  • Patent number: 11976453
    Abstract: A sanitary washing device includes a private part washing nozzle, a casing, a sterilizing water generator, and an illuminator. The private part washing nozzle discharges water toward a private part of a user in a state of the private part washing nozzle is advanced into a toilet. The casing includes a nozzle storage part configured to store an entirety of the private part washing nozzle in a state of the private part washing nozzle is retracted. The sterilizing water generator generates sterilizing water supplied to the private part washing nozzle and the nozzle storage part. The illuminator irradiates sterilizing light into the nozzle storage part. The sterilizing light has a sterilizing action. The illuminator irradiates the sterilizing light toward a residual water occurrence portion at which the sterilizing water supplied into the nozzle storage part remains.

  • Patent number: 6890263
    Abstract: A game machine capable of providing three-dimensional animated representations according to the progress of a game, considering focus. The game machine includes a memory device for storing three-dimensional data related to a plurality of objects and a game program; a player input section; a display section; and a computational processing device that perspectively converts the objects from a game program world coordinate system to a projection surface, and represents the perspectively-converted image data in an animated manner. The computational processing device performs settings such that a specific object or portion thereof is brought into focus, and the plurality of objects placed in the world space are blurred according to their depths relative to the specific object or portion thereof.
