Patent number: 8545324Abstract: A communication game device which is disclosed can communicate with another game device, memorize the information about a communication partner at the time of the communication, and offer the communication game device which can process information for the succeeding game to be reflected in the contents of a game or the simulation. The communication game device has a processing section, a program storage part which memorizes a control program, an image storage section which memorizes character pictures matched with picture IDs, and controlling elements which can be operated by a game player. When the player's game device receives parameters from another communication game device, the parameters are stored or the data is renewed. If a parameter containing a body ID and the same body ID as arbitrary data is not stored, the arbitrary data in the parameter is memorized. If the parameter has been memorized, it is updated.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2004Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignees: Bandai Co., Ltd., Wiz Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazue Murase, Akihiro Yokoi

Patent number: 8512646Abstract: A device for generating a sterilizing gas includes a methanol gas generation device (11) for vaporizing methanol to generate a methanol gas, a tubular part (12) and a catalyst section (13). The tubular section (12) is arranged on top of the methanol gas generation device (11) to provide a flow path for upwardly directing the methanol gas generated by the methanol gas generation device by natural convection. The tubular section also operates to mix the methanol gas with a predetermined proportion of air. The catalyst section (13) is arranged on top of the tubular section (12) for turning the methanol gas mixed with the air at the predetermined proportion in the tubular section (12) into radicals by a catalyzed reaction. The catalyst section (13) is formed by a turn-into-radical reaction catalyst layer (30) obtained on forming a thin metal sheet (35a) to a honeycomb structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2009Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignees: Wiz Systems Corporation, Seavile Inc., Hoei Denki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsuhiko Kawamata, Yasushi Suzuki, Shunsuke Nishiyama, Motoboru Iio

Patent number: 7560884Abstract: An electronic braking and energy recycling system associated with a direct current (DC) brushless motor, characterized in that when an electronic braking task is launched, a phase voltage occurred in an inverse mode is applied onto a motor coil corresponding thereto and a gate voltage signal with positive and negative cycles is used to control an upper-side and lower-side branches to switch as compared to each other in the system, so as to redirect a current flown through the motor back to a power source end. In this invention, a controllable inverse torsion is achieved, enabling an electrical machine to be braked smoothly and reliably when necessary. As such, a dynamic power of the motor can be recycled at a maximum rate and thus the purpose of energy recycling is achieved. In addition, no complex circuitry configuration owing to the multi-phase coils is required.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2007Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Wiz Energy Technology Co., LtdInventors: Ying-Haw Shu, Kuo-Ming Lee, Bin-Yen Ma

Publication number: 20080096661Abstract: A trip made by a virtual creature being fostered in a virtual creature breeding toy 101 is rendered. On the virtual creature breeding toy 101, an operation can be performed to simulate a trip made by a virtual creature being fostered on the toy 101. The operation causes a passport number to be displayed on the toy 101. A user inputs the passport number on a display panel presented by a mobile application 102b being executed on a mobile terminal 102. The mobile terminal 102 sends a virtual creature code and an item code included in the number to a server 103. The server 103 combines a virtual creature image 103b with a background image 103a, both of which can be retrieved using codes associated with them. The composite image is associated with the user of the mobile terminal 102 that has sent the codes and is stored as a collected image 103d. The mobile terminal 102 can access the collected image 103d through a browser 102c and display the composite image.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2005Publication date: April 24, 2008Applicants: BANDAI CO., LTD., WIZInventors: Takayuki Ikeda, Daisuke Komoto, Akihiro Yokoi, Kazue Murase
