust expansion chamber formed by an extension case to be positioned below the mounting case. The coolant chamber is covered by the cover so that a small mating surface is formed with the coolant chamber independently of an engine mating surface of the mounting case. This simplifies the structure of the mounting case.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2002Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Makoto Yonezawa, Sou Abe

Patent number: 7069882Abstract: In a water-cooled multi-cylinder vertical engine for an outboard engine system, cooling water having passed through an exhaust-manifold cooling water jacket for cooling an exhaust passage within an engine room is supplied to a cylinder-block cooling water jacket provided in a cylinder block through water supply pipes, a branching member and two upper and lower couplings. In this case, the lower coupling is locked below the center of a lowermost cylinder to minimize unevenness in flow rate of the cooling water flowing through a water jacket on opposite left and right sides of a cylinder toward a cooling water outlet provided at an upper portion thereof, thereby making uniform the distribution of the temperature around a combustion chamber, leading to an enhancement in cooling effect.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2005Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Makoto Yonezawa, Hiroki Tawa, Yoshihiko Fukuda
