Abstract: The present invention provides a gaming device which enables a
player to enter a tournament based on a qualifying outcome achieved on the
gaming device. In one embodiment, the gaming device includes a set of reels
including at least one qualification symbol. If at least one qualification symbol
is displayed within a display device of the gaming device, the player qualifies
for a tournament to be played at a later time. The tournament is preferably a
slot machine tournament. One or more prizes are awarded at the tournament,
including high value items such as cars and motorcycles as well as lower
valued items such as hats, T-shirts, jackets, memorabilia and other
merchandise. In this regard, the tournament provides convenience to a
casino as far as prize acquisition, distribution and record keeping are
concerned because prizes are awarded at one specific event instead of on
sporadic occasions. The payout percentages of the gaming devices providing
entry into the tournament are set relative to a cost of the tournament.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a rolling system
and a rolling method capable of avoiding the occurrence
of a pinch fold by effectively preventing the zigzag
movement of a rear end portion of a material to be rolled.
The rotational speeds (rolling speeds) of work rolls
(2) of a rolling mill stand (F 1 ) from which the rear
end of a plate material (6) releases, and a succeeding
rolling mill stand (F 2 ) are controlled to the same value:
Moreover, the tension between the rolling mill stand
(F 1 ) and the rolling mill stand (F 2 ) is controlled to
zero. The difference in tension between a work side
and a drive side can be made null between the rolling
mill stand (F 1 ) and the rolling mill stand (F 2 ).
Similarly, the difference in tension between the work
side and the drive side can be made null between the
plurality of rolling mill stands (F 2  to F n ) during
release of the rear end of the plate material (6).

Abstract: A graphical user interface for a computer-assisted motion video editing system directs
a user through the process of editing a video program. The graphical user interface may
also enable a user to plan a video program. Alternatively, selectable interfaces within a
single window interface, each of which provide a group of planning, capturing, editing,
and recording functions can provide such an interface for producing a video program.
Other simplifications to the user interface can be provided to assist in editing, such as
by maintaining a video display window for displaying the edited video program at a
fixed position for all available editing operations. Additionally, video information can
be captured directly into a timeline representation of a video program, rather than a
bin. Using a storyboard tied to the capturing process, a user is directed through the
process of collecting and capturing the video clips to be used in the video program.

Abstract: An estimated gear ratio is calculated on the basis of a relationship between engine speed and rotational speeds of wheels, and a designed gear ratio that has actually been set is calculated on the basis of gearshift stage information. An evaluating value as a degree of engagement of a clutch is calculated from a value of (estimated gear ratio / designed gear ratio). An amount of change in TRC target torque is more drastically reduced in proportion to an increase in the evaluating value (S236, S222, S232).

Abstract: A system and method automatically determines appropriate font characteristics for different display mediums and different readability parameters in any language. A method includes determining font characteristics by receiving data including a font identifier and a language identifier, producing a representative line of type in the identified language and with the identified font, measuring characteristics of the representative line of type, and normalizing the measurements across a plurality of fonts and a plurality of languages. The normalizing refers to widths of portions of the text called a "black river", which is used to identify plotted measured characteristics to determine an average grayness across a perpendicular to a reading direction. The average grayness enables comparisons to pluralities of fonts and languages. A system and method determines an optimum size for a font for readability. A method determines font characteristics by determining a character density for the font and multiplying the character density by a sharpest focusable area of the viewing medium.

Abstract: An exhaust purifying device is arranged in an exhaust gas
passage extending from an internal combustion engine. The
exhaust purifying device includes a NOx trapping catalyst that
traps NOx in the exhaust gas when an exhaust air/fuel ratio is
leaner than stoichiometric and releases the trapped NOx
therefrom when the exhaust air/fuel ratio is richer than
stoichiometric, and a particulate filter that collects a particulate
matter in the exhaust gas. A condition detecting device is
arranged to detect a condition of the particulate filter. An
exhaust air/fuel ratio control device is arranged to control the
exhaust gas from the engine in such a manner that the exhaust
gas has a target exhaust air/fuel ratio. When the exhaust
air/fuel ratio is changed from a stoichiometric or richer side to a
leaner side, the exhaust air/fuel ratio control device varies the
exhaust air/fuel ratio under the leaner air/fuel exhaust condition
in accordance with the condition of the particulate filter.
