  • Publication number: 20240109459
    Abstract: A seat cushion is formed integrally by a body pad portion, an outer peripheral edge portion, and a connection portion. The outer peripheral edge portion protrudes toward a floor panel from the outer peripheral edge portion in a plan view and contacts a floor panel at its lower face. The connection portion is provided to protrude toward the floor panel at a portion which is separated from a front-side part of the outer peripheral edge portion and a rear-side part of the outer peripheral edge portion, respectively. The connection portion connects the floor panel and the body pad portion. A portion between the front-side part and the rear-side part of the outer peripheral edge portion in a vehicle longitudinal direction is a separation portion where a lower face of the seat cushion faces an upper face of the floor panel with a gap.

  • Publication number: 20240009570
    Abstract: In an example of an information processing system, in a case where a user character is present on an area in a first state on a wall surface, and while an input to an operation button is continued, the user character is caused to perform a preliminary action, and if at least the input to the operation button ends, the user character is moved to a boundary between the area in the first state and another area on the wall surface. If the user character reaches the boundary, the user character is caused to jump from the boundary.

  • Patent number: 11738265
    Abstract: In an example of an information processing system, while a user character in a hidden state is moving in a first direction, and if an input to a jump button and a direction operation input for moving the user character in a second direction are provided, and if a velocity condition and a first direction condition are satisfied, the user character is caused to immediately change direction to the second direction and is also caused to jump. The velocity condition is satisfied while the user character is moving at high speed. The first direction condition is satisfied when the difference between the first direction and the second direction is great.

  • Publication number: 20230192012
    Abstract: A vehicle upper structure reduces noise in a cabin by preventing vibration of a roof panel while avoiding an increase in manufacturing cost and an increase in vehicle weight. A vehicle includes a roof panel, a front header, a ceiling, and a vibration damping member. The front header extends in a vehicle width direction on an inner side of the cabin from the roof panel. The ceiling covers the roof panel from the inner side of the cabin. The vibration damping member is fixed to an upper surface of the ceiling. The vibration damping member is arranged between a sun visor fixed portion and a gusset fixed portion in the vehicle width direction and near the front header. The vibration damping member has at least two resonance frequencies and is configured such that one resonance frequency thereof is substantially the same as a resonance frequency of the ceiling.
