Abstract: A program execution system, has a program execution device which has a controller operated by a user and a display on which images such as characters or players in a game are seen. In order to prevent an incorrect movement of a character on the display when a switching from one scene viewed from one camera viewpoint to another scene viewed from another camera viewpoint without additional steps by the user, the program execution system has a computer-readable and executable program stored on a recorded medium providing a character motion direction step by which, if along the motion of a character on the screen a switching is made from one scene to another, the direction of motion of the character in the second scene is maintained in coordination with the character's motion direction on a map in the first scene at least immediately before the switching.

Abstract: In an echo processing method and device which can detect an accurate echo section without effects of a far end signal, an echo delay, and a reduction of an echo cancellation amount, a signal of a specified frequency band is generated in conformity with a near end signal, and the signal of the specified frequency band is added to the near end signal to form a transmitting signal. Receiving signals are separated into the signal of the specified frequency band and a signal of a band other than the specified frequency band. An echo section is detected based on the signal of the specified frequency band separated. An echo component in the signal of the band other than the specified frequency band is removed and a level of the echo component is detected based on the near end signal in the echo section.

Abstract: Registers 32a-32d hold data for pixels interleaved. An operator 34 reads the pixel data from the registers and processes the pixel data in accordance with a program code. The operator 34 writes the result of the process back to the registers via a cache 38 or writes it in a memory. Program counters PC0-PC3 provided in association with the number of pixels interleaved store the addresses of instructions in a program for the respective pixels. An instruction loader 76 alternately reads from the program counters. An incrementer 74 increments the count of the program counters. The instructions in the program for the pixels are alternately loaded and interleaved on a pixel by pixel basis, before being supplied to the operator 34 and the like.

Abstract: A conservation tillage implement having three or more rows of individual coulter wheel assemblies laterally spaced apart and removably mounted on a cultivator frame, a coulter wheel assembly in a given row being staggered with respect to the coulter wheel assemblies in a longitudinally adjacent row. The coulter wheel assemblies may be laterally adjustable and may be mounted to the cultivator frame using a mounting means that permits rotation about a vertical axis. The coulter wheel assemblies may have a coil spring with a horizontal spring axis to permit upward deflection in response to impact with an obstacle. Leveling attachments may optionally be mounted to the cultivator frame, along with additional field working tools. The implement is used in the management of crop residue as part of a minimum tillage strategy. The implement is particularly resistant to plugging and can be operated at high speeds without undue damage upon impact with obstacles.
