Abstract: A gear shifting control device for varying a gear ratio of a synchromesh transmission which controls an actuator to agree with an actual value of sleeve load in an axial direction with a required value with higher accuracy at a synchronizer of the transmission. A continuously varying driving signal with time is supplied to the actuator when necessary to change the actual value of the sleeve load to the required value different from the current value. A reaching time of the driving signal reaching the value corresponding to the required value to the actuator is determined based on an initial speed which is a speed of the sleeve at start of supplying the driving signal and a vibration cycle when the sleeve load is vibrated in response to the supply of a step signal to the actuator.

Abstract: When a player instructs a movement of a player character from an input device, a control section obtains a position of the player character during a current frame period. The control section obtains a distance between the position of the player character during the current period and a position of a view point of a virtual camera during a previous frame period. If the obtained distance is less than a predetermined critical near distance, the control section moves the position of the view point away from the player character. If the obtained distance exceeds a critical far distance, the control section moves the position of the view point towards the player character. If the obtained distance is in the range between the critical near distance and the critical far distance, the control section does not move the position of the view point.

is formed with a circumference formed by the releasing slant
angle, and the incident end surface of the laser beam, an inner
surface of the cone concave part and a circumference surface
