Abstract: To control an excess bias to an appropriate value in a light detection device. A solid-state image sensor includes a photodiode, a resistor, and a control circuit. In this solid-state image sensor, the photodiode photoelectrically converts incident light and outputs a photocurrent. Furthermore, in the solid-state image sensor, the resistor is connected to a cathode of the photodiode. Furthermore, in the solid-state image sensor, the control circuit supplies a lower potential to an anode of the photodiode as a potential of the cathode of when the photocurrent flows through the resistor is higher.

Abstract: A game program of the present invention causes a computer to execute a first delete condition setting step of setting a delete condition of puzzle elements in which puzzle elements of the same kind in a first number or more are continuously arranged in a predetermined direction as a first delete condition and a second delete condition setting step of setting a next delete condition of the puzzle elements in which puzzle elements of the same kind in a second number which is smaller than the first number or more are continuously arranged in a predetermined direction as a second delete condition when it is judged that the first delete condition is achieved in the first delete condition judgment step.

Abstract: The present invention has as its object to realize both of the higher accuracy of the detection of contact between a mounting part and a part to be mounted and an improvement in the stability of the detection at a high level. For this purpose, the present invention is comprised of a contact start detecting member designed to move in operative association with moving means for moving at least one of the mounting part and the part to be mounted toward the other until the mounting part and the part to be mounted contact with each other, and on the other hand, when the mounting part and the part to be mounted have contacted with each other, to have its operative association with the moving means released in response to the action of the contact pressure thereof and be movable independently of the moving means, and contact start detecting means for detecting the movement of the contact start detecting member to thereby detect the start of contact between the mounting part and the part to be mounted.

Abstract: An apparatus for an immersion cooled superconductor including a cryostat which comprises an envelope provided with a heat insulating member; a first low temperature liquid received in the envelope; an interior vessel made of good heat conducting material and received in the envelope in a state immersed in the low temperature liquid; a second low temperature liquid received in the interior vessel with a slightly higher temperature than the first low temperature liquid; and a superconductor wire immersed in the second low temperature liquid.
