  • Patent number: 5986674
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a three-dimensional game apparatus and information storage medium which can display an object located at a position nearer a viewpoint to improve the reality in an image. It is judged whether or not a first object (or polygon or curved surface) is located at a position near the viewpoint. When the first object is located at the position near the viewpoint, a second object which is N times as large as the first object is located at a position spaced away from the viewpoint by L2=N.times.L1. The above judgment is performed based on whether or not the length L1 or depth coordinate Z1 of a vector is equal to or less than a given value. The drawing priority is determined by using 1/N of the depth coordinate of the second object or a second polygon or by using the depth coordinate of the first object or a first polygon. The shape data of the second object N times as large as the first object has been previously provided.

  • Patent number: 4498091
    Abstract: It has been found that phthalic acid monoester represented by the general formula: ##STR1## in which R is a saturated alkyl group of 4 to 20 carbon atoms where X is an alkyl group, a halogen or an alkoxy group, is applicable as color-developing agent to prepare heat-sensitive recording sheet with excellent results. It is observed that one of the two carboxylic acid groups of which phthalic acid is composed is esterified with the group mentioned in the claim to form water-insoluble, insublimable compound having melting point of 90.degree. to 130.degree. C. wherein the group introduced controls the acidity of the adjacent carboxylic acid group into a condition suitable for stable and concentrated color-development of colorless dye.

  • Patent number: 4473832
    Abstract: Pressure-sensitive recording sheets which comprise at least a transfer sheet having on its one side a coating including microcapsules containing as color-former black color-forming fluoran dye and a color-developing sheet having on its one side a color-developer layer containing at least activated clay, zinc carbonate and thiourea compound. The pressure-sensitive recording sheets of this invention provide pure black color image having high-color density, excellent light fastness and less color change with the lapse of time.

  • Patent number: 4399188
    Abstract: A heat-sensitive recording sheet containing in its color-forming layer a colorless or pale colored chromogenic fluoran-type dyestuff and p-hydroxybenzoic acid ester having the following general formula ##STR1## wherein R represents ##STR2## This heat-sensitive recording sheet incorporates high image density and very preferable recording aptitude with less abrasiveness and less residues accumulated even for long time recording.Furthermore, a phenol substance having a melting point of more than 90.degree. C. and a solubility of less than 0.1 g per 100 g water, which is used together with said p-hydroxybenzoic acid ester, is useful for lowering the yellowing of the heat-sensitive sheet.
