Patent number: 8821233Abstract: A game machine determines the reference timing included in a predetermined time range and the crossing direction position corresponding to the reference timing based on the sequence data (30). And, the game machine causes an instruction path (R) extending from one end side (UP) in depth direction (TD) toward the other end side (DP) while passing through each crossing direction position corresponding to each reference timing at a position on the time axis corresponding to each reference timing and the reference line (TL), to be displayed on the game screen, and decreases a distance between each position and the reference line (TL) with a decrease in a time difference between the reference timing and the current time.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2012Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuha Hayashi, Yoshitaka Nishimura, Tetsuhiro Honjo, Aoi Tagami, Takayuki Ishikawa, Hidenori Kotera, Yuki Sato, Yuma Miyazaki, Eriko Motohashi

Patent number: 8226480Abstract: A game apparatus includes a main apparatus, an image display apparatus including a display screen, a controller including an acceleration sensor, and a game executing section. The game executing section determines whether or not an acceleration signal generated is normal, based on a first half wave signal of the acceleration signal occurring in an axial direction when the controller is moved. The game executing section moves an image object based on a second half wave signal occurring subsequent to the first half wave signal and having a reversed polarity. The game executing section executes display control to move the image object back to a home position upon detecting that the second half wave signal reaches a peak. Thus, displaying the image object may be controlled according to the movement of the controller. The display control may be executed based on a normal acceleration signal without performing complicated steps.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2010Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenichi Miyaji, Hiromitsu Kanegae, Tetsuhiro Honjo, Akifumi Ishizuka

As a result, the coating performance is not lowered if stored for a long period after kneading, the dimension change rate after coating is small, and cracks or gaps are not formed on the coat surface. The median diameter of ceramic powder is preferred to be 10 to 50 ?m, and in order to reduce the dimension change rate after coating, the content of particles of 0.1 to 5 ?m in ceramic powder is desired to be 1 to 20%.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2008Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignees: NGK Insulators, Ltd., NGK Adrec Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsuneo Komiyama, Osamu Yamakawa, Tetsuhiro Honjo, Akito Higuchi
