Abstract: An air-leading type, stratified scavenging two-stroke engine. The engine including a cylinder member and a crankcase joined therewith has an intake passage, an exhaust passage, first and second scavenging passages, a communicating portion and an air passage. The intake passage, the exhaust passage and the air passage are formed in the cylinder member. The first and the second scavenging passages each has a cylinder member-side passage and a crankcase-side passage. The cylinder member-side passages of both of the first and the second scavenging passages communicate with each other via the communicating portion. The air passage is connected to the cylinder member-side passage of the first scavenging passage. In the engine, air for pre-scavenging is introduced from the air passage through a check valve into the cylinder member-side passage of the first scavenging passage, and a part of the introduced air flows into the second scavenging passage through the communicating portion.

Abstract: A stratified scavenging two-stroke engine includes: an intake passage that connects an intake opening through an outer surface of a cylinder member with an intake port opening to the inside of a cylinder, and supplies gaseous mixture of fuel and air; an exhaust passage that connects an exhaust outlet opening through the outer surface of the cylinder member with an exhaust port opening to the inside of the cylinder, and discharges combustion gas; a scavenging passage; and an air passage that connects an air inlet opening through the outer surface of the cylinder member with the scavenging passage and supplies pre-scavenging air into the scavenging passage. The intake and the air inlet are arranged at positions opposite from the exhaust port across the axis of the cylinder, and arranged side by side in a substantially circumferential direction of the cylinder or a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder.

Abstract: A non-limiting example information processing apparatus that functions as a game apparatus includes a first LCD and a second LCD, and usually, a game screen of a single-play game is displayed on the first LCD and a list screen is displayed on the second LCD. In the list screen, at least an icon of a player of another game apparatus capable of performing a communication is displayed. That is, during a time that game processing of the single-play is being performed, the game screen is displayed and a list of one or more players capable of playing a battle-play is displayed.

The player sends an offer of a battle-play to a desired player through an operation using the list screen at an arbitrary timing during a time that the game processing of the single-play is being performed.

Abstract: Provided is an image display device having a see-through-type display capable of suppressing decrease in visibility when background is visually recognized through a screen. The liquid crystal panel is driven such that chromaticity and a color temperature of source light are approximated to chromaticity and a color temperature of ambient light that have been measured by a color illuminance sensor attached to the display, the source light being transmitted through a region through which the ambient light is originally to be transmitted and having luminance lower than luminance of source light emitted from the light source. With this, in a region through which background of the liquid crystal panel can be seen, transparency seems to be increased and a viewer is able to see the background more easily.

Therefore, p-polarized light emitted by the light guiding plate toward the display screen side is reutilized by the first reflective polarizing plate causing the light to return to the light guiding plate, and further, p-polarized light emitted toward the back side is reutilized as well by the second reflective polarizing plate causing the light to return to the light guiding plate. In this manner, the light emitted by the light guiding plate toward the back side is also reused.

Abstract: An electric power supply control device comprises AC/DC converter, DC/DC converters, and an output electrical voltage monitor unit of the AC/DC converter. When output electrical voltage of the AC/DC converter increases to the first preset value P1, the AC/DC converter stops the convert. When the output electrical voltage decreases to the second preset value P2, the AC/DC converter restarts the convert. The first preset value P1 is equal to or less than the lowest value, out of the upper limit values in electrical voltage ranges in which the DC/DC converters CV1 and CV2 can work. The second preset value P2 is more than or equal to the highest value, out of the lower limit values in electrical voltage ranges in which the DC/DC converters CV1 and CV2 can work.
