Abstract: To provide a game device capable of improving operability of operation means. First acquisition means (61) acquires information regarding an operation state of an operation member included in the operation means. Second acquisition means (62) acquires information regarding a change in position or posture of the operation means. First control means (63) causes an operation target to perform a first action based on a result acquired by the first acquisition means (61). Second control means (64) causes the operation target to perform a second action based on a result acquired by the second acquisition means (62).

Abstract: A vulcanizable fluorine-containing elastomer composition having excellent stability in molding and kneading property, from which a vulcanized article having a small compression set can be produced in a short period of time. The vulcanizable fluorine-containing elastomer composition comprises a vulcanization agent, a vulcanization aid and a fluorine-containing elastomer having C—H bond in its polymer chain, and an optimum vulcanization time T90 (min) of the composition and a compression set CS (%) of the vulcanized article satisfy the following equations (I) and (II): Equation (I): in case of 50,000?MW?200,000, CS??3.45 Ln(T90)+22.8?4×10?5×MW Equation (II): in case of 200,000<MW, CS??3.45 Ln(T90)+14.8.

Abstract: A main circuit block and a sub-circuit block are located alongside of each other on a substrate of a semiconductor integrated circuit device. A plurality of bonding pads, which are connected to external leads of the device, are disposed around the main circuit block. A plurality of first wires are disposed extending from the main circuit block into space between the bonding pads. Each wire has a shape connectable to another wire, for example the wire has a tip having a portion perpendicular to the semiconductor substrate, or the wire has a tip having a cross-wire portion which intersect with an extended line of the wire. A plurality of second wires are extended from the sub-circuit block, and each electrically connected to one of the first wires.

Abstract: A process for preparing a fluoropolymer by polymerizing one or more radically polymerizable monomers comprising at least one fluoroolefin monomer in the presence of a radical polymerization initiator and as case demands, an inactive fluorocarbon and chain transfer agent in a reaction field where at least one of components forming the reaction field is in a supercritical state. According to the preparation process, generation of unstable end groups of the polymer, a decrease in a purity and complicated post-treatment can be eliminated.

Abstract: Hydrogen fluoride is effectively removed from a mixture of hydrogen fluoride, dichloromethane, chlorofluoromethane and/or difluoromethane by distilling the mixture so that two-component azeotropic mixtures of hydrogen fluoride and dichloromethane, hydrogen fluoride and chlorofluoromethane and hydrogen fluoride and difluoromethane are removed, or by liquid-separating the mixture into an upper liquid phase rich in hydrogen fluoride and a lower liquid phase not rich in hydrogen fluoride before each liquid phase is distilled as described above.
