Abstract: A liquid crystal display device contains a coordinate input device on the front side of a liquid crystal display unit. The coordinate input device is of a resistive contact type and includes a first light-transmitting substrate, and a second light-transmitting substrate having flexibility, which are arranged to face each other with a void space therebetween. A first light-transmitting electrode layer is formed on the inner side of the first light-transmitting substrate. A second light-transmitting electrode layer is formed on the inner side of the second light-transmitting substrate. The first light-transmitting substrate is different in thickness at its central portion and at its peripheral portion.

Abstract: A game system including a stationary game machine requiring an external power supply, such as a coin-operable business-use game machine or a home game machine, and a portable game machine having an internal power supply. Game programs for raising game characters are installed in the stationary and portable game machines. The stationary game machine has more internal resources, and its programs support higher resolution video game data. The portable game machine has a vibration sensor for receiving input during play, resulting in the raising of the character. Each of these game machines are provided with a radio data transfer means through which a game result from a memory in one of the game machines can be transferred to a memory in the other game machine. The game machine receiving the game result can use that result in subsequent processing, such as for a starting point in further play or for creating video data that can be printed on a printer.

Abstract: A nozzle orifice of a nozzle 1 comprises a tapered segment 16 extending from an elliptical discharge orifice 15 and having a taper angle ? of 30 to 80°, and a large-diameter segment 18 continuing with the tapered segment, and scale on a steel plate is removed by discharging water from the nozzle at a distance between discharge orifice 15 and the steel plate of not more than 600 mm, a pressure of 5 to 30 MPa, and a discharge flow rate of 40 to 200 l/minute. The ratio of the inner diameter of large-diameter segment 18 relative to the minor diameter of the discharge orifice 15 is not less than 3 and less than 7. Also, the discharge flow from the nozzle spreads in a single direction (width direction) within a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the nozzle and the erosion thickness angle is 1.5 to 30 in the direction (thickness direction) perpendicular to the width direction.

Abstract: In an analog resistive film type coordinate input device, first and second light-transmitting substrates oppose each other with an insulating layer interposed therebetween, transparent conductive films are respectively formed on inner sides of the respective substrates, and printed circuits connected to the transparent conductive films are respectively formed at peripheries of the substrates. A decorative printing layer is formed between a transparent conductive formed on an inner side of the second light-transmitting substrate and the second light-transmitting substrates, such that the printed circuits arranged at the peripheries of the substrates cannot be viewed form the operation surface side of the second light-transmitting substrate. A liquid crystal display device contains the coordinate input device on a front side of a liquid crystal display unit.
