Abstract: A non-limiting example game system includes a main body apparatus that executes a main story of a virtual game, and a game screen is displayed on a display device. If a player operates a ZL button when a predetermined flower object is arranged near a player character, a magic circle appears in front of the player character, and a rhythm game is started. In the rhythm game, a first marker is moved around the player character along an orbiting trajectory, and the player tilts an analog stick at a timing that the first marker arrives at a position that a second marker is arranged so as to designate the position that the second marker is arranged.

Abstract: A vocalization assistance device includes: a mounting body that is mounted in an oral cavity of a person and that has a facing portion facing a palate of the person; a diaphragm that is provided at the facing portion and that is capable of outputting a sound recorded by a device having a recording function, as an original sound; and a passage that is provided at the facing portion and that is configured to transmit the original sound output from the diaphragm to a rear side of the oral cavity.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the need, when a robot has been replaced with a new robot that is different in size, for an operator to directly re-input as operation program to make the robot operative. This robot control device comprises: a storage unit that stores an operation program; and a control unit that operates a robot is a robot coordinate system with three orthogonal axes. The control unit is provided with: a mobility range determination unit that determines whether there is, in the operation program, an axis, among the three orthogonal axes, that exceeds a mobility range of the robot; and a correction unit that, if it has been determined by the mobility range determination unit that there is an axis that exceeds the mobility range of the robot, rewrites the operation program so the axis is kept within the mobility range of the robot.

Abstract: A waste treatment system comprises: a first hydrothermal treatment device for performing hydrothermal treatment of waste; a first solid-liquid separation device for separating a first reactant of the first hydrothermal treatment device into a solid and a liquid or slurry; a second hydrothermal treatment device for performing hydrothermal treatment of the solid of the first reactant; a second solid-liquid separation device for separating a second reactant of the second hydrothermal treatment device into a solid and a liquid or slurry; and a fermentation device for fermenting the liquid or the slurry of the first reactant and the liquid or the slurry of the second reactant.

Abstract: A bending device for a wire includes a holder including a stepped part, the stepped part includes a side-surface corner and a flat surface, and the side-surface corner includes a curved surface. The bending device includes a guide member configured to push the wire against and along the curved surface, and the guide member revolves around a rotational axis of the guide member. The rotational axis of the guide member is disposed on a same axis as a center of the circle defining the curved surface of the holder.

Abstract: There is provided a hydrogel-forming material from which a hydrogel can be formed with a simpler method and under milder conditions. A hydrogel-forming material comprising a lipid peptide-type gelator that is formed of at least one selected from compound of the following formula (1): where R1 is a C9-23 aliphatic group; R2 is a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group which optionally has a C1-2 branched chain; R3 is a —(CH2)n—X group; n is a number from 1 to 4; and X is an amino group, a guanidino group, a —CONH2 group, or a 5-membered ring group or a 6-membered ring group, or a condensed ring group that contains a 5-membered ring and a 6-membered ring, optionally containing 1 to 3 nitrogen atoms, and the similar compounds or pharmaceutically usable salts thereof; water; and an additive including either an organic acid or an organic acid salt.
