Patent number: 10603582Abstract: A non-limiting example game apparatus includes a main body apparatus that functions as a vibration control apparatus and a first controller and a second controller attachable to or detachable from the main body apparatus. For example, the game apparatus can be used in one of a first mode that two controllers are attached to the main body apparatus, a second mode that the two controllers are individually used in a separated state from the main body apparatus, a third mode that the two controllers are used in a state where the two controllers are detached from the main body apparatus and connected integrally to each other, and a fourth mode that a third controller that is different from the two controllers is used. For example, the same type of vibration motor is used for each controller, and a CPU incorporated in the main body apparatus controls a vibration waveform according to the usage mode of the game apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kei Yamashita, Takafumi Aoki, Yoshitaka Tamura

Publication number: 20120009310Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a demineralized milk that enables excellent reduction in the amount of monovalent minerals while suppressing any reduction in the amount of divalent minerals, as well as a demineralized milk produced using the above process, a process for producing a cheese and whey from the demineralized milk, and a cheese and whey produced using the above process. In the present invention, a demineralized milk having a significantly reduced amount of monovalent minerals is obtained by passing a raw milk solution through an anion exchange resin in chloride form, and then removing the monovalent minerals contained within the raw milk solution using a membrane separation process. Further, a cheese and whey can be produced by heating the obtained demineralized milk to produce a curd, and then separating the curd from the liquid other than the curd by solid-liquid separation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2010Publication date: January 12, 2012Applicant: Morinaga Milk Industriy Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuo Seki, Kie Kinoshita, Hitoshi Saito, Masatoshi Ohnishi, Yoshitaka Tamura, Hiroshi Koishihara, Mirei Odaka
