  • Patent number: 11932152
    Abstract: An air pump device includes an electric pump unit including a pump mechanism and a motor configured to drive the pump mechanism, a case housing the electric pump unit, and a vibration-proof member interposed between the electric pump unit and the case. The vibration-proof member is a plate-shaped member made of an elastic resin material and is wound around the electric pump unit to wrap the electric pump unit therein. A part of the vibration-proof member is sandwiched between the electric pump unit and one of facing surfaces that are inner surfaces of the case and face each other inside the case. Another part of the vibration-proof member is sandwiched between the electric pump unit and the other one of the facing surfaces.

  • Patent number: 8147305
    Abstract: A game apparatus includes a CPU, and the CPU executes a game process. When a player character encounters an enemy character in a game world, a battle screen is displayed on a monitor. On the battle screen, an input pattern is displayed, and background music (BGM) is output from a speaker. A player determines an operation timing based on the input pattern and the BGM (drum part). If there is a high level of coincidence between the operation timing by the player and a timing of the music pattern, damage which the player character applies to the enemy character and experienced obtained by the player character increases.

  • Patent number: 7472319
    Abstract: A remote control signal receiver receives a remote control signal in which bit signals are included as pulse signals. The remote control signal receiver includes a remote control signal receiving portion that receives a remote control signal, and a microcomputer. The microcomputer detects a change in a logic level of pulsed signals in the remote control signal, detects a pulse period and a pulse width of the pulse signals of the remote control signal, and determines whether there is an error in the remote control signal based on the detected pulse period and the pulse width of the pulse signals of the remote control signal. It is possible to detect an error in a remote control signal received by the remote control signal receiver.
