Patent number: 12064694Abstract: A player may send virtual characters to travel to remote locations in a parallel-reality game. The remote locations are virtual locations corresponding to real-world locations other than where the player is located. The player can therefore send a virtual character to a virtual location without traveling to the corresponding real-world location themselves. A travel time and a path the character will travel along to reach the remote location is determined. Once the virtual character has reached the remote location, it stays there for a duration of time. Client devices of players near the remote location may display a visual representation of the virtual character. The virtual character may collect virtual items and interact with other players and return to the player with any virtual items it has collected or been given.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2023Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: NIANTIC, INC.Inventors: Shohei Konno, Keita Tsutsui, Tatsuo Nomura, Hiroki Asakawa, Shigeru Miyamoto, Motoki Yano

Publication number: 20220266406Abstract: One array of grindstones is used for in-feed grinding and creep-feed grinding. Therefore, it is not necessary to position a chuck table that is holding a plate-shaped workpiece with respect to two different arrays of grindstones. As a result, a period of time required to grind the plate-shaped workpiece can be shortened. Furthermore, lower surfaces of the grindstones are used for the in-feed grinding, whereas side surfaces of the grindstones are used for the creep-feed grinding. Consequently, the amount by which the grindstones are worn can be smaller than that in a case where the plate-shaped workpiece is ground to a predetermined thickness in only the in-feed grinding or the creep-feed grinding.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: Satoshi YAMANAKA, Hiroki MIYAMOTO, Keisuke NAKANO, Ryo SHIMAZU

Patent number: 11280474Abstract: A lighting device includes a white LED, a full-color LED, and a reflecting portion. The reflecting portion reflects light from the white LED and the full-color LED. A microcomputer turns on the full-color LED to emit light containing a red light component while the white LED is on. Further, the white LED and the full-color LED are arranged so that reflected lights thereof reflected by the reflecting portion are mixed to perform illumination. Thereby, direct lights of the white LED and the full-color LED cannot be visually recognized. Further, light from the white LED with a lot of blue components is compensated with light containing a red component from the full-color LED, and spectral distribution can be made even and illumination close to that of natural light can be performed.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventor: Hiroki Miyamoto
