Abstract: An information processing apparatus erases, on the basis of a chained state of a plurality of pieces arranged on a game field, the pieces in the chained state. The arrangement of the pieces in the game field is controlled such that, in a predetermined region on the game field, an odd number of pieces and an even number of pieces are alternately arranged on imaginary lines in an advancing direction on the game field. For example, the information processing apparatus erases a serial piece group formed as a chain by determining, starting from operation for any one piece on the imaginary line corresponding to a frontmost row among the imaginary lines, whether a piece of a same kind as the one piece is present in left and right pieces adjacent to the one piece present on a next imaginary line in the advancing direction from the operated one piece.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional object includes converting model data of the three-dimensional object into slice data, sintering powder based on the slice data after the conversion, and manufacturing the three-dimensional object by a layered manufacturing process of stacking a plurality of sintered layers. The method includes a part data correction process of correcting positional information of at least one of mutually adjoining part data of the model data of the three-dimensional object, and laying part data on each other by a predetermined amount of overlap, converting the model data corrected in the part data correction process into slice data, and after forming a sintered layer based on the slice data corresponding to one part, forming a sintered layer based on the slice data corresponding to the other part.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of manufacturing an optical connector according to which it is possible to adjust a projection length a bare optical fiber (7) projects from a connection end surface (3) of a ferrule (1). At a step (a), an optical fiber cored line (5) is inserted through and attached to an optical fiber insertion hole (4) of the ferrule (1), and the bare optical fiber (7) and the ferrule (1) are bonded to each other by hardening a heat-hardening adhesive (11) at a first hardening temperature. Next, at a step (b), the connection end surface (3) is ground so that the connection end surface (3) becomes flat and flush with a tip surface of the bare optical fiber (7). Following this, at a step (c), the heat-hardening adhesive (11) is heated again to be hardened at a temperature which is higher than the first hardening temperature, so that a tip of the bare optical fiber (7), causing pistoning due to the reheat hardening, projects from the connection end surface (3).
