Abstract: An image controlling device and method thereof is provided with superior operability when making selections from a menu displayed on a display device such as a CRT display. In the preferred embodiments of the image controlling device and method of the present invention, a menu is constructed by arranging a plurality of menu items three-dimensionally along a cylinder. A portion of these menu items is then displayed in such a manner that viewing is performed from the center of this cylinder outwards. The shifting velocity of the menu items is changed while all of the menu items are shifted in response to input signals from a controller operated by the user and the menu item arranged at the center of the picture is determined to be the selected menu item. When a following level exists for the selected menu item, this level is proceeded to and menu items are displayed on the display device in the same way.

Abstract: A floating-refuse-collecting boat of a twin-hulled construction includes a floating-refuse collector located in the water channel formed between the hulls. A plurality of main water-jet units are installed on the bows of the hulls for directing jets of water rearwardly through the water channel for guiding and forcing the refuse afloat in the vicinity of the entrance into the channel and toward the collector. In addition, a plurality of auxiliary water-jet units are mounted on the hulls rearwardly of the main water-jet units and in front of the collector to provide jets of water which prevents refuse from flowing out of the collector when the boat moves astern.
