An example of an information processing apparatus acquires action data based on an output of a sensor according to a fitness action performed by a player, and executes a game event. In the game event, the information processing apparatus designates at least one type of fitness event from among a plurality of types of fitness events. Each fitness event causes the player to perform a fitness action. During the game event, the information processing apparatus executes a fitness event that causes the player to perform a fitness action corresponding to the designated fitness event until an ending condition is satisfied. The information processing apparatus determines whether or not the achievement condition has been satisfied, based on the action data acquired during the fitness event. The information processing apparatus repeats designation and execution of the fitness event until it is determined that the achievement condition has been satisfied.

During execution of a game, first-type processing is executed if it is determined that an input device has been moved in a first direction at a timing when a predetermined condition is satisfied during execution of the game, on the basis of operation data including at least data based on an output of an inertial sensor. In a case where, on the basis of the operation data, it is determined that the input device has been moved in a second direction at a timing when the predetermined condition is satisfied, if it is further determined that the input device has been moved in the first direction during a predetermined suspension period, the first-type processing is executed. If it is determined that the input device has not been moved in the first direction during the predetermined suspension period, second-type processing is executed after the predetermined suspension period has elapsed.

The position of an opponent character is controlled on the basis of position data sequentially received from an opponent apparatus. The position of the opponent character is adjusted on the basis of the position data, the movement direction of a movement object, and a delay time in communication with an own apparatus. The opponent character is caused to perform an action on the movement object, on the basis of data received from the opponent apparatus.

Using output of an inertial sensor, whether an operation device is in a swing state of being swung is determined. Whether the operation device is rotated in a first direction about a predetermined axis of the inertial sensor or a second direction opposite to the first direction, is determined. Whether the operation device is swung in an upward direction or a downward direction is determined. First processing is executed in at least either a case where the operation device is rotated in the first direction about the predetermined axis or a case where the operation device is swung in the upward direction, during the swing state. Second processing is executed in at least either a case where the operation device is rotated in the second direction about the predetermined axis or a case where the operation device is swung in the downward direction, during the swing state.

Controlling game processing using determined rotational direction in combination with determined up/down direction

An example of a game system includes an input apparatus, at least a part of which elastically deforms by applying a force to the input apparatus. During the execution of a rhythm game, music is reproduced, and at each of a plurality of timings associated with the music, a user input is evaluated. If the input apparatus deforms at a predetermined timing, a user input at the predetermined timing is evaluated in favor of a user regardless of whether or not the input apparatus deforms from a time before the predetermined timing.

In a virtual space of an own apparatus, the movement speed of a movement object is reduced on the basis of a reduction value according to a communication delay time with respect to an opponent apparatus. The reduction value is adjusted such that the movement speed of the movement object is reduced in accordance with the time having elapsed from start of movement of the movement object. The opponent character object is caused to perform an action on the movement object, on the basis of data received from the opponent apparatus.

The composition for cell transplant of the present invention is a composition for cell transplant, containing cells and an aqueous solution containing a protein (A), the cells including a cardiac myocyte and/or a cardiac progenitor, the protein (A) having a degree of hydrophobicity of 0.2 to 1.2, the protein (A) containing a polypeptide chain (Y) and/or a polypeptide chain (Y'), the protein (A) containing 1 to 100 polypeptide chains as a total of the polypeptide chain (Y) and the polypeptide chain (Y&#x2032;), the polypeptide chain (Y) being a polypeptide chain having 2 to 100 continuous amino acid sequences (X), the amino acid sequence (X) having any one of a VPGVG sequence (1) corresponding to an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, a GVGVP sequence (2) corresponding to an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, a GPP sequence, a GAP sequence, and a GAHGPAGPK sequence (3) corresponding to an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, the polypeptide chain (Y&#x2032;) being a polypeptide chain having a structure in which 0.1 to 5% amino acid residues in the polypeptide chain (Y) are replaced by a lysine residue and/or an arginine residue and including 1 to 100 residues as a total of the lysine residue and the arginine residue.

Composition for cell transplant, and method for cell transplant

A game apparatus includes a CPU, and the CPU acquires character information data from another game apparatus by executing communication processing. Furthermore, the CPU calculates character information data from image data obtained by imaging a QR Code with a camera and acquires the same. The CPU generates a character on the basis of the character information data, and displays the generated character on a second LCD.

This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for smelting titanium metal by the thermal reduction of titanium oxide (TiO) to titanium metal (Ti); a mixed salt of calcium chloride (CaCl) and calcium oxide (CaO) contained in a reaction vessel is heated to form a molten salt which constitutes a reaction region, the molten salt in the reaction region is electrolyzed thereby converting the molten salt into a strongly reducing molten salt containing monovalent calcium ions (Ca) and/or calcium (Ca), titanium oxide is supplied to the strongly reducing molten salt and the titanium oxide is reduced and the resulting titanium metal is deoxidized by the monovalent calcium ions and/or calcium. The method and the apparatus make it feasible to produce commercially titanium metal suitable for a variety of applications from titanium oxide.
