  • Patent number: 9180375
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to raise a player's interest in an operation of a mission screen in a social game. A server device configured to be connected over a network to a user terminal, the server device configured to control a game that progresses as a player accomplishes given missions, the server device includes: a screen data generation unit configured to generate data of a mission screen in response to a request from the user terminal operated by the player, the mission screen having displayed thereon a plurality of mission progress buttons for causing the missions to progress; and a response process unit configured to perform a process of causing a predetermined event to occur in response to an input from the player through any of the plurality of mission progress buttons.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6516654
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for analyzing particulate matter in a gas for analyzing simply and with high precision the particulate matter in an engine emission and an apparatus therefor by which dry soot, SOF and sulfate in PM contained in an engine emission can be fractionated individually even in a trifle amount. The present invention further provides a carbon differentiating and analyzing apparatus capable of differentiating and analyzing with precision the organic carbon and the elemental carbon contained in a sample and capable of performing a predetermined analysis with precision in a short time by reducing the period of time required for the analysis. The present invention is constituted such that a heating furnace is provided with a filter which has caught PM contained in engine emission. The filter is heated at a predetermined temperature while passing an inert gas into the heating furnace to evaporate the SOF and sulfate contained in PM.

  • Patent number: 4747297
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring and analyzing the concentration or weight of particulates in the exhaust gas from a diesel engine. The apparatus includes a carbon particle detector which continuously measures dry soot concentration and high and low temperature HC detectors which respectively continuously measure the concentrations of gaseous hydrocarbon compounds (1) in a high-temperature undiluted state immediately upon leaving the diesel engine and (2) in a low-temperature diluted and cooled state after dilution with room air. Standard gas detectors are provided for both the high-temperature undiluted exhaust gas and the diluted and cooled exhaust gas in order to continuously determine the amount of dilution of the diluted exhaust gas. Outputs from the detectors are input to a computer to provide continuous determination of the total concentration or weight of particulates which are composed of soot particles and soluble organic fractions, as well as separate determinations of these components.

  • Patent number: 4594004
    Abstract: An apparatus for continuously measuring the concentration of particulates in a sample gas by using an optoacoustic effect. Identical laser rays are directed along two optical paths, and a chopper and an optoacoustic cell are position in the recited order in each of the optical paths. Sample gas containing particulates is introduced into one optoacoustic cell and sample gas from which the particulates have been removed is introduced into the other optoacoustic cell. The respective choppers are driven for producing a chopping action on the respective laser rays at a frequency corresponding to the resonant frequency of the corresponding optoacoustic cells, and the outputs from the cells can be compared for providing an indication of the concentration of the particulates in the sample gas.
