  • Patent number: 7909232
    Abstract: A mold welded with a dissimilar metal member manufactured by pressingly bringing the dissimilar metal member into contact with a mold formed of copper or a copper alloy in a stationary state while rotating the dissimilar metal member at a high speed, stopping the dissimilar metal member, and providing a forced pressure larger than the pressure in the first step to the mold. The present mold solves the problems of efficient cooling and attachment of back frame. Also, a variety of problems including cutting processing loss of copper or copper alloy plate, long processing times, heat distortion and heat deterioration of copper plates, etc, can be solved. Further, welding position precision and welding strength of stud bolts can be improved. Finally, the invention concerns a mold welded with a dissimilar metal member where the mold is manufactured by the first step shown above.

  • Patent number: 7641551
    Abstract: A game apparatus stores input positions detected by the input device at predetermined time intervals, in order of detection, into a memory of the game apparatus. Next, a trail vector indicating at least a portion of a trail drawn by the player on the input surface is calculated from the input positions. Further, a reference vector whose starting point is a predetermined position on the input surface and whose ending point is a position determined by the trail vector is calculated. An action of a player's character is determined based on an angle between the trail vector and the reference vector.

  • Publication number: 20070018968
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a touch panel, for example, set on a display screen. For example, the display screen displays a three-dimensional game screen showing a relatively narrower range of a virtual three-dimensional game world and a two-dimensional map screen showing a relatively wider range of the virtual three-dimensional game world simultaneously or through change. When an object existing in the virtual three-dimensional game world is moved, an input trace is obtained from an input to the map screen by utilizing the touch panel. The object is moved along the obtained input trace, and a scene in which the object is moving is displayed on the three-dimensional game screen.

  • Publication number: 20060281546
    Abstract: A video game device calculates a difference vector extending from a predetermined reference position on the screen to an input position. Moreover, the video game device calculates movement parameter data used for moving, with respect to a fixed point in the virtual space uniquely determined based on a position of the controlled object, the point of sight to a position that is determined by a direction in the virtual space based on a direction of the difference vector and a distance in the virtual space based on a magnitude of the difference vector. The point of sight is moved based on the movement parameter data. The video game device produces an image based on a virtual camera, which has been moved according to the movement of the point of sight, and displays the image on the screen of a display device.

  • Patent number: 4733037
    Abstract: A high frequency heating device includes a high frequency oscillator, a heating chamber for accommodating an object to be heated, and a cylindrical wave guide for coupling the high frequency oscillator to the heating chamber. The output antenna for the high frequency oscillator is disposed at an input end portion of the cylindrical wave guide and along the center axis of the wave guide. The heating chamber has a wall which is coupled to the cylindrical wave guide, the wall being positioned in an end plane of the cylindrical wave guide opposite to the output antenna. An arcuate slit is formed in the wall with the center of curvature of the slit being centered at the center axis of the cylindrical wave guide. This construction suppresses higher harmonics, and furthermore impedance matching and adjustment of the heating performance are facilitated.
