  • Publication number: 20200230498
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having a game program is provided. The game program is to be executed by a server device in a game system. The game system includes user terminals operated by respective users. The server device is capable of being connected to the user terminals through communication. The program causes the server device to set one or more kinds of game media to be in a state of being capable of being given to users. A predetermined upper limit is set to a number of game media capable of being given to the users. The program further causes the server device to give a user a game medium that the user desires to be given among the game media which are set by the server device in a range not exceeding the predetermined upper limit.

  • Patent number: 10707066
    Abstract: Four main rod electrodes included in a main electrode section are disposed in a rotationally symmetric manner around an ion optical axis. Among four pre-rod electrodes included in a pre-electrode section disposed in front of the main electrode section, two are in contact with a circle of a radius r0, whereas the other two are disposed to be in contact with a circle of a radius R0 larger than r0, resulting in rotational asymmetry around the ion optical axis. Accordingly, a shape of acceptance on an x-y plane regarding positions of ions in the pre-electrode section becomes elliptical. This allows the shape of the acceptance to become gradually flat as the ions travel along the ion optical axis, reducing a mismatch between emittance of incoming ions and the acceptance on a receiving side, and relieving ion loss during ion introduction.

  • Patent number: 10386266
    Abstract: An optical inspection device includes: an LED; a chart; a collimator; and a mirror. The LED irradiates the chart with light to deliver light rays to the collimator as on-axis light rays. This allows a pattern on the chart to be projected onto a center of an image sensor through the collimator and an optical system under inspection. The mirror reflects light rays delivered to the mirror through the collimator among the on-axis light rays. This allows the pattern on the chart to be projected onto a periphery of the image sensor through the optical system under inspection.
