  • Publication number: 20100283907
    Abstract: A lamp clip 18 includes a main body 27, a lamp gripping portion 28, a first mounting portion 30 and a second mounting portion 31. The main body 27 is mounted to a chassis 14 that houses a plurality of tubular cold cathode tubes 17. The lamp gripping portion 28 is provided on a surface of the main body 27 opposing the cold cathode tube 17 so as to grip the cold cathode tube 17. The first mounting portion 30 protrudes from the main body 27 so as to extend toward the chassis 14 and to be in a first mounting hole 32 formed in the chassis 14 so that a rim of the first mounting hole 32 is sandwiched between the first mounting portion 30 and the main body 27. The second mounting portion 31 protrudes from the main body 27 so as to extend toward the chassis 14 and to be inserted in a second mounting hole 33 formed in the chassis 14 so that a rim of the second mounting hole 33 is sandwiches between the second mounting portion 31 and the main body 27.

  • Patent number: 7737968
    Abstract: Games are processed in a more realistic and immediate manner during image processing for soccer games and the like. Specifically, the movements of characters more accurately simulate those of actual opponents, resulting in greater game realism. The invention is an image processing device for imaging and displaying the behavior of characters modeled on opponents in virtual three-dimensional space. It is determined (S21 to S24) whether or not there exists a certain situation in which the relation to the game contents (in the centering area, for example) or the positional relation (such as distance) between characters and a target (such as opponent characters or the ball) having a relation through the game to said characters matches certain conditions, and the eyes of the characters are directed to the target (S25, S26, S28, etc.) when it is determined that the certain situation exists. The invention is especially suitable for soccer games.
