Abstract: At least one memory device of a game system stores a plurality of instructions, which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to: set, on a touch panel, a reception area for receiving a direction designation operation; move, in accordance with a movement of a touch position on the touch panel, an operation position in a direction corresponding to a moving direction of the touch position by a distance longer than a moving distance of the touch position; acquire a designated direction based on a direction from a reference position corresponding to the reception area to the operation position; and execute game processing based on the designated direction.

Abstract: A first selecting section selects any one of a plurality of movement control information items. Relationship information between a first game character and a second game character in possess ion of a moving object is acquired. A second selecting section selects any one of the plurality of movement control information items based on a selection result obtained by the first selecting section and the relationship information. The first game character moves based on the movement control information selected by one of the first and second selecting sections. The second game character performs an action for moving the moving object toward a target position based on the movement control information selected by another one of the first and second selecting sections.

Abstract: To provide a game device capable of expressing, through a relatively simple process, a picture showing a first character object grabbing and pulling a clothing object of a second character object. According to the present invention, a direction from the position of the second character object to the position of the first character object is obtained, and based on the obtained direction, the positions of at least some of the vertexes of the clothing object are changed (S205). Further, the position of a predetermined portion of the first character object, which is used to pull the clothing object, is changed, based on the obtained direction (S206).

Abstract: To perform three-dimensional graphics processes by reducing the number of polygons to be processed, a storage unit (202) of an image processor (201) stores each of a plurality of polygons making up the surfaces of an object placed in a virtual three-dimensional space, in association with any of the surfaces of an approximate polyhedron which approximates the shape of the object, a determination unit (203) determines whether or not each of the surfaces of the stored approximate polyhedron can be seen in a case where the virtual three-dimensional space is observed along a predetermined sight line direction from a predetermined viewpoint, and a generation unit (204) generates an image, as observed along the predetermined direction from the predetermined viewpoint, of polygons, among the plurality of polygons stored in association, that are determined at a determining step as can been seen.

Abstract: Resorcinol and hydroquinone are recovered in mixture at a high purity from a solution containing resorcinol and hydroquinone, especially, a solution resulting from cleavage of oxidation products of isopropylbenzene and successive distillation of the cleavage product thereby to remove lower and higher boiling components therefrom, by adding 0.

Abstract: Meta-and/or paradiisopropylbenzene dihydroperoxides are continuously produced by oxidizing meta-and/or paradiisopropylbenzenes in liquid phase through contact with oxygen or a gas containing oxygen, while keeping the concentration of meta-and/or paradiisopropylbenzene monohydroperoxides of the oxidation product solution in a range of 20 to 40% by weight.

Abstract: Impurities, that is, by-products, in an oxidation product solution obtained by oxidation of diisopropylbenzene by molecular oxygen or in the oxidation product solution freed from diisopropylbenzene dihydroperoxide, are removed by extracting the by-products such as carbinols, ketones and styrenes from the solution with a mixture of an aqueous alkaline solution and at least one of alcohols having 1 to 3 carbon atoms such as methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol, as an extracting reagent at a temperature of 20.degree. to 80.degree.C.

Abstract: In a process for the production of hydroperoxides by the oxidation of an aromatic hydrocarbon having at least one tertiary carbon atom with oxygen or an oxygen containing gas in the presence of an aqueous alkaline solution, an improvement is made in that the oxidation is effected in an emulsion phase which is caused by powerfully mixing all or a part of the materials to be brought into the oxidation reaction only by the aid of the hydroperoxides formed in the reaction, whereby enhancing the reaction rate with safety.

Abstract: Dihydroperoxides of dialkylaromatic hydrocarbons are separated in high yield from an aqueous alkaline solutions of hydroperoxides containing the dihydroperoxides by adding 0.01 to 1 % by weight of a compound having a nitrogen base, such as ammonia and aromatic amines, to the solution, based on the weight of the solution, thereby stabilizing the dihydroperoxides in the solution, and separating the dihydroperoxides therefrom by extraction.
