  • Information processing apparatus, information processing system, information processing method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for skipping information processing in execution
    Patent number: 10353573
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that enables, during execution of information processing, a simple and intuitive operation to suspend the information processing, and to start another information processing. An example information processing apparatus includes a game processing unit that executes game processing, a suspension processing unit that suspends the game processing being executed in the game processing unit, in response to a touch-on operation to a touch panel, and a skip processing unit that switches the game processing being executed in the game processing unit to another game processing different from the game processing being suspended by the suspension processing unit, in response to a slide operation to the touch panel.

  • Process for purifying a polyether
    Patent number: 5973096
    Abstract: A process for purifying a polyether, which comprises adding to a polyether (A) containing a first salt, water (B) and a compound (C) which is capable of reacting with an ion constituting the first salt to form a second salt which is essentially insoluble in the polyether (A), then removing water, followed by removing the second salt from the polyether (A).
