Abstract: In a video game machine, a character's action is scored according to whether or not a game player operates an operation unit at a suitable timing. An action selecting control function urges the game player to select an action. A command specifying control function specifies a command representing a combination of operations to be performed by the game player when a competitor reaches a predetermined distance from a course lip of a half-pipe course and causes a display unit to display the specified combination of operations corresponding to the selected action. A command input determining function determines whether the specified command has been input before the competitor reaches the course lip. An action conducting control function causes the competitor to conduct the selected action when the specified command is input. A scoring control function scores the competitor's action in view of five performance elements.

Abstract: Disclosed is (1) a rubber composition used for molding a glass-run equipped with a urethane lubricating layer on the sliding area of the glass, which comprises an EPDM and an adhesive modifier, wherein the adhesive modifier comprises glycidyl ether, and a metal hydroxide of a metal selected from metals of the III B group and the II A group and (2) a rubber composition used for molding a glass-run equipped with a urethane lubricating layer on the sliding area of the glass, which comprises an EPDM and an adhesive modifier, wherein the adhesive modifier comprises a glycidyl ether, a metal hydroxide of a metal selected from metals of the III B group and the II A group and an amine-containing compound as an epoxy group ring-opening accelerator, and further a glass-run comprising the above rubber composition.

Abstract: A flexible heat and gasoline resistant rubber laminate having high interlaminar adhesion consisting of a rubber layer (1) consisting a blend of (a) acrylic polymer derived from plasticized crosslinkable acrylates and an unsaturated epoxy group containing compound and (b) a vinylidene fluoride resin, laminated to a rubber layer (2) consisting essentially of crosslinked acrylic polymer derived from plasticized crosslinkable acrylates and unsaturated epoxy group consisting compounds.

Abstract: A loop control apparatus for controlling general process control such as control of the temperature of water supply comprises an interpreter for interpreting input information in the form of trains of characters to provide instrument information and a compiler for interpreting the train of character and compiling therefrom operational equation information. The trains of characters are inputted from an external general purpose computer as a man-machine interface through a serial interface provided within the loop control apparatus, and are subjected to word analysis and syntax analysis by the interpreter and the compiler. Loop control function information produced through the word and syntax analysis is stored into a memory means. Once the instrument design and the operational design have been completed, the interface computer is not needed and can thus be used for other jobs not related to the system under control.

Abstract: An adhesive composition useful for adhesion of rubber to metal is produced by dissolving a chlorinated type polymer and a petroleum resin, optionally in combination with a dithiocarbamate, in an organic solvent.

Abstract: An apparatus for drying and conditioning tobacco leaves, including a heater for heating conditioning air for conditioning tobacco leaves after drying, a temperature controller for controlling the heater so that the temperature of the conditioning air becomes a preset temperature, an atomized water sprayer for cooling the conditioning air fed to the heater, a humidifier for humidifying the conditioning air, and a humidity controller for detecting the moisture content of the tobacco leaves after drying and conditioning and controlling the humidifier so that the moisture content of the tobacco leaves becomes a target moisture content. The humidity controller is so constructed as to control the humidifier on the basis of a wet-bulb temperature. Saving of heat energy can be attained, and because a cooling chamber is not needed, the apparatus can be made compact and it becomes easier to stabilize a target moisture content.
