  • Patent number: 8961697
    Abstract: A method for cleaning a die member having molding grooves and moldable-ceramic-material-supplying holes communicating with the molding grooves, by removing a binder-containing moldable ceramic material from the die member after used for molding the moldable ceramic material, comprising the steps of spraying a high-pressure fluid to a surface of the die member on the side of moldable-material-supplying holes, and then spraying a high-pressure fluid to a surface of the die member on the side of molding grooves, thereby removing the moldable ceramic material.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7609260
    Abstract: This program product causes a computer to function as a unit for setting spectator information including the number of spectators belonging respectively to first and second spectator types, a unit for determining the number of spectators belonging to the respective spectator types to be allocated respectively to each area, a unit for determining the mixture ratio of the respective spectator types in each area, a unit for determining a polygon to be arranged in each area and mapped with a texture containing a plurality of spectators, a unit for determining color pallet data associated with the color of the texture so that the ratio of the spectators belonging respectively to the respective spectator types contained in the texture achieves a state according to the mixture ratio, a unit for mapping the texture defined based on the determined color pallet data to the polygon, and a unit for generating an image.
