Abstract: A control unit controls a vehicle having a body to allow a user to step on, a power generator arranged to generate power that drives the body, and a first sensor and a second sensor. Each sensor preferably outputs a load value representing a load that has been applied to the body. The control unit preferably includes a processor arranged to output a command value associated with a bias of the load based on first and second load values that have been respectively detected by the first and second sensors, and a drive controller arranged to control the power generator in accordance with the command value.

Abstract: A skateboard SB has a board 10 that is rotatably provided with a front wheel 25 and rear wheel 26. Disposed on the both sides of the board 10 are speakers 12a, 12b. On the front wheel 25 there is provided a steering angle sensor 46, while on the rear wheel 26 there is provided a rotational speed sensor 64 in order to sense the traveling direction and traveling speed of the skateboard SB. A control box 13 disposed on the undersurface of the board 10 is equipped with a computer device and tone generator. The computer device controls, in accordance with the traveling direction and speed of the skateboard SB, the performance tempo of automatic rhythm and automatic performance, the switching between automatic rhythm patterns, and the generation of musical tone signals. The present invention brings more fun to a player without making the player tired by adding variation to music to which the player listens during the ride on the moving apparatus in accordance with the movement of the moving apparatus.

Abstract: A skateboard SB has a board 10 that is rotatably provided with a front wheel 25 and rear wheel 26. Disposed on the both sides of the board 10 are speakers 12a, 12b. On the undersurface of the board 10 there are provided a floor sensor 66 having a CCD camera for shooting a floor and a distance sensor 67 for sensing the distance to the floor. A control box 13 disposed on the undersurface of the board 10 is equipped with a computer device and a tone generator. The computer device controls, in accordance with the color and lightness of the floor sensed by the floor sensor 66 and the distance sensed by the distance sensor 67, the generation of musical tone signals by the tone generator and the mode in which the musical tone signals are generated. A moving apparatus constructed as described above enables a player to listen to music that corresponds to changes in external conditions where the moving apparatus is placed, bringing more fun to the player without making the player tired.

Abstract: A first panel element and a second panel element, each having at least one display layer, are positioned and opposed to each other. The elements are progressively adhered from a staring position with an adhesive material supplied beforehand. Examples of the adhesive material include those which are in a liquid state before curing (such as photo-curing adhesive materials), and also include adhesive sheets. The adhesive material having fluidity can be spread between the two panel elements in the adhering step.

Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid crystal display element manufacturing method in which resin bodies are formed on one of a pair of substrates of the element. A screen plate, which has multiple resin body forming holes which defines arrangement of the resin bodies on the substrate, is used for forming the resin bodies on the substrate. The resin body forming holes have varying pitches and/or diameters from the center area of the screen plate that corresponds to the squeegee center area in the direction of the squeegee width to the edge areas of the screen plate that correspond to the squeegee edge areas in the direction of the squeegee width, such that the resin bodies thus formed on the substrate will have a uniform pitch and/or height.
