Abstract: A display device includes: a display screen configured to display an image for a game; a first sliding door in front of the display screen, the first sliding door driven by a motor to move along a first guide to open and close the display screen; a rotation axis configured to rotate based on variation of an opening area of the display screen due to movement of the first sliding door; a magnetic sensor configured to detect rotation of the rotation axis; and a controller configured determine position of the first sliding door based on a magnetic sensor signal from the magnetic sensor and to control the movement of the first sliding door based on the selected door control data.

Abstract: In a centrifugal fluid machine, the secondary flow loss inside an impeller is reduced and the occurrence, when the flow rate decreases, of a flow separation/stall on the shroud-side suction surface near the leading edge of each impeller blade is suppressed, thereby making it possible to maintain the operating range of the impeller. For this, at the trailing edge of each impeller blade, the trailing edge of each impeller blade is inclined so that the shroud side of the impeller blade is positioned more backward in the rotation direction than the hub side thereof as the impeller is seen from the suction direction upstream of the rotary shaft of the impeller. Also, out of two adjacent impeller blades, the shroud side of one impeller blade trailing the other impeller blade in the impeller rotation direction overlaps with the other impeller blade at around the leading edge of the one impeller blade.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a reel for a slot machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: forming an opening in a reel strip on which a plurality of first symbols are printed; forming a second symbol on an optical sheet by vacuum forming the optical sheet to form a symbol piece, the second symbol including a protrusion and a depression; attaching the symbol piece to the reel strip such that the second symbol is exposed through the opening of the reel strip; and attaching the reel strip to a reel frame for the slot machine.

Abstract: Title of the invention is Solar Cell Roofing Structure And The Solar Cell Panels Used Therein. As a roofing material, the solar cell panels are supported on a fireproof, non-inflammable material in such a way as to secure cooling air flow channels under the panels. Such a technology is aimed at guaranteeing durable and effective weathering and achieving cost reduction.These aims can be accomplished by the following means: The solar cell panel (19) which comprises a solar cell (1) disposed under tempered glass plate (8), an extension for lap roofing at the lower edge of said panel, and a metal sheet (20) integrated with said panel and having the bottom extended from the upper edge of said panel for the overlapping with the metal sheet of the upper panel, wherein said metal sheet is folded to give a projection (20a) for support at the center of panel width and to give embankments (20b) for support and hold on both the longitudinal sides of said panel.
