  • Patent number: 7014562
    Abstract: An after-image of a ball is displayed on traces of the ball so that each gamer recognizes in which direction and at which speed the shot ball flies. A real ball 30 really exists in a virtual space on a screen and flies from the left to the right in the figure. After-images 311 to 314 of the real ball 30 are displayed at the back of the real ball 30. The after-image 312 is displayed at a position of the real ball 30 before one interval (corresponding to 1/60 sec), the after-image 312 is displayed at a position of the real ball 30 before two intervals, the after-image 313 is displayed at a position of the real ball 30 before three intervals, and the after-image 314 is displayed at a position of the real ball 30 before four intervals. As the after-image is more apart from the real ball 30, the degree of transparency is higher.

  • Patent number: 7009294
    Abstract: A production process for a semiconductor device having a metal electrode on a semiconductor substrate thereof. A metal electrode portion is formed on a surface of another substrate for electrode transfer. Then, the metal electrode portion is transferred from the electrode transfer substrate onto the semiconductor substrate by pressing together the electrode transfer substrate and the semiconductor substrate. The electrode transfer substrate has, for example, a seed film provided on the surface thereof, and the formation of the metal electrode portion on the electrode transfer substrate may be achieved by depositing a material for the metal electrode on the seed film by plating. The electrode transfer substrate may have an insulating film which covers a surface of the seed film except a portion thereof on which the metal electrode portion is to be formed.

  • Patent number: 7009661
    Abstract: A video signal detecting circuit includes a synchronization detector for detecting a vertical synchronous signal in an input video signal. A counter starts counting pixel clock pulses in response to every vertical synchronous signal thus detected, and outputs a first signal when the count of pixel clock pulses reaches a preselected value. A comparator compares the vertical synchronous signal detected with the first signal for outputting a second signal representative of a difference between them. A mean circuit produces a mean value of the second signals over a plurality of pictures of the input video signal. An adjusting circuit adjusts the vertical synchronous signal with the mean value to output the resultant adjusted signal as a vertical synchronous signal. The preselected number is substantially equal to the standard number of pixels included in a single picture.
