Abstract: An alert system includes a first alert unit that alerts a driver to at least one of a state relating to driving support and a state relating to steering in a tactile manner through a steering wheel, and a second alert unit that alerts the driver to at least one of the states either in a tactile manner through a member other than the steering wheel or in an audible or visual manner. Of these alert units, the second alert unit is activated when the driver is in a hands-off state in which the driver's hands are inferred to be off the steering wheel. Thus, it is possible to appropriately alert the driver to at least one of the states even when the driver is in the hands-off state.

A power status display unit will display the power status of the moving object, which is defined based on the first power property, in an estimated passage position in an estimated passage display area. A rotational property setting unit will set a rotational property to the moving object which is dispatched from a character. A second power property setting unit will set a second power property to the moving object. A rotational status display unit will continuously display the rotational status of the moving object, which is defined based on the rotational property, in the estimated passage position.

Abstract: In the game program, playing teams in a competition game played by a CPU are determined by operation of a controller of the player through an playing team determining unit. An opening demonstration video of the competition game between the playing teams determined by the playing team determining unit is determined by the CPU, through an opening demonstration video determining unit. The opening demonstration video determined by the opening demonstration video determining unit is displayed or played back on a monitor by the CPU through an opening demonstration video display/playback unit prior to the start of a competition game. In this game program, after a virtual competition game is played by the CPU, a highlight scene in the virtual competition game that satisfies a predetermined highlight condition is determined from within the virtual competition game by a highlight scene determining unit.

Abstract: A mark representing information of a multivalued level is recorded in each of cells arranged in a recording medium.

Abstract: An optical information recording medium and a method of mastering an optical information recording medium. Cross-talk is avoided even when phase pits flanking a groove are radially aligned so that preformat information can be reliably reproduced after information is recorded at the grooves. A phase pit that encodes preformat information for a groove is radially spaced from that groove by a partition wall but is connected to an adjacent groove. When mastering, respective first and second exposing light beams are used to form the grooves and the phase pits, and the spacing between the two beams and, therefore, the width of the partition walls in the radial direction is precisely and easily controlled by controlling the inclination angle of at least one of the beams relative to an objective lens in the mastering exposure system.
