Abstract: An object is to allow intuitively understand whether display information displayed on a display device indicates favorable state or unfavorable state for a user. An acquisition unit 11 acquires energy-related information. A communication unit 13 is connected to a display device 3 and an operation device 4. Display information to be displayed on the display device 3 has a stratum structure including first display information as a top tier and second display information, the first display information including at least two categories which express the favorability about the energy-related information, the second display information including plural kinds of information so that the lower tier includes more detailed information. An information generation unit 14 transmits second display information to the display device 3 upon receiving a request from the operation device 4 when first display information is displayed on the display device 3.

Abstract: A game system controls a first virtual camera and a second virtual camera in synchronization so that the second virtual camera photographs an object space in a range that cannot be photographed by the first virtual camera due to a limitation range. The game system draws various images in a first drawing area and a second drawing area while controlling the first virtual camera and the second virtual camera in synchronization.

Abstract: The electric shaver is provided with outer blades, inner blades driven in reciprocating motion against the inner face of the outer blades and a driving mechanism driving the inner blades in reciprocating motion. The driving mechanism is provided with vibrating rods, which transmit the reciprocating motion and are connected at their extremities to the inner blades. Vibrators are connected to the vibrating rods and are mounted in a case. A reciprocating motion mechanism drives the vibrators in a reciprocating motion. The vibrating rods are connected to drive ports of the inner blades in a fashion allowing movement in an axial direction. Furthermore, blade-pushing springs, which permit the flexible reciprocating motion of the inner blades against the outer blades, are introduced on the vibrating rods such that the inner blades are pressed against the outer blades by the blade-pushing springs.

Abstract: An electric razor is provided with a switch clasp on the surface of the main case which can slide up and down to three detents, and a trimmer which opens and closes by operation of the switch clasp. When the switch clasp is moved up to the first detent, power is turned on; when the switch clasp is moved up to the second detent, the trimmer is opened and activated; and when the switch clasp is moved up to the third detent, the trimmer is maintained in the open state but is powered down for cleaning.

Abstract: The triple bladed shaver is provided with three rows of mesh outer blades and inner blades that press against the inside surfaces of the outer blades. The three blade rows are mutually parallel with the center blade projecting outward more and having a longer in-out stroke than the side blades. The outer blades move freely and independently in and out of an outer blade case to which they connect. Edge springs between the center outer blade and the outer blade case push the center blade outward at both ends. The unique structure achieves comfortable efficient shaves.

Abstract: The attachment structure has an outer blade assembly which mounts in a detachable manner on an outer blade frame and latch releases which disengage the outer blade assembly and outer blade frame. Latching pieces which latch into the outer blade frame are provided on the end planes of the outer blade assembly. Pressure arms project from both sides of the ends of the latching pieces. The latch releases have a plurality of push-out projections which push the latching piece pressure arms out of latching detents. The push-out projections extend in a direction that separates the outer blade assembly from the outer blade frame. The push-out projections apply pressure to pressure arms on both sides of each latching piece to disengage the latching pieces from the latching detents and separate the outer blade assembly from the outer blade frame.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a printed circuit board, a photoresist layer is formed on a three-dimensionally molded substrate through a conductive layer. A planar photomask which is provided with a mask pattern and a light-transmissive pattern is placed in front of the photoresist layer. A parallel light beam is radiated to the photomask in order to give to the photoresist layer an exposed pattern of an intended width "L" in correspondence to the light-transmissive pattern. In the present invention, the light-transmissive pattern is configured so as to satisfy the following relations:when D=0, W/L=1,when D>0, W/L<1,wherein "W" is a width of the light-transmissive pattern for forming the exposed pattern of the intended width "L", and "D" is a distance between the light-transmissive pattern and the photoresist layer. The photoresist layer of the exposed or an non-exposed pattern is removed to leave a patterned area of the conductive layer without the photoresist layer.

Abstract: An image data file contains a plurality of layers of representative shapes of a target object to be plotted. Under control of a CPU, a CRT display unit displays the representative shapes retrieved from each layer. When one of the shapes is selected using a keyboard or a mouse, the representative shapes in the next lower layer relative to the selected shape is displayed. Ultimately, the shape of the target object is displayed.
