Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute: setting an upper limit value for a parameter of a game object in accordance with a specific condition; changing the parameter within the upper limit value serving as a limit; and assigning, upon the satisfaction of a prescribed condition, a privilege with which it is possible to change the parameter of the game object up to a specified value on advantageous terms even in the case where the specified value exceeds the upper limit value.

Abstract: Provided is an antenna apparatus which is capable of improving a gain in a specific direction, reducing an unnecessary gain in an angle range, and reducing its height. A radome 220 is formed such that a central portion positioned above a patch array antenna 130 is formed in different shapes in an outer wall and an inner wall.

Abstract: A remote controller 1 is capable of achieving switching operation even when the user presses substantially any place of a switch. A toilet seat open/close switch 12 has a tiltable member 20 which is tiltably supported at its front lower portion to an upper portion of a main body 2, a switch body 30 which is pressed by the tiltable member 20 when the tiltable member 20 tilts, and a cap 40 which is mounted to the upper portion of the main body 2 such that the cap 40 can be freely displaced in the anteroposterior direction and the vertical direction. The tiltable member 20 is disposed in a cavity 41 formed inside the cap 40. As the cap 40 is pressed from front or from above, the tiltable member 20 is pressed by the cap 40 to tilt, whereby the switch body 30 conducts the switching action.

Abstract: In a multi-storied frame building, a controlled frame member having means to damp seismic forces of deformation. A first vertical wall column has a top connected to a horizontal wall girder overhanging the wall column. A second wall column is erected in vertical alignment beneath the tip end of the wall girder co-planar with, but spaced from, the first wall column. A seismic response control apparatus connected between the tip end of the wall girder and the top of the second wall column generates damping force when the tip end of the wall girder and the top of the second wall column are displaced relative to each other. Additional girders are arranged on lower stories of the building as required to further strengthen the building against seismic deformation.
