  • Patent number: 7717781
    Abstract: A computer game which makes the player operate a falling object that falls in a predetermined display area, and clears the falling object and falling stop objects by combining the falling object and falling stop objects under a predetermined condition. If falling stop objects including blocks that stop falling include a group of blocks which meet a predetermined clear condition, the group of blocks are registered as blocks to be cleared, and the control waits for a clear waiting state. Even in this waiting state, the next falling object begins to fall. After that, when a sequence bar (701) which moves vertically or horizontally in synchronism with a music output along with the progress of the game has passed the blocks to be cleared, these blocks are cleared.

  • Patent number: 6605811
    Abstract: In an electron beam lithography system, an outputted main signal is applied directly to deflection plates, whereas an outputted auxiliary signal is applied to the deflection plate through a capacitive coupling for writing a wide strip-like pattern accurately at a high speed. In the electron beam lithography system, a deflection signal is divided into a main signal having a low frequency and a large amplitude and an auxiliary signal having a high frequency and a small amplitude. The main signal is applied directly to deflection plates, and the auxiliary signal is applied to the deflection plate through a capacitor.

  • Patent number: 5132578
    Abstract: A stepping motor for a timepiece is constituted by a rotatable rotor magnet on an outer surface of which magnetic poles having different polarities are alternately formed, and two stator assemblies, each including a pair of stators opposing around the rotor magnet to have a gap and having stator magnetic pole portions, and an excitation coil for exciting the pair of stators, for supplying currents to the excitation coils to rotate the rotor magnet. The two stator assemblies are disposed to be separated by a predetermined distance in an axial direction of the rotor magnet, so that stator gap central lines of the two stator assemblies cross each other at an angle of 90.degree. when viewed from the axial direction.
