Conventional toothbrushes must be destroyed and incinerated as refuse after use, resulting in a waste of resources and generating carbon dioxide. A toothbrush is provided with: a toothbrush body having a head formed in an oval-ring shape, the head having a female part or male part being aligned with the toothbrush body and disposed at a connection region connecting to the toothbrush body; and a replaceable bristle part having a male or female part being releasably coupled to the male part or female part of the head. Thus, after an appropriate period of use, the replaceable bristle part can be easily exchanged. The coupling of the female part or male part prevents the fore-end of the toothbrush from shaking laterally during tooth brushing. The toothbrush provides a toothbrush body for repeated reuse, and contributes significantly to the reduction of carbon dioxide by a reduction in refuse.

It is an object of the invention to provide a character string display system, a character string display method, and a storage medium that can determine a display time according to character string display times in the past to thereby determine a display time corresponding to speed of reading and understanding a character string of an individual who reads the character string. The character string display system is characterized by including: a display time determining unit for determining a display time for a display character string on the basis of a reference value; a display unit for displaying the display character string for the display time determined by the display time determining unit; an operation unit for detecting predetermined operation performed by an operator while the display unit displays the display character string; and a reference value changing unit that, when the operation unit detects operation of the operator, extends or reduces a time, during which the display unit displays the display character string, and changes the reference value according to the extension or the reduction of the time for displaying the display character string.

Character string display system, character string display method, and storage medium

A string display system for displaying display target strings includes a storage unitthat correlates and stores detection target strings and display numbers, a display time determination unitthat provisionally determines display times of the display target strings, and a detection unitthat detects the detection target strings included in the display target strings. The display time determination unitconducts processing where, when the detection target strings are detected, the display numbers of the detection target strings are read from the storage unit, and the display times of the display target strings are shortened in accordance with the read display numbers. The string display system further includes a display unitthat displays the display target strings over the shortened display times of the display target strings.

String display system, string display method and storage medium

A game-development control method divides a game scenario into an introductory part including at least one pre-event and a subsequent main part including at least one event correlated with the one pre-event. When each pre-event is generated in the introductory part, pre-event generation data generated based on the generation of each pre-event are recorded on a recording medium. When each event is generated, pre-event generation data correlated to each event are read among the pre-event generation data recorded in the recording medium, and the read pre-event generation data are reflected in the contents of each event.

A single-chip microcomputer includes therein an electrically programmable read-only memory (EPROM) including a specific cell of the EPROM storing an item of information for discrimination of memory space. When a reset signal is applied for initializing the single-chip microcomputer, the specific cell of the EPROM is selected and read out, and further latched in a latch circuit. On the basis of the content of the latch circuit, the single-chip microcomputer discriminates and sets a boundary between an internal memory and an external memory during programmed operation.
