Abstract: A plurality of players operate player characters using controllers. The player characters form a friend team to attack enemy characters. The player characters make attacks on the enemy characters by firing bullets into a game space using guns, in accordance with the operations of the respective players. If one of the player characters attacks another one of the player characters, a life of the attacked player character decreases, and a life item for restoring a life also appears in the game space. The attacked player character can restore a life by acquiring the life item.

Abstract: An electric plug made of a synthetic resin material and capable of preventing tracking comprises a plug main body made of a synthetic resin material such as PVC, a pair of blades connected to electrical wires exposed at one end of a cable, and a groove formed in the front face portion of the plug main body at a position between the blades, so that the blades are prevented from becoming short-circuited due to the presence of dust or water-drops between the plug blades.

Abstract: Quality information with respect to a product in a second processed state is generated from quality information produced when a product in a first processed state is produced, using a processing condition for the product in the second processed state. A process to be effected on the product in the second processed state is automatically determined according to the generated quality information for thereby efficiently managing the production of the product.

Abstract: The original planar shape or developed shape of a product to be manufactured by bending is determined using a computer-aided design system. An operator operates a tablet unit to prepare, first and second projection drawings of, e.g., an L-shaped product, projected onto two planes parallel to the outside of first and second sides of the product, with a bending line in common. The computer-aided design system displays the first and second projection drawings on a display screen in accordance with shape data which defines the two projection drawings (S1). In response to the operator picking two vertices of each projection drawing on the side of the bending line using the tablet unit (S2, S3), the processor calculates distances of movement in the X- and Y-axis directions and the rotational angle of the second projection drawing required for the alignment of the two sets of vertices (S5).

Abstract: A drawing parameter setting method capable of setting drawing parameters for an XY plotter.When two vertexes (P1, P2) of a drawing subject region including a figure (F1'), for which a figure conversion process including figure movement, enlargement and reduction has been performed on a CRT screen (5a), are specified, a processor calculates the amount of movement of the figure before and after the conversion and a figure conversion scale, and also calculates coordinate positions ((LDX, LDY), (RUX, RUY), (MX, MY) of the two vertexes and a center (P3) of the drawing subject region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of defining a hole position of a punch mounting part in a progressive mold. Position of the holes (PH1-PH3) for parts such as bolts which mount punches on a plate (PLT) are defined, the positions of the part holes (PH1-PH3) are stored in correlation with punch shapes (DF1-DF3), and the part hole positions are moved in association with movement of the punch shapes.

Abstract: When a main figure (FG1) and at least one subordinate figure (FG2) are designated, a processor (11a) obtains, a point of intersection at which a figure element of the main figure (FG1) intersects each figure element, e.g., a linear element (EL.sub.1), constituting the subordinate figure (FG.sub.2). If a point of intersection exists, the figure element (EL.sub.1) is divided at the point of intersection (P.sub.c) to generate subordinate figure elements (EL.sub.11, EL.sub.12), and an item of hidden-flag data, which is indicative of a subordinate figure element (EL.sub.12) on an inner side of the main figure, is turned on. The image of the subordinate figure element (EL.sub.2) is not displayed on the display screen. In a case where a figure element such as the figure element (EL.sub.2) of the subordinate figure (FG2) is not intersected by any of the figure elements of the main figure (FG1), it is checked to see whether a starting point (P.sub.
