A printer according to an embodiment includes a conveying unit, a holding unit, a supporting unit, a second detecting unit, and a control unit. The conveying unit conveys paper. The holding unit includes a light emitting unit configured to radiate light and a first detecting unit configured to detect the light reflected on the paper. The supporting unit supports the holding unit to be movable in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to a conveying direction of the paper. The second detecting unit is disposed on an opposite side of the light emitting unit across a paper conveying path, on which the conveying unit conveys the paper, and detects the light radiated by the light emitting unit. The control unit determines, based on a detection result of the second detecting unit, whether the light emitting unit is present in a position opposed to the second detecting unit.

Printer

Provided is a game system including at least one processor configured to: select at least one game object from a plurality of selection candidate game objects, as a game object to be associated with first user identification information, based on predetermined lottery processing; associate the selected game object with the first user identification information; and set, as one of the plurality of selection candidate game objects, a game object which is associated with second user identification information and generated based on a game play by a second user who is identified by the second user identification information.

Game system, game control device, and information storage medium

A probe cover is provided. The probe cover is configured to be detachably attached to an ultrasonic probe and cover plural switches on a surface of the ultrasonic probe, the probe cover including a depression portion by which an operator can depress at least some of the plural switches when the probe cover is attached to the ultrasonic probe.

Probe cover, ultrasonic probe, and ultrasonic image display apparatus

An ultrasonic probe connected to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus having a display unit configured to display an ultrasonic image is provided. The ultrasonic probe includes a transducer array aligned in a predetermined direction for and configured to transmit an ultrasonic beam to a target object and receive a reflected ultrasonic beam, a probe display unit fixed to said ultrasonic probe and having a length at least as long as a length of said transducer array, and a display control unit configured to, based on a specific information specified in the ultrasonic image displayed on the image display unit, display a corresponding position of the specific information on said probe display unit.

Ultrasonic probe, position display apparatus and ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus

A bankbook printing apparatuscomprises a bankbook printing sectionconfigured to print on a bankbook conveyed from an insertion openingin an opened state; a closing mechanismconfigured to close the bankbook printed by the printing section; and a conveyance mechanismconfigured to convey the bankbook inserted into the insertion openingin an opened state towards a downstream and to convey the bankbook closed by the closing mechanismtowards an upstream where the insertion openingis arranged and discharge the closed bankbook from the insertion opening

Bankbook printing apparatus and bankbook printing method

A gaming machine is provided which includes: at least one operation means that accepts an input operation performed by a player when pressing down on the at least one operation means; at least one display unit having a display the player is able to see through the surface of the operation means; operation-instruction-mark output means that outputs an operation instruction mark for signaling an input timing the player performs an input operation, to the display unit for each of the operation means; evaluation means that evaluates a game score of the player based on comparison between the input-timing and an operation timing the player performed the input operation, the operation-instruction-mark output means starting to control an output of the operation instruction mark a predetermined period of time ta before the input timing, so as to change a form of the operation instruction mark little by little for the predetermined period of time ta until the input timing.

Gaming machine, gaming method, and gaming program

A gaming machine is provided which includes: an operation sequence tablestoring an operation sequence in which one or more groups of time-series input timings are associated with operation means to be operated for input by a player based on the group of the input timings; operation instructing meansthat outputs an operation instruction based on the operation sequence; evaluation meansthat evaluates a game score based on comparison between the input timings and an operation timings; a criterion tablestoring a criterion for determining a master level of the player; a master level determining meansthat determines a master level of the player based on the criterion; and operation sequence changing meansthat changes a part of at least one group of input timings, in the case where the player has a master level equal to or more than a predetermined value.

For providing a flexible printed circuit board in which the distance between each of plural wiring patterns is a desired distance by cutting the flexible printed circuit board having plural wiring patterns, plural wiring patterns are formed so as to extend on the surface of an electrically insulative base film, and each of the plural wiring patterns is formed so as to include a portion where the distance between each of them is narrowed along the extending direction of the base film.

Method of manufacturing an ultrasonic probe

In order to facilitate recognition of the correct orientation of a connector, the rear portion of a connectoris configured to form an elevation angle when the front portion of the connector can be correctly inserted into a receptaclein a horizontal direction.

Connector case, ultrasonic probe and ultrasonic imaging apparatus

For the purpose of reducing the numbers of members and molds to reduce the cost of manufacture, and improving grippability in an ultrasonic probe, a fixing member fitted with an ultrasonic element , a broad cable , a connector , and a connection cable is inserted into a mold, and an ultrasonic lens portion , a case , and a bushing portion are integrally molded by insert molding. Since an ultrasonic probe is made using a single mold, the number of members is reduced, the number of assembly steps is reduced, and reduction in the cost of manufacture can thus be achieved.

Ultrasonic probe

In order for an operator to perceive a lock completion of the mechanical connection between a connector of an ultrasonic probe and a socket of an ultrasonic diagnostic equipment main body, the following structure is provided. In the ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, the ultrasonic probe includes a connector portion having a lock mechanism (a cam shaft penetrating a connector, a conductive movable contact/lock pin projecting from the cam shaft, and a connector lock releasing handle), and an ultrasonic probe main body. The ultrasonic diagnostic equipment main body includes a socket having connection hole H for connecting the connector, a locking confirming contact points for conducting by being in contact with the movable contact/lock pin as the connection with the connector being mechanically locked, LED for illuminating under conduction, and a safety circuit for allowing for starting scanning when conducting.

Ultrasonic diagnostic equipment

In order to prevent a troublesome result if a wrong operation button is pressed by mistake, a signal is transmitted from a &ldquo;New Patient&rdquo; button to a control section &prime; when a normal/lock switching switch is in a normal mode. When the normal/lock switching switch is in a lock mode, no signal is transmitted from the &ldquo;New Patient&rdquo; button to the control section &prime;, and an LED is lit.
