  • Patent number: 8337284
    Abstract: A touch panel 13 is mounted on a second LCD 12. If the player touch-operates the touch panel 13 so as to touch on an offense button OB, the symbolized representation of any offense athlete among a plurality of player objects composing the player's team becomes relatively large. Thus, in a game where the action or settings of a game object image is changed by touch-operating the game object image, the image of a game object that is highly frequently operated in situations similar to the current situation is enlarged, thereby facilitating touch-operation.

  • Patent number: 7785199
    Abstract: A first game image to be controlled by using an operation switch section 14 is displayed on a first LCD 11. In addition, a second game image to be controlled by using a touch panel 13 is displayed on a second LCD 12. The first game image and the second game image are expressions, taken from different perspectives, of the same game space generated by executing a game program.

  • Patent number: 6593449
    Abstract: A method of producing a sintered article of polybenzimidazole by using a polybenzimidazole resin is disclosed. This method comprises the steps of: filling a mold with a polybenzimidazole resin; after closing the mold so that the polybenzimidazole resin can be densely packed in the mold, heating the mold to a predetermined temperature ranging from 500° C. to 600° C. without applying pressure to the mold from the outside; after increasing the pressure on the mold from 0 kg/cm2 to 50-750 kg/cm2, sintering the polybenzimidazole resin while maintaining the temperature and the pressure for 15 to 200 minutes; cooling the mold; and removing the sintered article of the polybenzimidazole resin from the mold. By this method, sintered articles of polybenzimidazole resins having no weak parts can be obtained in high yields.

  • Publication number: 20030025246
    Abstract: A method of producing a sintered article of polybenzimidazole by using a polybenzimidazole resin. This method comprises, in the following order, the steps of: filling a mold with a polybenzimidazole resin; after closing the mold so that the polybenzimidazole resin can be densely packed in the mold, heating the mold to a predetermined temperature ranging from 500° C. to 600° C. without applying pressure to the mold from the outside; after increasing the pressure on the mold from 0 kg/cm2 to 50-750 kg/cm2, sintering the polybenzimidazole resin while maintaining the temperature and the pressure for 15 to 200 minutes; cooling the mold; and removing the sintered article of the polybenzimidazole resin from the mold. In this method, the polybenzimidazole resin is is brought into contact with substantially no oxygen from the beginning of the step of heating the resin to the end of the sintering step.

  • Publication number: 20030015817
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a resinous composition comprising a carbon powder and a polybenzimidazole resin powder, and a tribological material using the resinous composition. This tribological material can be produced by blending a carbon powder and a polybenzimidazole resin powder together to prepare a composition and molding the composition with heating under pressure. The present invention provides a tribological material which possesses excellent tribological properties under high temperature conditions and has a low coefficient of friction.

  • Patent number: 5631312
    Abstract: A floor paint composition superior in resistance to oil and solvents, and in early strength. The composition is mainly composed of a synthetic resin emulsion based on an from anion copolymer obtained from the copolymerization of .alpha.-type hemihydrate gypsum, cement and ethylene unsaturated monomer. The ratio of weight of .alpha.-type hemihydrate gypsum to cement is between 80:20 and 95:5. The ratio of the solid content of the synthetic resin relative to 100 parts by weight of the mixture of .alpha.-type hemihydrate gypsum and cement is between 15 and 35 parts by weight. The anion copolymer contains at least one unit of a monomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene unsaturated carboxylic acid, ethylene unsaturated sulfonic acid and ethylene unsaturated phosphonic acid. The copolymer can include an ethylene unsaturated monomer having at least one organic silicon radical. The synthetic resin emulsion can include epoxy silane.
