摘要:
In a game system such as a television game system, a television game machine main unit includes a protocol controller and each game operation device connected to the television game machine unit via a serial port also has a protocol controller. The television game machine main unit when connected to a game operation device which has a unique identifier, combines a communication protocol that transmits and receives data for each character with a communication protocol which transmits or receives data for two or more characters in a row and switches the communication protocol which corresponds to that game operation device based on the identifier thereof to minimize the amount of information required between the television game machine main unit and the game operation device.

A power amount control method includes inputting for storage both a customer's contracted power amount and the customer's actually consumed power amount, visually displaying via network links a power amount difference between the contracted power amount and the consumed power amount, and obtaining such power amount difference between the contracted power amount and the consumed power amount for execution of either price setting of the contracted power amount or a contract breach process in accordance with the power amount difference.

In the coordinate-position inputting/detecting device, the light receiving/emitting devices emit light beams spreading in a fan shape and travelling along an entry area. The light receiving/emitting devices also receive the light beam reflected by a recursive reflecting member and detect the distribution of the intensity of the received light beam. The coordinates of a position of a pointing body such as a user's fingertip or a pen inserted in the entry area is identified using the distribution of intensity detected by the light receiving/emitting devices.

The time required to perform communications between an entertainment apparatus and a manual controller having complex and sophisticated functions which is connected to the entertainment apparatus is reduced. A type of control data to be outputted from a manual controller when control units including direction keys are operated is defined (limited) according to an application program that is recorded in an optical disk and read by the entertainment apparatus. The manual controller has a setting register for setting such a type of control data. After a type of control data is defined in the setting register of the manual controller from the entertainment apparatus, a CPU of the manual controller transmits only control data of the type set in the setting register for each frame of image. By thus limiting types of control data to be transmitted, the time required to perform communications between the entertainment apparatus and the manual controller is shortened.

A coordinate inputting/detecting system includes a display apparatus having a display surface, a coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus having a coordinate inputting/detecting surface arranged at the display surface of the display apparatus so as to detect a designated position in the display surface of the display apparatus, a marking that is provided on the display surface of the display apparatus so as to define a predetermined virtual display area of the display apparatus, a marking coordinate determining device that determines a coordinate of the marking based on the detected designated position of the marker by the coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus when the marking is designated via the coordinate inputting/detecting surface of the coordinate inputting/detecting apparatus, a marking coordinate memorizing device that memorizes the marking coordinate determined by the marking coordinate determining device, and an adjusting device that adjusts a display area of the display apparatus to the virtual display area defined by the marking.

This invention concerns an external operation device and makes it possible to conduct communication at a faster rate than previously. The operation means is connected to the operation object via an optical fiber and by converting the electrical signals of the transmission object to optical signals during communication and transmitting said optical signals via optical fibers, even if the frequency is high, no electromagnetic-wave noise is generated as happens when the operation means is connected to the operation object via electrically conductive wires. Thus there is no need to limit the frequency of the optical signals, that is, the communication speed, and therefore communication can be done at a faster rate than previously.

In the coodinate-position inputting/detecting device, the light receiving/emitting devices emit light beams spreading in a fan shape and travelling along an entry area. The light receiving/emitting device also receiving the light beam reflected by a recursive reflecting member and detect the distribution of the intensity of the received light beam. The coordinates of a position of a pointing body such as a user's fingertip or a pen inserted in the entry area is identified using the distribution of intensity detected by the light receiving/emitting devices.
摘要:
A data transmission rate control method in which a transmission control scheme used for data transmission over each channel is switched depending on a subband to which a proper transmission rate of the channel belongs, the subband being prepared by dividing an entire band by one or more boundaries. This makes it possible to solve a problem in conventional systems of variations in accuracy due to the bandwidth, and an increase in the circuit scale, when the a cell rate to be controlled ranges over wide bandwidth.

Novel suppository pharmaceutical formulations of the platinum antitumor agent, JM216, are provided. Such dosage forms provide an alternative to the oral form currently available and offer improved bioavailability of this promising drug.
摘要:
A storage apparatus that includes a storage shelf having a plurality of horizontally and vertically arranged storage sections for storage of articles and a moving body for taking articles in and out of the storage shelf. Conventionally, since an article carrying in and out section for taking articles in and out of such storage apparatus is divided into working sections having substantially the same width as that of storage sections, a space for work is small and a work is made difficult and inefficient when the moving body is used to take articles out of the storage sections or articles are placed on the working sections. Therefore, a working space, which protrudes beyond the article carrying in and out section and is free of partitions is provided. With such arrangement, however, there is a problem that a storage apparatus is extended in a lengthwise direction. An article carrying in and out section of the storage apparatus is formed by an opening which is opened across a plurality of widths of the storage sections between front and rear surfaces of the storage shelf provided with the article carrying in and out section, so that a large working space can be provided which is free of any portion protruding beyond the storage apparatus.
