  • Patent number: 9333419
    Abstract: Input information that selects one card among five cards that are arranged in one direction in a predetermined area of a game screen is received, and a player character is caused to make a motion corresponding to the selected card. When three cards to which an identical attribute is assigned are adjacently disposed in the predetermined area, the three cards are replaced with one card to which the same attribute as that of the three cards is assigned, but which differs in type from the three cards, the card positioned in the rightward direction relative to the replaced cards is shifted in the leftward direction, and an additional two cards are disposed in the space formed by shifting the card.

  • Publication number: 20130295751
    Abstract: This thin film forming method for a solar cell forms a thin film that contains a plurality of elements on the surface of an object to be processed. A raw material solution that contains the elements is dispersed in a processing space and microparticles by an electric field, and the microparticles that are dispersed form a thin film that adheres to the surface of the object to be processed. Thus, a thin film for a solar cell element with preferable crystallinity can be formed even in an atmosphere at atmospheric pressure.
