    Abstract: A display control device assigns a first index to a plurality of first still images and a second index to a plurality of second still images, such that the feature points having periodic movements correspond between the first still images and the second still images. In this way, a first animation included in a first display screen and a second animation included in a second display screen are displayed using continuous playback of the first still images and the second still images. When transitioning from the first display screen to the second display screen, a pre-transition image, which is the first still image immediately before the screen transition, is displayed, the second index corresponding to the first index assigned to the pre-transition image is selected, and the second still image is played back from the selected second index.

  • Patent number: 10746227
    Abstract: When inner diameter side opening portions are projected on an outer circumferential surface of a retainer along extension lines of central lines of radial holes, at least parts of the inner diameter side opening portions of a plurality of radial holes of an outer ring are positioned within an area of two circles formed by connecting each of axial end portions of adjacent pockets of the retainer in an axial direction. When a central line of any one radial hole coincides with a circumferential phase of a center of a ball, any other radial hole is formed such that the projected inner diameter side opening portion is separated from the ball and an inner circumferential surface of the pocket when viewed from the radial direction of the ball bearing, and a central line of the other radial hole overlaps with the pocket when viewed from the axial direction.
