Abstract: An exposure device includes a long board, plural light emitting elements arranged along a longitudinal direction of the board on one face of the board, plural inspection electrodes arranged along the longitudinal direction of the board on the other face of the board, and plural electrical wirings each electrically connects between one of the plural light emitting elements and one of the plural inspection electrodes that is not positioned nearest to the one of the plural light emitting elements.

Abstract: A simulative golf game system provides a game image having a guide image indicating a stance setting, enabling the game player to easily recognize based on which stance is used, how the game is going to play. The guide image represents a power meter whose scale increases and decreases according to a spacing between the feet. The foot spacing determines the power applied to the shot and influences the flying distance of the golfball, thereby making the game more real.

Abstract: A disclosed apparatus and method controls an EGR valve including a valve body, a valve seat, and a step motor that fully closes the EGR passage by moving the valve body to abut onto the valve seat and that opens the EGR passage by moving the valve body away from the valve seat. This valve body is located on a side of the exhaust passage as viewed from the valve seat. A determination is made of whether the voltage of a battery connected to the step motor is relatively low, whether the temperature of a cooling water of the diesel engine is relatively high, and whether the exhaust gas pressure of the diesel engine is at a relatively high level. When it is determined that the voltage of the battery is relatively low, and/or it is determined that the temperature of the cooling water of the diesel engine is relatively high, and it is determined that the exhaust gas pressure of the diesel engine is at the relatively high level, the EGR valve is forcedly fully closed.

Abstract: A packet switch has pluralities of incoming and outgoing trunks, a data memory accessible from them in common, and FIFO memories each provided in each of input and output circuits. Data from the incoming trunks is written into and read out from the buffer memory for transfer to the outgoing trunks, on a time-shared basis, to perform packet switching between trunks of different data transfer rates. Furthermore, the packet switch has an arbiter for detecting process requests from the input circuits and an arbiter for detecting process requests from the output circuits, so that priority control is effected for servicing the requests. As a result, dynamic allocation of access to the buffer memory to the input and output circuits is permitted.
